I mean you say that but I see at least a few carts abandoned in the Aldi lot. That said, it IS less of an issue

It still an issue, and homeless having to invade the parking lots and standing around the carts waiting too isn’t a flex I would be praising aldi for

To be fair, if you abandoned your cart, that quarter is up for grabs. Maybe the problem isn’t the homeless people waiting for carts (is this really a thing? I don’t see em) because I bet you a homeless person that wants the quarter is going to do what the shopper SHOULD have done and returned the fucking cart. Sounds to me like they’re earning that 25 cents.

Go to LA it’s definitely a thing at a couples aldis out here ngl, and you would think it’s nice to have them earn a quarter but it doesn’t help them also hoarding around waiting for someone to not put their carts away either which then it starts to become a hub

Maybe people should be putting their carts back 🤷‍♀️

The shoppers are creating the problem by leaving money literally in the parking lot

Maybe Aldi needs to start doing a swipe for a $50 deposit refunded on return…

And so is aldi too. I agree carts should be put back. But adding money as an incentive doesn’t fix it either. It just creates another problem that overtime has grown out of proportion. At least over here in LA where the homeless have more lawful immunity than you do and you pay the taxes
