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.
