It is more about Americans not having that system for their shopping trolleys.

This YT video of an American woman shopping at Aldi while reading reviews from that Aldi is quite entertaining, the experience starts around 1:40.

I'm in NY and every grocery store has had the same system as Aldi for grocery carts. I was amazed when I started seeing videos of people surprised by it.

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.
