      Theres plastic tokens you can use in those. In Poland, in nearby leroy merlin (it’s a french(?) home improvement store) they even give them out to customers.

      I guess people don’t carry around change all that much here.

      if I put a quarter in the cart that would tell me precisely how much the value of the cart being returned is, and as such increase the likelihood of me putting it in a bush.

              as soon as they offer a way to make something a transaction they shouldn’t be suprised when people treat it as such

      I once paid 8 fucking bucks to use a cart at an airport. They give you a quarter back for returning it. I feel like they misunderstood the meaning of “deposit” but whatever, I absolutely did not return that shit and hopefully someone else saved 8 bucks.

      That’s just forced incentive to take it back.

        And it works. I’ve never seen an Aldi with a parking lot strewn with carts.

          Sometimes I don’t even make it back to the cart area before someone comes up to me with a quarter to trade for the cart.

          Kinda sounds like the people around you are a problem. In my area, most places are paid but even the free ones don’t have carts just left around. They’re often lazily put in the shelter thing but they’re in there.
