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
That's a bit petty.
Aldi are smart and need one less employee to gather the wayward carts.
I have no idea of Aldis wage structure in US. but in UK they are the best paying grocery chain.
That includes the 'posh' stores similar to Publix, where many shop to pay higher prices for the same food.
