While others believe it is just plain "wrong" to require any "deposit" for a cart. And for those folks, there are SO MANY places to shop that do not "require" the $.25 deposit. Frankly, I think the goal is to keep CUSTOMERS autos safer from scratches and damage from carts people just use and "let go"... every watch how many cars are hit by ONE cart on a really windy Florida day.But, fortunately, no one is forced to even take a cart at Aldi, most take their own shopping bags anyway.

I agree with the psyhological factor, but I don't agree with the vehicle damage factor. Aldi's has small, parallel parking spaces that are subject to getting door dings from an adjacent vehicle. On the other hand, Publix has large, angled parking spaces that allow you to park far enough away from the adjacent vehicle and avoid door dings.
