Is this Aldi?
yummycoot
yeah I think. Aldi in Australia needs you to put a coin in the trolleys to unlock them. Not in other super stores.
ClassicFumiko
You must be a mid-west person. I like you, but not as much as I like Aldi.
nickoftime90
I am.
harthram
Is this the kind you have to a quarter in, and you get the quarter back if you return the cart to its proper place?
GorgeFloyd
No it's some other kind.
randomplaceholder
Yup! The chain normally connects carts together, and when you insert a coin the chain pops out and you can use the cart.

For those asking, these are carts that cost a quarter to unchain and you get it back when you return it. OP cabled the cart to itself 1/2
lux1s
This is the only comment that made me understand exactly what I was looking at. Thanks
ElbowDeepInAHeadlessHorseman
to get the quarter back without returning it to the cart line. IMO the bigger challenge is finding the quarter to use in the first place :p
knotwhatiwant
Does anyone know why they do this? If I want to steal a cart then a quarter is pretty cheap. It seems like an inconvenience, not deterrent.
keioto
So people put them back in the trolley areas, or dump them for people who need quarters. But some how keys will be able to work & be removed
DressInDragAndDoTheHula
To encourage people to bring their carts back inside. Otherwise lot carter gets to keep your quarter.
vnqx
Is this like a Europe thing or something?
InhaleMyBumHole
BC Canada does this with dollar coins.
cool69rtcharger
I was thinking the same thing. I know of the system but have never seen it before.
didntshootthedeputy
Apparently it's very European. I didn't know this wasn't done in stores in the US.
RedHeadedFreckleyMuscleyLovableEaterOfSouls
Or Aldi's. That's in the good ol' U.S of A.
DeathclawSanctuary
Well Aldi is a German company so...
RedHeadedFreckleyMuscleyLovableEaterOfSouls
Not refuting that. Just stating it does exist in the U.S.

As a non-shopper I don't know what you did. But others seem impressed, so yay you. Have a +1 for your trouble.

wait....how are you a non shopper? how do you live?

Op stole a quarter dollar.
DOWNVOTEALLEMOJIS
25% of a dollar, if you will

A non shopper? Are you 5?
Basher626
I actually had no idea what this was either. Thought she chained wallet to cart to prevent theft or something... Never seen those before.
Postoolio711
I haven't been to a place that uses these kinds of carts in a while, it's possible not everyone lives as eccentric of a shopping life as you

PartyMarty92
Put a quarter in the shopping cart. When you put it with other carts you get your quarter back. Helps ppl to not leave carts out
andrewtater
Now the store doesn't have to pay for an employee to grab carts in the lot. Popular in Europe. That's what raising min wage does
ThisIsJustMySecondNSFWAccountMoveAlongOrPMmeIDontCare
I don't know what's worse about this, that people are too lazy to return carts or that there are some specifically designed to exploit this.
TheUpdootist
I think it's generally a good idea. Provides an incentive to be responsible for your shit. Also helps to reduce time spent corralling carts
andrewtater
Reduces # of employees on the payroll. I had a convo with a buddy who worked at a grocery store. He said this is genius, and dangerous
HiMyNameIsKevinIHaveChangnesia
We could change it to having to put your car keys in there. That would make people put the cart back for sure.
TheUpdootist
But then you couldn't be nice and gift random people your paid for cart.
Blagno

NSAgent
Grocery stores where I live don't have this, weird.
CrazyCatLad
It seems like a dying fad. ~10 years ago everyone had it. Now I seldom see it.

I can think of exactly one place around me that does, and that's Aldi's. Everywhere else? Nop.
darkprincess0212
Yep.
InhaleMyBumHole
BC Canada does this but with their dollar coins.

He put his carts own lil key thing in itself. Normally goes in the next cart to lock them together but @OP is a wizard
WhyNotUncleIroh
That... is something I've NEVER heard of...
a55mu11e7
where do people lock shopping carts? I've honestly never seen that after having lived in 4 states...
DIDWARD
When I lived in DC the carts had remote locks on the wheels. So if its leaves a certain proximity the wheels would lock up to prevent theft.
westo48
Ya I've shopped a lot at OK, CO, FL, and where I live Texas, but I have never seen or heard of anything like that
AstroBlackS
I've never seen this either, but I am aware of it. Around CT, NY, NJ metro area, they have the carts with the invisible fence for the wheels
bingocuzzin
Canada
Beelsebooob
Having lived in places with these, and now without, I'd rather have the locked ones - it stops people leaving them all over the car park.
BenScottDrWhoFan
Certain smaller or discount stores is where i see them most, or just in areas with high theft rates
didntshootthedeputy
It's more incentive to return the cart to the bay instead of leaving it in the parking lot.
didntshootthedeputy
1)I live in central Europe and every single store has carts like these. It's not really theft deterrent (50 cents is a bargain for your very
didntshootthedeputy
2) own cart), but so that people take the cart back to the bay instead of leaving it in the parking lot or whatnot.

Europe.
nexano
All of the European countries?
Fairdinkums
Pretty much, it seems people are more protective of their trolleys in England and Europe than America
5047
I thought they all do that everywhere mostly so its easier to move a giant string of carts at once but also I guess so they don't get stolen
bulbocavernosusreflex
Lived in 7 states and I have never seen this.
Cheomesh
MD here - exactly one place has them, and that's Aldis.
betterave
I thought this was to encourage people to return their carts, instead of leaving them scattered in the parking lot.
Cheomesh
tbh .25 is worth it.
5047
Oh yeah there's that too. Locked carts are useful! One cannot rely on customers not being lazy as fuck without incentive
BecauseRonCadillacIsFrickinEpic
Aldi carts are this way. $.25 unlocks the cart for use
bingocuzzin
Shit ours is a loonie ( 1$)
BecauseRonCadillacIsFrickinEpic
We Americans have no concept of the value of money.
Cheomesh
Dollar coins never really caught on here in the US. We have them, but they're not popular for whatever reason.
lGneousMlracIe
Just be glad you haven't lived in an area where carts are like this. If your stores can survive with just wheel locks, you're in the clear.
Cheomesh
Except THIS guy has found the "dead spot" outside the Food Lion where it will definitely lock up even when you're in bounds. fml
RealScienceMan
Hmmm my stores don't even have that, they just trust me not to walk off with it.
lGneousMlracIe
They probably do and you don't realize it. They look like normal wheels but lock when taken too far from the store.
didntshootthedeputy
2) carts to the bay instead of leaving them in the parking lot.
didntshootthedeputy
1)The system above isn't theft deterrent (1€ isn't going to keep anyone from stealing a cart) but so that people have an incentive to return
EroticRhinocerous
Aldi does it to cut costs for stolen carts
TacticalPuke
Also to make their customers return the carts, rather than leave them behind all over the parking lot.
instantcrush
Seems like good reasoning to shop elsewhere, then.
EroticRhinocerous
eh, not really. you save more than any other discount retailer, you get your quarter back by doing something as simple as returning a cart
