  2. bearlandia said: Some supermarkets here in Westchester, NY as well.
  3. serpens said: Oh, and it doesn’t really “cost” you, the coin comes back out when you bring the cart back; that’s why they do it, to stop people stealing them or just leaving them wherever like a lazy fucker
  4. werewolvesandsangria said: You get the money back when you return the shopping cart. So you don’t so much pay to use it as you rent it for the duration of shopping. I know this to be true as I am Canadian.

    In the UK you have to put a £1 coin in to release the chain, but you get it back when you return your shopping trolley.

  12. hoskie said: There are stores in the US that do that too (e.g. Aldi) and stores in Canada that *don’t* do that (Dominion doesn’t… or at least not last I was there).

    That’s only at crappy ghetto grocery stores, where they’re worried about people stealing carts, apparently 25c is enough...
  17. danielefton reblogged this from noodlesandbeef and added:
    We used to have some of those here, but you got your quarter back after you returned the cart.
  18. needle said: It’s like that at some supermarkets in the US, like Aldi. They also don’t offer bags (so you have to bring your own) and have a massively smaller selection of items as opposed to a standard supermarket—all to control costs/savings.

    what.
