even though you gain nothing

This is Aldi, I get my quarter back.

    I once paid 8 fucking bucks to use a cart at an airport. They give you a quarter back for returning it. I feel like they misunderstood the meaning of "deposit" but whatever, I absolutely did not return that shit and hopefully someone else saved 8 bucks.

    That's just forced incentive to take it back.

    And it works. I’ve never seen an Aldi with a parking lot strewn with carts.

    Kinda sounds like the people around you are a problem. In my area, most places are paid but even the free ones don't have carts just left around. They're often lazily put in the shelter thing but they're in there.

    Theres plastic tokens you can use in those. In Poland, in nearby leroy merlin (it's a french(?) home improvement store) they even give them out to customers.

    I guess people don't carry around change all that much here.

    if I put a quarter in the cart that would tell me precisely how much the value of the cart being returned is, and as such increase the likelihood of me putting it in a bush.

    So you’re just a trash human and openly admitting it? Congrats, I guess?

    Of something tells me the exact price for a service I will either take full advantage of it or not use it at all

    as soon as they offer a way to make something a transaction they shouldn't be suprised when people treat it as such
