For crying out loud!

THE 25CENTS IS JUST A TOKEN YOU GET BACK WHEN YOU RETURN THE CART TO THE RACK.

THIS MEANS THERE ARE NO LOOSE CARTS TO ROLL INTO YOUR CAR AND SCRATCH THE PAINT OR WORSE.

WHAT I HEAR IS YOU WERE TOO DARN LAZY TO PUSH THE CART BACK.

I suppose a parking lot cluttered with hastily abandoned carts is better???

NEEDING an electric cart for reason of disability is a different matter.

One day I pocketed a quick 75cents for no more than a couple minutes “work” of racking shopper-abandoned Aldi carts before going in to get my groceries.Of course I also pick up loose change from the sidewalk.

How many who are too busy/lazy to get a moment’s exercise returning shopping carts properly have memberships in a gym where they pay to be allowed to exercise?

I live in a community where there are NO loose carts rolling around in the parking lots. EVER. There are places where carts are collected, and EVERYBODY returns their carts there. Sometimes they pass them off to other shoppers who are just arriving. Certainly I’m not too lazy to return a cart. My neighbors and I always do.

I don’t know why Aldi has to operate against the norms of the community. It’s insulting.

If you want to scrounge around for quarters by returning carts — more power to you.

You can get STDs from doing that.
