You get the quarter back when you return it though...

>>13345169
Do Americans really?

You insert the quarter to unlock it.
It doesn't leave the slot and when you put it back, it lets go of the quarter.
It's not storing anything and it's certainly not a coin-operated shopping cart if that's what you meant.

>>13345169

psh nothing personnel kid

>>13345169

I like their house brand Deutsche Kuche. Aldi is great if you want to shop for German foodstuffs. Everything else is meh.

>>13345169

>>13345169
Does it make anyone else irrationally upset when someone oh-so-graciously offers you their cart and refuses the 25¢ piece in your hand you were going to use anyway? Thank you, oh magnanimous landed Gentry, my family surely would have gone without if not for your quarter dollar

>>13345484
Huh?

>>13345484
No. It has never happened to me, but they deserve to lose more than that if they're so lazy that they need to exhaust the 25c to alleviate the guilt of being so extremely lazy.

>>13345169
>literally have to pay to use a shopping cart
why do people believe in capitalism again?

>>13345512
You pay for the right to leave it in the parking lot, not to use it. Shopping carts were actually created to increase spending, by the way, so they're happy for you to you to use them for free. They are very successful at escalating impulse purchases.

>>13345310
Do you own a dog, Anon?

>>13345685

Yeah...

>>13345687
Not for long with that weapon modification.

>>13345484
I've had someone offer me a quarter for mine while I'm leaving the store and I graciously take it because the quarter I put in the cart was sticky and dug out of the bottom of an ash tray

>>13345512
It's to force the normies to not leave their cart in the middle of the parking lot you fucking barbarians. Even the yuropoors figured that shit decades ago.

you get it back you idiot

>>13345512
its to stop niggers stealing them and throwing them in rivers

Protip: if you walk up to a cashier and tell him you dont have a quarter for a cart he will give you an ALDI branded plastic coin that you can keep and use instead, for free.

>>13345169
Just walk around and offer to take peoples carts back for the quarter. They'll probably let you cause they figure it's just a quarter. You could probably make a couple bucks ez if you were really hurting on cash for something at the time.

>>13345945
But why would anyone do that to begin with?

>>13346700
it’s not just anyone, it’s niggers

>>13346712
Doesn't answer the question

>>13345176
Yes, those dumbfuck just leave their shopping carts everywhere. Even better, they PAY a retard to go after the carts. Cashier, bag boys (kek), carts boys, and other fake jobs. Without niggers shitting everything, Bezosmarts would have crushed these supermarkets.

Not sure about you foreigners but here in the mothership where Aldi operates, namely germany, Aldi's prices are not really that low when compared to other popular discounters. Aldi often endrd up at #4th or #5th in tests. It's slowly moving towards Edeka and Rewe prices.

Best comment in the thread. Deutsche kuche is excellent and actually tastes like it does in de. The rest of Aldi stuff is ok.

Gave a cart to a spic yesterday and when I said quarter he looked away and did the nigger walk

I rationalized it in my head all evening

>>13346834
>>13345484

>>13346897
You paid a quarter for the convenience of not putting it back.
That guy had the option to take his quarter for putting it back or leaving it for someone else to cash it in.

>>13346734
amazon go is a lie, they pay people to watch cameras and manually add shit to their amazon shopping cart and ring them up manually as they leave.
It's literally a mechanical turk but they pretend it's all run on software and pressure sensors and facial recognition.

>>13345176
It's actually pretty clever. You put a quarter into the slot to unlock the cart so you can use it. It 'holds' your quarter - you can't get it back. When you're done shopping, you have to decide if taking the cart back is worth the quarter. Because when you put the cart back and lock it back in place, it pops the quarter out.

At the very least, it makes the parking lots cleaner and safer by forcing people to coral their carts. Cheap people, anyway.

this is common in Russia. at least big cities

>>13347541
I think it's a status symbol to leave your cart out or deign to give it to someone else. It shows that you don't need that quarter

>>13345326
The kraut is goat but the sausage is awfull

>>13345169
eventually there will be no more employees and everything will be done by putting quarters into slots located in various places around the store.

>>13347342

>>13347654
That doesn't explain why you would throw it into a river

>>13348045

>>13345518
And yet Aldi Shekleberg doesn't want to pay someone $7.25 an hour to go return the carts occasionally. Really makes you think.

>>13347530
There's no fucking way that's feasible.

