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.
The norms of the community??? wow.
I recently visited an Aldi’s and cannot agree with you....their system is all about bringing the lowest prices to the consumers....including the customer returning their cart....you don’t have to....but you then will pay the quarter for not returning your cart.
I found many of their items comparable to main line stores as to quality. In fact some of it is even better imo.
I haven’t used any of their meat products as I go to a meat market I prefer. But I have not yet encountered any food that wasn’t tasty and will return to shop there.
