I don’t mean just returning your shopping cart to the cart area, but actually sliding it back in. At my grocery store, some people half ass stack it back in or don’t at all. This drives me nuts because when I come to return my cart I have to fix the mess before I can return mine. Plus, I don’t want the workers who collect the carts to do any more work than they already do.
I caught this one guy who was returning his cart and I had to wait until he was done. Instead of stacking his cart, he just left it there in front of the stack and I said, “C’mon man!” He was surprised and said, “Oh!” then immediately stacked his cart.
here you usually have to insert a coin to get the cart and only get it back when tou return it properly
I have a thingy on my key-chain that unlocks the carts without the need for coins!
I still return my cart and stack it because I’m a civilised person of course.
Aldi is the only store that does that in the US. It’s also the only store where I don’t return my cart, as the store has extended an offer to not return the cart in exchange for a small payment, and $0.25 is less than a minute of income at minimum wage.
In such places, beware of the person returning their own trolley / cart and offering to take your coin in return for theirs. Because eventually you’ll get one who has used a coin-sized token and they’ve just conned you out of actual money.
But even so, were it not the case there was some kind of coin / token deposit system, would you return your cart? I know I would.
