Every single shopping cart I've seen requires you to insert a coin to be unlocked, which you get back when you return it. Do other countries not have that?

[–] hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago

Nah, they are too expensive to upkeep in the US. Grocery stores from Europe like Aldi keep trying the cart locks but we're very resistant to them and will do basically anything but put the coin in including break them.

Only store I've seen that with here in the US was an Aldi's. Literally every other chain I've been to just has the shopping carts out and about.

It's much more uncommon in the US.

We stopped doing it in Norway many years ago when society moved to debit cards. I would have assumed most of Western Europe to have made the change by now?

Are you saying that the shopping carts have card readers in Norway?

No, they simply removed the locks as nobody got got coins anymore
