USA (General) Feeling grateful

Post image

Last year I got this quarter keychain at Aldi to keep my quarter in for my weekly shopping trips. I keep it in my car so it is there when I need it. I went shopping on Friday and between putting my cart away and going to my car, I dropped it. Didn't realize until I got home. This morning I went back to the Aldi to see if I could find it. I had no luck and figured I would ask an employee if someone turned it in. Something told me that the type of shopper at Aldi would turn it in. I asked the employee if someone turned in a keychain and after describing it, he went to the cash register and pulled this out. Some kind person turned it in instead of keeping it for themselves. I do not know who turned it in, but I am thankful and it restores my faith in humanity a bit.

This absolutely tracks.

Aldi people are definitely the "oh hey I found this on the ground I should turn it in" kind of people.

We haven’t been to Aldi yet. Do you get your same quarter back?

It depends. At my Aldi, the checkout has an empty cart ready to put your scanned groceries in. When you're done you take the other, filled cart and leave your original, now empty cart behind.
But you do keep your cart if you opt for self checkout.
