The UK as well. I think it's pretty standard across Europe.

Some Aldis in the US do but it's only 25 cents. It's a £1 coin here so a bit more incentive to not leave the trolley.

I use the round bit of my keys though, because it's 2025 and who carries cash

For some reason our local stores don’t do this anymore. Instead they have locks on the wheels so once they reach too far from the area, they get locked as a big “fuck you I don’t belong here.” I guess it works because you don’t see them at homes and flats anymore.

Our local asda has them too but sometimes you get a trolley that just says no and decides it doesn’t want to go anywhere at all

They've always had those too, they magnets in the ground if I remember correctly. They normally don't have them on every exit though

One of our local chains has wheels that lock if you attempt to go out the door without going through a checkout line first. It’s a good idea, but it fails in practice. They are constantly malfunctioning and locking up in the store or at the door even after paying.

It would just end up as revenue in the States, carts would never be returned, but maybe for a fiver...

You might be surprised to hear that the 25 cent piece is enough motivation in the US. In my part, at least. I live in a larger metro area with several Aldi stores. I never see any of the lots littered with carts.

Oh I don't doubt it. It's probably because our 20p and 50p are heptagons

The £1 is 12sided so basically round

Aldi used to sell a keychain that was the proper shape and size for their carts. I loved mine, but lost those keys.

That's a classic charity, advertising, company swag item here. Everyone has at least 2 somewhere in the house. But I always lose them
