On the mainland we had a few chains with carts that would only come apart with a quarter placed in a slot. Kids (ok, me and my friends) would make enough money fetching far flung carts (and getting the quarters back) to buy all our snacks.
Aldi does that. But then again Aldi is from Germany and all stores there do it that way. I wouldn't mind paying a quarter to rent a cart if it meant lower prices from the store.... though I haven't touched a quarter in a long time.
