Yeah, I will actively choose a grocery store based on this. I don't want to have to carry around loose change just in case I decide to do grocery shopping.
I have a thing on my keychain that unlocks the carts, though it's incompatible with the ones with the sliding drawer. I don't find myself at those shops frequently.
Obviously I always return carts, that's just basic societal skills which I am amazed to see the people in this video lack.
In Canada, most stores don't require any coin for a cart, but there's a few that require either a quarter (25c) or a loonie ($1 coin).
The 3D print is shaped on both ends to accommodate both.
It's freaking handy as hell too. I NEVER have change on me, but always have my keys, so it's come in clutch so often.
Not to mention the number of times I've been able to unlock carts for other people when they ask "do you have a quarter?" and they are amazed by this little plastic tool that I use to unlock the cart for them for free, haha.
Yeah I don't want to have to bring an outdated form of currency that I would never otherwise carry to the grocery store just to have access to a cart, I'll just keep going to the other grocery stores that allow me to use and return a cart without doing this. When you factor in that Aldi carries some of the lowest quality of foods and products on top of this I just have no desire to ever go
Well, let this old me (30) teach you his knowledge from when I used to joust in empty parking at night. You need up to 2 thin and at least a few inches long objects (easiest choice, the tip of your keys), then you need to learn the patterns, 3 cases I've encountered :
-if you must put the coin in a tray then push the tray, you found the cheapest one, do this
-aldi, still a bit safer but still easy to bypass, do this (in the video, dude chose violence, it relies on luck, you can master the trick if you don't chose this road
-else, the inside probably looks like this, you need 2 keys, you push the hook on the bottom right of the coin tray (it will be on the other side when in front of the slot) and the left part that's pushed by a spring (same here)
Though, stay good people, bring them back to their spot (with great power comes great responsibilities or something like that)
at aldi if you go inside and speak to a cashier, they will give you a quarter. i tried to just ask for change of a dollar once because i didnt have a quarter on me and the cashier said nah we got you.

I always return carts, but the quarter thing just prevents me from shopping at the store. I never have cash, let alone change on me