>>13345945
But if I literally PAY for the cart then isn't it mine to take? There were no stipulations on what my quarter actually went toward (time of use or amount of use or whether it's borrowed or owned) and I decide to just hook it to the back of my truck, who's gonna stop me?

>>13348337
You're paying for the ability to unlock it from the phalanx. You could use the entire phalanx, or just use one, but you've got to keep them on the premises.

>>13345169
Australian here, I worked at Woolworths as a trolley pusher in highschool. Our ones need a gold coin ($1 or $2) to unlock.
People were still really lazy and left their trolleys in the street, so I got to keep any coins. Best haul was about $20, pretty sweet.

>>13345176
i've never seen one in my life I dont even know what an ALDI is

>>13345176

>Aldis is a euro store invading america

Do internationals really?

>>13345169
This is how I keep converting my stupid leaf quarters I get sometimes for american ones. Fuck the person behind me.

>>13348635
what? europeans really pay for using a cart? next you'll tell me they pay for baskets too

>You get your quarter back as soon as you return it

Am I missing something? Is this whole thread retarded? Unless you don't return the cart for whatever reason, you literally get your cart back, there is no profit or loss on your end at all

>>13348651

I mean they pay a TV license so anything is possible over there

>>13345169
i dont shop at tiny yurocuck stores so i couldnt tell you

>>13348651
At least they use them. I swear to Christ every time im in the store there are 20 people with 3-4 things in their carts using them. Like I get it walking is rough at that weight but fuck

It's why I started grocery shopping at 5am

>>13348717
I like to grocery shop in the evening

i fucking loved working here. let me smoke whenever, could sit while scanning, great team, $13 an hour for low iq work, cool boss, great hours i mean for a bum ass job it was 10/10

>Dimes, nickles, quarters

In Australia we call 20 cents "20 cents", not "fifths". We also call 50 cents as "50 cents".

Dumb amerimutts.

I always take a canadian quarter with me and trade it with someone who is returning their cart that way they get useless currency and I get their quarter.

>>13346647
I do that then pay for my groceries with New Hampshire state quarters.

>>13345945
Don't niggers have a quarter tho?

>>13345915
>It's to force the normies to not leave their cart in the middle of the parking lot you fucking barbarians
Or to make the local kids go collect them, both ways work.

>>13346675
As a kid, I'd collect trolleys from the car park because the mall had a fuck-huge car park and it was a long walk to return trolleys so people dumped them.
When I went with my mother to do shopping, kids would offer to return the trolley and she'd cuss them out and I'd have to do it and give her the coin.
We were poor.

>>13345310
I don't get it

I wish Walmart would do this.

>>13351431
blows my mind that people can't just grab a cart on their way in

>>13345310

>>13346712

>>13351451
actually they do it's just that they leave it back outside on some random parking space

>>13351453
It's for putting in the coin slot, dumbdumb

>>13345169
Is this really that uncommon in the US? It's been a thing in Europe for years. It's just to stop people from dumping their trolleys.

>>13345484
You are literally nuerotic, and I don't mean that in the insulting way. They probably just don't really give a fuck about a quarter and you've made this scenario in your head in which they think they are doing some mother theresa shit because you can't handle anyone doing something "nice" because you are an asshole. Or maybe you look extremely poor, or dirty and they don't want to potentially touch you by getting the quarter.

The system worked so much better when you could use only one type of coin. It's still functional but it also attracts beggars.

I’ve been working there for a little under five months, it’s not too bad. They start you off at a decent price and by the new year I’ll be making 12.70. It’s nice during the holidays cuz you can do an 8 hour shift just scanning shit, plus at the end of the day for us we get our speed record. It’s nice to do during college for decent cash.

>>13347541
>you have to decide if taking the cart back is worth the quarter
>>13347726
>it's a status symbol to leave your cart out or deign to give it to someone else
holy fuck, do americans really think like this?
apes in cage would make better job and put the carts back without thinking if moving their lazy ass is worth the coin or what other apes think about them for putting the cart back

>>13351972
If I see a person putting their cart back just to get a quarter, I know that person has a loser's scarcity mindset and I don't want that kind of energy in my team or in my life. I'll think more highly of the person who just leaves their cart or pushes it out into traffic or in the river.

>>13351954
What's a speed record and what's so nice about it?

I return the cart but leave the quarter in, since I'm not going to do anything with a whole dollar a year, and sometimes a brown guy chases me down and tries to return the quarter.

