    Does Aldi have a patent on requiring a quarter to use a cart, or something? I know people frequently don’t carry change much anymore, but it seems to work pretty well so I’m sure people encountering this ensure they have a coin or two handy.

    What infuriates me more is how so many companies - including Walmart - have eliminated virtually ALL trash receptacles in the parking lots. That’s cheaping out to a ridiculous degree, IMHO.

    Don’t ever come to Australia. It’s an entire country full of scumbags too lazy to return their carts. They’ll just chuck it in an empty parking space so you can’t see it until you’ve committed to the space.

    This gave me an idea. Is it possible to judge a society by looking at supermarket parking lots?

    Maybe they received a call their Partner was rushed to the hospital, their child was home alone and hurt, their crazy ex spotted them and was harassing them as they loaded their car, a person whose back went out loading their car and couldn’t walk, a disabled person who doesn’t have a placard for special parking

    Relax yourself. Do you realize half of the world lacks sufficient clean drinking water?
