None of the others in town have these, thought it was unusual enough to share

If places where I am in the UK don't have this, they have a coin return on them.
25¢ for a shopping cart is a pretty good deal if you think about it
And if they are like the US Aldi locations, the coin is in the cart. So you even get to take the money with you.
they can't even charge you with theft because you still technically paid for it
(at least in poland) people usually just leave their coins in the carts, I've never had to put my own coin in there
Just more proof of how stingy we are here in England. But if I worked at a supermarket and people did this, I'd just put away the carts and pocket the cash everyday.
If they don't, they'll be fishing them out of the canal.
Still see them in back streets all the time
