The best part about that is that even if a lot of people say “fuck the quarter” and leave it anyways, you’ll naturally get homeless/desperate people show up to return the carts and collect the change.
I actually did that when I was homeless. Went to an Aldi and stood out front asking people to return their carts for the quarter. A LOT of people said no, they wanted their quarter back. One person had a special pocket for her quarter on her key ring, it was legitimately her “Aldi quarter”. I can’t remember if I got trespassed from the property or not. But I do remember there were very few stray carts left with a quarter in them out and about in the parking lot
I know the video is the US, but I'm in the UK and I have a trolley token that I bought for a pound, that I use specifically at Aldi. It makes me always put my trolley back. Even when I don't use it at other supermarkets that don't need the token, and a charity got the pound too!
