Can someone explain how to use these shopping carts?

>>16867026
Were do you even go to buy a 25 cent coin anymore? I don't think I've seen a coin in the last decade.

>>16867036
Why?

>>16867036
Bring a crow bar.

>>16867042
I don't think Asians know that we have non electronic money. They always have bank cards, their own bags and no cart.

>>16867036

>>16867055
You stupid fuck.

Every fucking asian has at least $200-$1000 in cash on their body at all times. They just use the card because it's more convenient and they don't want you to know they're carrying fuckloads of cash on them.

>>16867055
>this mong has never been to an asian grocer and discovered that they don't accept anything that isn't hard currency.

I have seriously NOT stopped at Aldi more than I have stopped simply because I didn't have a quarter.

>>16867142
Why don't you have loose change in your car?

>>16867026
>living in a country where they lock carts so hobos and joggers don't try to steal them

Is it worth 25 cents to leave your cart in the middle of the parking lot?

>>16867261
In America they pay people to take them back. It's not worth going to a place without that service.

>>16867274
Who are they paying to take them back?

>>16867274
>In America they pay people to take them back.
Not at Aldi.

>>16867286
Employees.

>>16867296
That's why it isn't worth going to.

>>16867286
what do you mean who? whoever they hire

>>16867046
If you're asking for real, the answer is that they found making customers pay $0.25 for a cart (which they get back at the end of the trip) made people less likely to steal carts and also eliminated the need to hire cart wranglers. This means lower operational costs for Aldi (most stores have 2-3 people working), which means lower prices.

>>16867306
I've never seen a cart person at my local aldis. So who's taking the carts back?

>>16867313
They're trained to come back on their own.

>>16867308
There prices are "low" cuz most of the stuff is about to expire

>>16867315
Wow. Who trains them?

>>16867304
>That's why it isn't worth going to.
Your people came to this country and made it awful.

>>16867323
I don't know man, I'm not a marine biologist.

>>16867318
>about to expire

*aged to perfection.

I love my chunky Aldi milk; most stores only have smooth. Aldi also routinely sells "high meat", which most supermarkets refuse to stock due to draconian health-code rules. The outrushing of green gas from opening an Aldi freezer door is usually enough to get me fucked up for hours, and that's a value-added proposition that dumpster behind Olive Garden just can't compete with. Those Germans crunk, y'all.

You're no good at interpolating information from communicated messages.

We're the Safeway social-media equivalent of Seal Team 6.

imom? is that like virtual hugs?

>>16867326
(((Jisha Joseph)))

25 cents is worth nothing to me and I happily leave the cart in the parking lot anyway

>>16867313

They dissolve in the rain, like a giant Berocca.

>>16867412
I take the cart with me, I paid for it after all

>>16867326
It's the way carts have always worked. You leave them to the side and an employee collects them. You're making up imaginary rules because you need them to feel in control.

>>16867193
Well, Aldi is from Germany. So....yes.

>>16867517
No sweety. You are a knuckle dragging low class savage and it shows with that kind of behavior but it's not like anyone notices at Walmart.

>>16867158
Because negros will break my window to steal it. And maybe I have 25 cents, but it's all in nickels. Can't jam a bunch of nickels in a cart. Really though, if I want to go to aldi I just snatch a cart that's laying around in the store. But usually I'm of a mind that I'd rather starve than play stupid euro games with shopping carts.

>>16867565
A publicity photo proves nothing. Before carts you would walk in and say what you want, and they got it all for you and carried it out for you. You think they went directly from that to the shopper being happy to not only do their own collection and bring it out to their cars, but to then return after they've got everything they need? You have been trained to expect less service and are no true American.

>>16867615
>I'd rather starve than play stupid euro games
I don't want to alarm you but you should probably bring your own shopping bag too.

>>16867622
>put up change as collateral for a cart so negros don't steal them
>no, I don't keep change because negros will steal it
Looks like a real mexican standoff here, boys. Wonder how it's gonna go down. High noon? 100 paces? Nah, fuck it. I'll just go to Publix.

>big grocery
First off, adding ‘big’ to an industry to imply it’s a mafia-like racket is peak midwittery
Second, Aldi is a multinational conglomerate and is the biggest grocery chain in mainland Europe.

The constant focus on your goals, and the burning desire to win, together with the glorious uncertaintiy and adrenaline that comes from having a go, are the true joys of life.

Not sitting on your butt knocking others, while the rolling a fat cigarette and waiting for the next handout.

Bitching that the world will not dedicate itself to making you happy. Success in life for some is how much money you have. Well I don’t subscribe to that. I know plenty of sad sacks that could buy and sell me with the blink of an eyelid. The only time money meant something to me and Lynn was when we had none. I’ll never forget the time the bank wanted my house. My success is spending my life the way I want to spend it. And that surely is the true meaning of life. I believe that we should not be a servant to anyone’s authority, no matter what walk of life we’re from. If life’s not good enough, change it! Get out and have a go. The worst that can happen is that you fall over. So what! Get up and go and again. Yibbida yibbida is death, and that’s the end of everything, in my mind anyway.

