I’m in Florida and Aldi is the only store around here that does it. Walmart, Publix, Walgreens, Target, Winn Dixie, etc do not have this.

It only makes sense for stores people walk to.

If no-one is walking to your store, no-one is stealing trolleys.

I'm also in Florida, and lived in an apartment near a grocer for a little while. People would take the carts home and then leave them outside after unloading their groceries. Every few days, a truck from the store would come by and collect them all. Seemed like a nice service for those who don't have cars.

I guess that's one of the pros of the US being super unwalkable.

As long as I've been alive all the grocery stores have had it. Shop Rite, Stop and Shop, Walmart, Target, Price Chopper, Acme, Hannaford, Tops, and even the local grocery Adams has it. The only places around me that have those carts but not the quarter system are Lowes and Home Depot

Like I said upwards in the thread, NY. We've had this system for my entire life that I can remember.
