Unfortunately not. The owner assumes no legal responsibility for what happens in the parking lot. You'll be responsible for the deductable, which is why we have insrurance; otherwise, the cost to fix your vehicle might be much more. You can check to see if maybe there's surveillance footage that might show what kind of car hit you. Particularly good cameras can often catch license plates. No. In a hit and run situation, you should file a police report. Unfortunately, unless the other car is found, your insurance company will have to cover the damamges.

Who is responsible to pay for damages to my car by a shopping cart at my place of work while i was working?

It is an unfortunate reality that you are.Without proof of who did the damage, your insurance company will pay for the damage once you make the claim.The owner of the cart is not liable, since they were not operating the cart.If you attempt to claim them liable, the owners of the cart, (the store), will make the assertion that since you parked where you did, you are more liable than they, since you chose the parking space, whereas they had no control over where the cart went.(It may seem messed up, but such is our judicial system, for logic or otherwise.)

In a parking lot, the blame is 50/50 (NO MATTER WHAT!!). You could be in the grocery store and somebody could obliterate your car by backing into it. The way the law looks at it, its 50/50.

Can a False id protects the seller and has no legal consequences for owner?

That's totally false. Using a false ID is FRAUD - punishable by a fine, imprisonment or BOTH. If it can be proven that the owner of the ID card knew that they'd given the ID to someone not entitled to use it - then they are ALSO liable for prosecution ! The store owner has the choice of either suing the perpetrator, or claiming the loss from their insurers.
