This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Murica, fucked up because of shopping carts. In germany you have to put money in the cart, and get it back while bringing the cart back to where it is from. Problem solved.

Aldi is the only grocery store around here that does that, and it's a German chain so...

Not sure on the stats on cart returnable at ALDI but I assume most people return their carts there.

And if you don't, someone else will do it for you on your dime.

Quarter, technically :)

I'm glad we aren't incentivized. It allows for this ultimate litmus to take place. I will literally go shopping with dates to figure this out.

This is a genius idea

Murca has invented these little devices that trick the machine so you don't have to put in a quarter.

They'll do anything to avoid being decent lol

Some US stores use quarters.

It can lead to people freaking out about their quarter though
