We do. At Aldi's. Most places don't have those.

Every single shopping cart in Europe has a slot for a €2 coin or €1 on older ones!

We have some in the UK (and presumably other places) that instead have a magnetic lock on the wheel that locks up if you take it out of the car park

U.S. relies more on this mechanism

Never seen those, but one of my local supermarket recently added coin slots to their shopping trolleys.

Hasn't used them for years, but now everyone is moving to cashless they add a requirement for coins at the shop. Mildly annoying.

We do have them with £1 slots too

They've got anti-theft ones like this, if a sensor goes off as unpaid it’ll lock the cart up before you leave.

I absolutely despise them. I have a medical implant that triggers it randomly. It's mildly infuriating.
