    My local aldi does this and still when I get there I find like 3 trolleys scattered around the tiny carpark. I can only grab like two max to take with me to the pen.

      Yeah. For a lot of people a quarter is nothing and worth tossing for the convenience of not being a decent person.

        Yeah for me the real value here is where the hell am I going to get another quarter. I use my phone to pay and don’t carry cash.

          Whenever I go to Aldi (US) there’s usually at least a couple carts with quarters left in the parking lot so I just put them back. The quarters pile up in my car until I eventually bring them inside.

        Fine, they can subsidize the cart retrieval employee cost.

        Also I discussed this with someone in the UK once and they pay an entire pound for a cart… we do quarters because it’s the largest denomination common coin in the US.