>>13351986
honestly you get your name on a dry erase board and at the end of the month you get tallied. I’d fucking destroy if I worked full time. If you do well I think it gets brought up during your performance review, but honestly, it’s just something to kinda make giving an effort worth it.

>>13345290
So it goes into the cart you're using? Or the cart in front of it? If it's the cart you're using, technically you bought the cart and can use it for anything and Aldi is responsible for anything you do with it.

>>13351954
Does it hurt your stats when I buy a box of bananas and you're required to open and weigh the contents a few hands at a time despite it being pre-weighed as 40 pounds?

>>13352000
yes, as much as I wish I could do that, it’d affect the store as a whole. The scales in the actual register at our store can’t handle that weight, and if we were to type in x=the prices per pound times 40 and call it just “general food” on the keyboard, it’d mess with inventory. It’s stupid, yet I’ve never had that issue as we display the food outside of their boxes unless they’re avocados or mangoes, etc.

>>13352013
There's usually whole boxes off to the side at the store here. I've grabbed one a couple times, but I get them elsewhere now, instant and neatly packed.

>>13352019
There’s a ton of shit I hate about the place but my opinions don’t matter as I’m just a corporate mealworm. Blueberry containers here split open constantly and create a huge mess, and we have these huge spotlights over the produce and nowhere else in the store. Shit gets rotten fast, and we have shlomo’s coming in constantly to get their $2.80 back on their spoiled bag of oranges or whatever. I get if you’re coming in during a shopping trip but If that’s your sole purpose in my line, you wasted your time and gas money. Also, I hate old white people who can’t read signs and argue prices and black welfare mongerers.

does Aldi take ABT in the states?

>>13352075
Fuck you, scum of the earth

>>13346730
Yes it does.

A quarter is not enough.I think you need to break the psychological dollar limit to make people actually care about returning the carts.

>>13352436
Or replace people by civilized human beings.

>>13352421
you sound a little triggered

never have to pay a quarter ever again

>>13352465
You don't pay the quarter. You deposit it and get it back when you return the cart. That gadget likely costs more than a quarter, and you risk it getting stuck or breaking each time.

>>13352475
good thing i found one laying on the floor. never heard of it getting stuck or breaking anywhere

>>13351914
What's the point? You get the quarter back when you return the cart, and if you don't return it it's still just going to be stuck inside.

>>13353718
That's a tool to eject the coin, not a token that sits in the coin slot instead of a coin.

>>13353026
I do. Like all things canadian, canadian money is worthless. have you ever tried what they call bacon? It ought to be a crime.

>>13347530
I can't tell if you're shitposting or if you should have been aborted. Possibly both

The best part is when youre returning your cart and you see someone going to get a cart and you kindly offer them your quarter you just used but they dont speak English and understand you so they refuse your quarter. Yes that happened to me.

>>13346734
That looks pretty cool, but looks like it'd be impossible to do with produce. So really I find it's only use for when I'm in town and I want to get something to drink or a quick bite to eat.

Why am I still unable to go to the grocery store, fill a cart, and just walk out, especially at stores like Trader Joe's that have everything pre-weighed and packaged?

>>13347726
I know for a FACT I feel like a king giving someone my cart, they sometimes offer a quarter and I decline.

>>13354371
You should. You ARE the King. It is a humbling experience to receive a cart from a king. It makes me want to be a better shopper, to really make that trip count.

Pretty cheap for all that metal, still don't understand how that would be profitable for them.

90% of "handicap" people I see parking in those spaces are just obese people using their fatness as an excuse to park closer. fuck them.

I use an aluminum slug to unlock the cart then when I’m done shopping I smash it into the slot with a hammer so it can’t be removed and leave it in the middle of a parking lot aisle

>>13347541

>>13357857

sure they do, you put on in when you shop

>>13357879

Okay that's nice but I want to hear from him because he said they were the best he ever had. I've gotten aldi pickles before and they were good, but I wouldn't say "best ever."

>>13345326
Do they really sell that as authentic German cuisine?

I'm a German and I've never seen or eaten Braunschweiger, Wernesgrüner is horrible Bacher is entirely unknown even if it looks a bit like Becks that is also shit.

The upper two Bratwursts look like the cheapest shit you can find and the lower one is too short to be put in a bread roll. That Sauerkraut also looks dodgy.

