I feel like I need to share this because idk if Europeans are familiar with the presence of Aldi in the US, but at least especially in my area they’ve been growing a lot recently. Like Aldi bought out some local failing grocery chains where I live (Louisiana) and have opened Aldis in all these somewhat rural communities and small towns, which for the record I’m fine with

But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy

Here he is, the Aldi Cowboy

this really isn't the point of the post, but do americans not need to put a dollar in the shopping carts?

do you not get the universal experience of being in the parking lot when your mom is searching through the car for a dollar and you just sigh and hand one over?

[littlefirefly42]

No, that's wild?? The cart is just picked up at the entrance of the store, used, and returned to the entrance once all the groceries are loaded up in the car. Is their a point for the charge or is it just corporate greed? Follow up; where does the money go? Is there a kiosk next to the carts? It it like a parking lot fee situation or a carnival ride situation? OP said "in" the carts but like... where??

[moghedien]

the carts have these mechanisms where they are chained together and you need a quarter (in the US, its usually larger amount in other countries but $1 coins are very uncommon here) to unlock them. The coin stays in your cart while you're using it and once your return the cart and chain it back, you get the coin back. They're not actually making money off of the carts, its just a way to encourage people to return them rather than leave them all over the parking lot.

Fun fact, one time I was checking out at Aldi and an employee came over and handed me this little keychain to keep a quarter in so you never have to go looking for one to use. I've used the same quarter for years now
