We had a few stores in NJ try that years ago. I didn't mind when I was prepared with a quarter. When they first did it I didn't have a quarter so they lost b/c I had to use a little hand basket. It ended up not lasting long. I actualy made a few quarters by putting back rougue carts!

Haven't seen it in our Joann's......Florida, Gainesville area....
|
Also would keep my car from getting rammed by a cart that someone didn't return. I'm for it! Been rammed too many times.
|
Not ours, YET

I agree ...sick of parking miles away because of people just leaving thier carts here and there...

I like that idea for a grocery store

We have a grocery store that does that but that's it.

back where you got it to save the money they would have to pay employees to keep them in place. You get the quarter back when you return the cart to its original place so it costs the customer nothing. |
This is not a new thing. In the 70's or 80', quite a few stores tried this as a way to get carts returned (keep them from being stolen), but it didn't go over well and didn't last too long. They must be having a problem if it's being tried again.

In Canada the Superstore requires a loonie ($1.00) to used their carts

Lots of stores around have those. It helps encourage people to return carts because you get your quarter back. Kids love to find unreturned carts and get quarters.