>>13360694
Fellow German here, I have never seen a "Beer Bratwurst" in a German store, neither ALDI or others. Nor have I ever seen sausages like the ones on the bottom left. Might be because we usually buy them at the local butcher though

>>13360694
You do realize those products aren't to scale, right? The brats on the bottom are actually bigger than the two packages at the top. The bacher brand beer isn't actually the size of a baby's foot you eurotard.

>>13347541
If I ever shop at Aldi I'll be sure to push the cart to the edge of their property out of spite for thinking that I'm that Jewish over 25¢.

>>13361853
And some other customer will come and wrangle it, glad to have a free quarter. All you will have accomplished is wasting money to "prove" a point to nobody.

>>13361851
That's just bad engineering. Whoever made the image needs to go back to school

>>13361865
Aldi's will get the point and they'll be taken aback. This will lead to lowered prices and removal of surveillance cameras

>>13362081
You've really thought this thing through. I'm in.

>>13345484
yeah kinda, but I have refused as I have a "Aldi quarter" that I always use for my cart. had it for 10 years now. ALL FUCKING CART GIVERS MUST FUCKING HANG

Just put a roll of quarters in your ass

>>13345176
Yeah, a ton of people just leave them behind. The carts where you have to insert a coin or token thingy into are not used by a lot of stores here. They are mainly used by stores that are discount oriented or chains that originated in Europe. Most chains just have an employee go around and collect carts every once in a while and bring them back to the store.
>>13357703
>One Dollar General I go to in the hood is such a shithole they wont even let carts outside of the store. Not sure how the manager gets away with that
Some dollar store near me has pipes attached to all the carts so that they can't fit through the doors. To be honest, I wouldn't trust some of those folks with my carts either though.

100% this, I have never got to keep my original cart at Aldi so I don't understand what all the reusable trolley chip memery is about in this thread. Do they just ask the cashier to let them keep the cart so they can get their token back?

it's one key. It sits in your keychain. You use as you go in, and key is still there as you leave. Why is this hard for your primitive brain to understand?

>>13363632
it's not, I understand it perfectly. I also see no problem with a quarter sitting in the car. And I don't understand why you said "I liek coinz in me pocket" like an autistic toddler. The coin is never in your pocket at any point of the process.

ITT: Americans make sure everyone knows they all act like niggers that just put carts everywhere and feel threatend by a super simple system that deters "youths" and actual teenagers from fucking with carts.

>>13352465
They switch the cart at the register. You don't keep the same cart. So you'd have to buy a new key chain and set of keys every time you go to aldi. Not to mention some rando is walking home with your keys when he gets your cart. And you don't have your key to drive home, so you just have to stand in the parking lot with your thumb up your ass.

>>13363640

The idea is that you use spare coins in your pocket like the everyday man. Should you have no coin (God forbid according to you) you go without a trolley. Meanwhile those that invested in a simple formation of metal don't worry in any circumstance get along just fine.

>>13363670
And what exactly is the problem with me keeping a quarter in my car?

>>13363673

What if you had no quarter in your car?

>>13363667
lolwat, that's not how it works.

>>13363679
why wouldn't I? I put a quarter in the car. It gets used in the parking lot. I get back on the way out. I put it back in the car. The cycle repeats. At no point am I losing a quarter. It's not complicated.

>>13363687

Your cycle is not applicable to every person.

>>13363680
It is at all the ones I've been to. Maybe it's different at yours. The cashier keeps a cart next to the register at all times so as you're unloading from the cart, it goes directly into the new one. And saves time having to wait for you to unload your cart and reload it. Then when all your stuff is paid for you take the new cart and fuck off, leaving your original one next to the register for the next person. It's a good system.

>>13363691
true, for the mentally retarded it would probably be a problem. Though for anyone with common sense it's fine.

>>13363697
>for the mentally retarded it would probably be a problem. Though for anyone with common sense it's fine.

Ah, the cope.

>>13345169
Lol I 3D print coins and leave em

>>13363699
don't hurt yourself trying to understand it.

>>13363711

Same goes for you, friend.

>>13363721
no it doesn't, I already understand it. You're the one that can't understand the concept of a quarter sitting in a car.

>>13347530
This is true.

Also, there are little people inside self-service machines operating the scales and holding up the scanner. Sometimes your items don't scan because their arms are tired and they take a quick break.

