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 takeemployee 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

But really? I mean really? To take the quarter concept personally to the point of flying off the handle and threatening to shove carts all over the lot to make powerless employees’ jobs harder is. . .well. . .is. . .well, I just don’t know what to say about that…….

This is a long and winding thread, so I just wanted to clarify that my post above was not about those posters just saying they don’t like the Aldi cart quarter thing. That’s their prerogative.

My point of reference was the raging post, also quoted above.

I assume it was hyperbole, but……..

Speaks volumes — and not about quarters.
