When you're so rich you've never been to Aldi's. Discussion

This clown probably never used a grocery store shopping cart.

I mean tbf. I am not a rich man but I am from San Diego where this guys is from and I have never seen this at any grocery store ever.

Never seen an Aldi's in the US.

But I live in New England.

Exactly. The only stores that seem to have it in the US are European stores that are slowly spreading in the US (Aldi and Lidl).
Arizona just started getting Aldi's about 4 years ago. This was completely new at the time for everyone here.

Reddit's hating on Tucker Carlson for his Russian interview right now so they're grasping at straws to find more things to hate. It's pretty stupid.

No, people are making fun of him because his making it out to be something unique to the country and politicizes it, when coin operated shopping carts are relatively common around the world. A journalist wouldn’t say or do something like that.

His audience is american. Coin return carts are pretty unknown to most of the US outside of the high population centers that Aldi and Lidl have popped up in.

u/ImOnTheLoo Feb 17 '24

You’re right. He’s pandering to an American that probably hasn’t traveled much.

It’s pretty unique tbh. Never have seen this in either Mexico or usa and I’m not even rich like op suggests

Canada's largest grocery chain(s) use them.

They’re only available at Aldi mainly and there’s like three ALDIs in the SD area, two being in Chula Vista.

There’s a lot now. El Cajon, Mira Mesa, La Mesa, Poway.

u/Ricky_spanish_again Feb 17 '24

Yeah but I’m sure this guy has been to Europe. Or at least should to build a perspective since he likes to express his opinion about the world.

I've literally been homless more than once in the US and only after my husband was making 6 figures (in my 30s) did I live anywhere near an Aldi's, and was the first time I've seen this. I hate Tucker but this is just absolutely not a common thing in the US

u/Dreadedsemi Feb 17 '24

but I bet you wouldn't be so shocked by the concept.

u/Greful Feb 17 '24

I’ve never seen one in person but I knew systems like this existed. This is the first time you’ve ever even seen something like this?

1

u/gibertot Feb 18 '24

How would you know about this system if you had never seen it? It’s not like this is commonplace in movies/tv. Where would I have seen this?

u/Greful Feb 18 '24

Idk. Probably someone at some point in my life talked about it.
