I dunno about nowadays but where I'm from Cart Boy was totally a single function job in retail stores. You'd be hired just to gather carts. My friend liked it when people left them further away cuz they'd have an excuse to dawdle a bit and not interact as much with annoying customers.

For me, we primarily spent time bagging groceries until a decent number of wayward carts built up. Then we would collect them until there were only a few stragglers that weren't worth collecting by themselves and go back to bagging. Nowadays it would probably be gathering stuff for instacart orders instead.