>>13363729

any you're the the one that doesn't understand a tool sitting on a keychain.

>>13363737
wrong again, I already clearly said I understand it.

>>13363745
>already clearly said I understand it

Wrongly.

>>13363692
Here in Australia, we unload everything on to the conveyor belt thing, and then when we get to the register it's a race between you and the cashier to get it into your empty trolley or bag as they ring the items up as fast as they can. You get the coin or token back when you return the trolley.

>>13363765

We also have self serve which depends on you to return the trolley to usual receptacle.

>>13363765
Yeah, from the sound of it the trading carts system is better. You don't have to rush to load everything in and hold up the line. The line moves much faster without rushing.

If you took an Aldi cart and deposited it in the bank, would it credit $0.25 to your account?

>>13363086
it's not cheap on most items. they only ever have 1 cashier. you have to pay to use a cart. selection is limited. aldis sucks

>>13363643
dumb wagie. it's your job to gather the carts not mine.

>>13364185
>it's not cheap on most items.
It literally is. It's cheaper than most grocery stores.

>they only ever have 1 cashier
The line moves very quickly.

>you have to pay to use a cart
You get the quarter back.

>selection is limited
It's not going to be as large as a megastore but the selection is pretty good, and they have a lot of great items.

>aldis sucks
Wrong.

>>13364206
There's such a shitty selection of everything. It's literally all feces and cum. There's shit all over the food, cum on the walls and windows and piss and cum puddles to slip in.

>>13364206
They always want the quarterback to be white. It's a racist stereotype that blacks are not cerebral enough to be pocket passers

>>13364257
You are a sad, strange, little man. And you have my pity.

>>13364601
Happy, normal, big man. All your pity are belong to me

>>13363765
Same here in Germany. I have never heard of a system where the cashier puts your stuff in another cart. Although that is not a dumb system, come to think of it. There have been times when the chashier had to stop working while I was still unloading stuff onto the conveyor belt because there was no more room to put stuff until I had pushed my now empty cart there. The problem is that some people will be using actual coins and some will be using only tokens and of course you cant exchange a coin cart for a token cart.

>>13345326
douche kouche?

>>13364740
That's the cuck system

>>13364743
They've got the power of the Kuche
He's got the fever for the flavor of the dookie

>>13364740
>There have been times when the chashier had to stop working
So it never occurred to them to have a separate cart sitting there so they could put it all in without stopping? Jesus you faggots are behind. By having another cart the line never needs to stop. You should mention it to them.

>>13363557
What the fuck is the cashier doing with your cart at all?

>>13348311
stop being a lazy fucking boomer and just walk your cart back to the corral, or use a hand basket

>>13366242
They don't have hand baskets where I go. Gotta use a cart or shove the food up your ass and shit it back out onto the conveyor belt

>>13366253
then just walk that shit back to the cart corral. It takes 30 seconds max to put it back and then you don't look like an asshole leaving a cart out in the middle of fucking nowhere.

>>13351995
>technically you bought the cart and can use it for anything and Aldi is responsible for anything you do with it.


Based

>>13366163
Apparently it's only some aldi stores that do this but they keep a cart next to the register and put the groceries directly into it to save time. Read the thread.

>>13348311
They absolutely could. But then the price of the groceries go up. And that defeats the purpose of aldi existing. The point of aldi is to minimize labor costs and pass the savings to customers.

>>13366163
Giving it a tune-up

>>13366296
God bless the Germans

>>13351995
Obviously into the one you're using.

>>13366309
No it goes into the one in front of it. That gives you an incentive to get the next cart faster before anyone else gets it since your quarter is in there. Keeps shopping pace up

>>13366253
>They don't have hand baskets where I go. Gotta use a cart or shove the food up your ass and shit it back out onto the conveyor belt
Aldi generates a lot of empty boxes and I've often seen them left near the entrance where customers can pick one up and use it to stick their stuff in. Not super convenient but better than nothing I guess.

>>13345169
>it's the same thread again

>>13366296
>>13366307
The funny thing is, aldi carts are always cleaner and in much better condition than ones from other places like walmart where they're all busted to shit with wheels that barely turn.

>>13366601
everyone would stare at you like you were a dirty thieving homeless if you did that

Is Aldi's for poors or is the food actually good quality /ck/?

>>13348717
In order to fill a cart, one must pass through only having both 3 and 4 things inside it.

