Shopping cart locks meant to stop thieves confusing shoppers

Aldi stores, in the US, uses that method. It is amazing how easy it is to confuse Americans.

When my friend went to a store that did this I spent the whole time outside returning carts. I made five dollars!

Just use a key and do it in the store

How is this confusing? I have lost all hope for humanity 🤦

[@skyland1a218]

because people assume by default that you don't get your money back

It changes for every state you go to

This isn't to stop cart thieves. It's to not have to pay an employee to round up carts every 30 minutes.

[@NECHOII]

*AT ONE POINT TWO GROCERY STORES IN MY AREA HAD THE QUARTER-IN-CART SYSTEM, BUT FOR SOME REASON IT DIDN'T LAST LONG! (only around late 2019.)*

[@Frank-pj2tb]

They've never been to Aldi apparently.

[@jonathantrego]

In NJ they have had these since I was a little kid. It was a way for stores to encourage people to return the cart properly, also it would encourage homeless people in the parking lots to return stranded carts for the quarters (as opposed to walking off with them as frequently happens in some stores without them). It’s a win win, I am shocked this is such a new thing to so many people.....

[@NECHOII]

*I KNOW, RIGHT?*

[@ZGreatWhatever]

So now they will steal them for a quarter. This is stupid

we had these but people kept breaking the locks off to steal quatres. Some how people got the idea the locks were full of money.

[@domingocavazos]

Customers here will say they don't have money to put in that cart. *face palm

This was meant to make cart pusher’s job easier but instead it made it harder. Customers are always asking you to unlock the cart for them.

That must have been one slow news day.

I've met alot of people that are still at least 25 cents worth of lazy.. I dont see how this is any kind of deterrent..

It’s mostly a European thing. In Australia they have both. Also I thought Aldi/lidl has it and the USA has those chains. I guess not in this town.

[@svampebob007]

in Norway they take 1.23-2.25 USD. because the slowest value coin is usually thrown away, the next lowest is physically too big and not very common to carry, while the two highest value are very common, so even our shopping carts are more expensive in Norway.

[@reiki2165]

This is stupid and more of a hassle for customers. I got people stealing my cart cos I left it unattended for a few seconds in and out of the store. Plus you got beggars out in the front asking for quarters, and new customers looking at you returning a cart and hoping you are a good Samaritan and give them your cart. Couldn't they just put in a lock mechanism like war-mart where if you pass a certain point, the wheels lock and become unable to push?

[@helookalikaman79]

na that would require an employee to go get them $$$$

[@NECHOII]

*MOST STORES THAT CONTAIN SHOPPING CARTS ALREADY DO THAT! (there's even a yellow sign that warns them beforehand, just like when a car is about to approach a stop sign on the road.)*

[@Mike-gl2pf]

The ShopRite that I work at use to have these locks. The customer would always complain about not having a quarter. Eventually people would ruin the locks by placing the key into itself so they can get their quarter.

[@quinnp3172]

With all of the shopping carts in the parking lots I guess people could take them back, take the quarters and get “rich” from all the quarters LOL! 🤣

[@prabhandpardeep]

You will need at least 100 shopping carts with quarters inside to make 25$. Sometimes, carts dont have money in them because sometimes staff at the store can unlock it for you without coin. If you request that you don't have the exact coin, it needs

Great invention! If you dont return the $150 cart, you dont get your quarter back! SMART OPERATION!

I would think it’s to force people to force them to return to stall. Thieves now can just get a cart for 25 cents 🛒 🪙 💨

[@helookalikaman79]

99Cent corporate claims that their carts are costing them big $$$$$ in fines from the county for their carts being left everywhere, so they claim to save that money customers saves money... When asked about the locking wheels on the carts like everyone else, as this quarter deposit will not stop the carts still being left in the same places as before,,, no comment....

[@KarmahatesLs]

Just take the cart with the quarter in it 😂 it doesn't help theft

[@Muz1k10]

If you take random carts back you you totally deserve the quarter lol I like this, but they should definitely put a small sign explaining things if they don't already have one

[@NECHOII]

*A LOT OF BUMS GO AROUND THE GROCERY STORE PARKING LOTS JUST TO COLLECT THE QUARTERS!*

[@deadlock89]

Them locks have been used in the uk for so long i can't even remember a time where they didn't exist. I even have a fake coin token on my car keys just for trolleys.

Here in Canada, im 34 and I remember these since I was a kid. Now they've installed the magnets that lock the whole cart once you leave the property. Then the cart wheels lock and you're shit out of luck. Lol cant get your quarter or dollar back now!! Haha

[@NECHOII]

*IF YOU RUN THEM INTO THE CURB OF THE PLAZA PARKING LOT~ THAT INCREASES THE CHANCE OF LOOSENING THEM: IF THE CART PUTS ON IT'S OWN BRAKES BEFORE IT HITS THE CURB, THAT MEANS IT DOESN'T WORK OUTSIDE THE PROPERTY!*

I wheeled the cart home and cut the lock off with an oxy torch. Few minutes with an angle grinder and I had my quarter back. I eventually made the cart into a nice welding trolley.

[@NECHOII]

*ONCE I HAD TO GET A KNIFE TO GET THE QUARTER OUT BECAUSE IT WAS EXTREMELY STUCK IN THE FUCKING LOCK!*

[@SuperTregs]

These have been where I live since the mid 90s... Now, we have carts some places with GPS boundaries that lock up when people (IE homeless people) try to walk out of the lot with them... And, can also track where they are if somehow they do get taken and require the city to be called to reaquire.

[@prabhandpardeep]

It's actually a magnetic sensor rather than a gps. They just have a wire underground to set up the perimeter. When the cart goes over that field, a motor jams the wheel

[@plasmo942]

We had them everywhere in Australia and recently the have been removed so we don’t haveneed to put a dollar or two dollar in. It was an inconvenience and the only place in the town I live I know of that still has 5hem is FirstChoice a alcohol shop

[@williamworth2746]

Its an annoying way companies cut out another persons job it forces you to return the shopping cart. This job was mostly filed by special needs individuals and now we have to hunt down a quarter just to get a damn shopping cart.

[@alexmst3091]

It’s not annoying at all, what’s actually annoying is the bunch of assholes who leave these shopping carts all over the fucking parking lot and then not being able to park, there are designated places to take them back and Americans are fucking lazy.

A quarter or a free cart. People will still walk off with them. Paying a quarter won't stop thieves. But it is a start. Locking systems will be the ultimate deterrent.

[@ddouglas8161]

I can spot a problem bigger than theft. A little old lady who only can rely on public transportation, how is she supposed to get her groceries home? What if there were public rental carts, ones that can be safely taken on the bus, or safely docked on a taxi? But I want to point out that there should be the ability to rent shopping carts that way people are less inclined to steal shopping carts from the store.

[@TheRealFOSFOR]

Obviously it is only there so that people would return the cart to the right place, not to somehow stop people from stealing them! This is exactly the same why bottles and cans have a deposit here.. so that people would return (aka recycle) them and not just throw them in the trash.
