I've never shopped at Aldi's, and probably never will, but I gather that they take a $0.25 "deposit" to use a shopping cart?????

I always return my cart, but if I ever went to Aldi's and they treated me like a child demanding a "shopping cart deposit", I'd go passive-aggressive and leave their cart in the lot, hoping it would cost them more than a quarter to retrieve it. In fact, when minimum wage goes to $15/ hr = $0.25/minute, I'll bet it will take an employee more than 1 minute to retrieve it, especially considering how far away I would leave it. But that's just another reason I won't be shopping at Aldis