>>13367180
Its not for poors because they tend to be in white neighborhoods not ghetto neighborhoods.

>>13366602
We've had Aldi's cart threads?

>>13367146
I think they're *supposed* to be used. In place of bags maybe?
I think they're being left out by the door deliberately so that customers will take some of them away and the store doesn't have to deal with them.

>>13367180
>Is Aldi's for poors or is the food actually good quality /ck/?
Bit of both, the staples are quite cheap so obviously it's great for impoverished students and poor people in general.
They have a few things in most lines that are really good though, some great chocolate, great cheeses, great cold meats. They have a range of European foods, mostly German, that you won't see anywhere else so they're also good if you like some continental delicacies.
E.G. Other supermarkets might carry a small amount of Stollen for Christmas, if you go to the right one and it hasn't sold out, but Aldi carries three kinds and they're all pretty great.

Aldi's $0.49 for avocados right now

>>13346700
You take them home because you don’t want to carry your groceries all the way yourself. Dumb kids then play around with them till they get bored and decide to be dumb and destructive, as poorly adjusted kids will be with everything that isn’t actually theirs.

>>13354083
I remember reading about Kroger’s testing out scanners you would take with you around the store, so that you could scan your items as you add them to your cart. Then instead of doing the whole self-checkout process, you just pay your total. This could maybe get simplified, but you'll probably still have something like Costco where they look at your receipt on the way out and do a quick assessment if the bags you're carrying seem about right for what it says.

I also saw someone recently testing a robotic shopping cart in a Target. I'm not sure what its purpose was exactly. He was just going around, loading up groceries into a little cart, but controlling the cart via remote.

>>13345169
Ameritards would be baffled to know that here in germany we have to pay a 25 cent deposit for each beverage can and bottle we purchase. You then have to bring the empty bottles back to the store where you throw them into a machine to get your money back. Poor people rummage through trashcans looking for eligible bottles and cans to get the deposit. We call those people 'bottle collectors'.

>>13369827
Returning and recycling glass bottles was actually a widespread thing in the usa. You can however blame corporations for using more and more single use containers rather than returnable ones.

>>13369827
when I lived in NY in the 90s, we had this too, way before the Euros

>>13345685
I also own a dog
pretty cool right?

>>13346752
Lidl has surpassed Aldi a long time ago, kind of a shame, only go when certain stuff(like the Mexican hotsauce and the American specials) are on offer.

>>13369827
Yall get a fucking quarter every time you put a can in? Jesus christ man we get like, 10 cents.

>>13369923
Not him but yea
Depending on bottle it's either, 0.25, 0.15, and glass beer bottles are 0.08 and I think the plastic cases have a deposit of 2.50

Also depending on geographic location you may call them 'deposit collectors'
But if you do throw them away just be nice and leave them next to the bin(in my city we have small cages attached to bins for this reason)

Aldi's is my life

>>13345169
Who carries around physical currency anymore?

>>13371311
People who don't want to be tracked. They need to be put on a watchlist

>>13371311
Redpilled people who refuse to bear the mark of the beast.

>>13371268
then you should know it's pronounced aldi not "aldi's" you fake poser bitch

>>13369450
kroger's thing is fucking gay and dumb and saves you no time compared to self checkout. The fact that you still need to go there before you can leave makes it a joke.

>>13348717
I really wish more places had those smaller carts like at TJ Max

>>13345169
>get all the quarters
what sort of petty criminal are you? go big or go home

>>13372911
>I really wish more places had those smaller carts like at TJ Max
I see them at Trader Joes, Winn Dixie, etc

>>13348717
I usually use the full sized carts except for at Wegmans because that place is always so fucking crowded its easier to move around with a cuck cart.

>>13345169
The idea is to stop you from stealing trollies. As it turned out people were mostly willing to return a trolly in order to reclaim their dollar, so these are quite successful.
However the technology has been beaten. There are now, in some inner city supermarkets, trollies with wheels that only turn on certain surfaces; like the supermarket floor and not like footpaths or roads.

>>13352551
>one wheel locks up
OK, so now all new carts work just as good as the shitty 5 year old carts with the one stuck wheel.

>>13373142
ours have transponders that lock the wheels outside the perimeter of the store.
It does fuckall, homeless people will push a cart that doesn't roll until it either starts to roll or they find a new one.

>>13348717
It's always fucking boomers.
Like holy shit, just get a walker.