>>16867621
No, Americans historically brought the carts back because they instinctively knew it was their duty to do so after taking one to use. People used to have a stronger sense of virtue and did little things like that because they believed it was morally good and kept society feeling more proper. The “fuck you not my problem” mentality didn’t exist until the 1960s, when boomers decided to relentlessly take advantage of all the societal gifts that they took for granted. Unaware that the reason they could be such little shits who put no effort into social maintenance is because the older generations were willing to pick up the slack and do it for them. Once those older generations died off, there was no one left to clean up after the “not my problem” types.

Do you think people used to wear 3-piece suits and a hat every day because their jobs required it? They did it because they believed if they put effort into being presentable and respectable, then it would influence others into doing the same. And this peer pressure would contribute to keeping society civil and safe. People actually used to give a shit, if you weren’t aware.

you meant to say niggers and jews

I noticed a recent flaring of this mindset. I'm 21, I could have stayed home and lived comfortable off welfare for a long time. But I didn't want to. I applied for a warehouse job that offered more than enough to live on 200 miles from home, filled a backpack and got a bus ticket.
It's been a month and I'm more alive now than I've ever been. Granted I am lucky I had a friend who was better off than I am who happened to live in the area and happened to not mind losing her couch for a month or two

>>16868220
In fact the more I think about the past month, the more I realise how much has been possible due to nothing but sheer luck.

>>16868220
I think it’s because the current generation is the most mollycoddled in history. They never progressed beyond the “authority figure will take care of it” mindset that little kids have. This combined with western society having all concept of spirituality beaten out of them because it is “obsolete superstition” has led to most younger people expecting society to take care of their material wants/needs the same way their parents did and being unable to find happiness in anything other than material possessions.

>>16867026
>mention Aldi carts
>fatm*ricans take it personally
Every goddamn time. Just put your fucking cart back. It's not that hard.

>>16868220
just watch out for the thugs in the scallop industry they'll slow down your progress to being recognised by dutch tourists in Cambridge coffee shops

Who convinced you of this nonsense? LOL. Being an American citizen is about being served well, because if a business doesn't serve you your money can be taken elsewhere. That is capitalism.

>>16868325
People who actually grew up in that time, diddles. America is not about ‘being served’, it’s about being self-sufficient and not having to rely on an authority to do everything for you. Don’t confuse philosophy with economics.
>conveniently skims over the entire sociological part of my comment that explains my point
Typical

>>16867042
You're the guy who pays for a $1 coffee at the gas station with a card, aren't you?

>>16867412
I just give it to someone who is entering the store

>>16868339
Yes, I ignored the irrelevant fluff. You really don't belong in America. You seem to be pining for an idealized Communism.

>>16868382
I understand America better than you, sunshine. At no point did Thomas Jefferson say “fuck society n shieet, leave your trash where it falls”. Tidiness is next to godliness, there’s a reason why leftists worship filth and selfishness.

I hate everything about Aldi.
>same shitty parking lots as trader joes but driven in by their walmart-tier customers
>carts and bags system worse than the stores in the ghetto neighborhood i worked to get out of
>shit produce and meats
>generic snacks with zero consistent stock
>always in a location that was never designed to be a grocery store
Garbage food for garbage people who can't cook.

>>16867193
It is more of an incentive to put the carts back.

>>16868394
What an absolute cuck.

>be a "good citizen"
>wrangle your cart after your done
>cart monkey loses his job
>unemployed cart monkey goes on welfare, turns to drugs and anime
Be a job creator anons, leave your cart where it is.

>>16870184
Yeah, think of all the automotive body shops you'd put out of business if you didn't leave your cart in the middle of the parking lot!

>>16867042
you can get a special token just for the cart

>>16870536
Will Chuck E Cheese tokens work?

>>16867193
>Not trying to protect your carts from hobos and joggers.
Pathetic.

>>16867313
If you want an honest question, people who want a free quarter. I never buy enough stuff to warrant a cart at Aldi, and if I'm already walking by one that's just sitting free I take it with me and get the quarter as I walk by the entrance. I'm already going that way anyway and hey free quarters.

>>16867326
This is unironically true, theres a reason why the number of shops with coin-access shopping carts increases in areas that are poorer (and by extension, more "diverse"). In the UK, Waitrose does not require you to insert money to access a trolley because it trusts it's customers to not steal the trolleys, Aldi do not trust their customers and so have coin slots required to use shopping carts.

>>16867026
Is this the famous "Wow!" salami?

>restaraunt employs teenagers to do basic things like clean restrooms, bus tables etc.
>shit all over the bathroom floor since it's more convenient for me
>dump plates on floor when I'm finished, need the extra room to rest my elbows
>I'm not an asshole because people are paid to clean up after me
