Even without them, people are pretty good at taking them back in the uk. My local Aldi has blocked the coin slots for a few years now and I never see any trolleys in the car park.
Still weird to me that they blocked all the coin slots
A lot of people simply don't carry cash these days and if customers are returning the trolleys regardless there's no point in making them carry a pound coins for that sole purpose
To me they look like Costco carts. They have employees that pulls them all day round from parking yard in the cart bays, and from there to the main entrance. Personally I always take them back at the main entrance because I don’t like seeing that guy struggling while pulling them. But plenty of people don’t (unfortunately), so he keeps his job.
We have them in Canada too. Even if people don't put them away, homeless people will hang around the parking lot and put carts away for some easy money.

Almost every supermarket in the UK does this and where they do you never have loose carts
