I’m having a tough time imagining a scenario where you’re in too much of a hurry to spend 30 seconds returning the cart, but not too much of a hurry to buy your merchandise and load it in your vehicle.
Unless you get a phone call just after unloading your shit into your car what sort of emergency allows you to shop but still demands literally no second be spared?
I suppose if it was dire you save those 30s, it’s acceptable.
But you would not be immune to being judged by a third party. They wouldn’t know the situation is dire unless explaining it, which would take at least a few seconds.
What if returning the carts is my usual practice, but there was a time crunch one time and I needed to save myself the extra 30 seconds?

Maybe if you are about to piss your pants, but even then you should check inside the store first. But that’s about it
Then your time management sucks.
If you are in such a hurry you don’t even have 30 seconds, you shouldn’t be shopping in the first place, especially if you buy enough to fill a cart.
Believe it or not, jail!

The post specifies an exemption for dire emergencies. It would need to be pretty dire for 30s to make a meaningful difference.
Otherwise, by the metric here, you’re a bad person whenever you’re in a moderate hurry.
I always just park next to the cart return things. Makes it easier to find your car and you don’t have to walk as far.
Parking next to the cart return doesn’t count. You must bring the cart all the way back.
