This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Don't know about you people, but here in Hungary (Eastern-Europe) I haven't ever seen a cart not returned at least as far as I remember.
A lot of countries use coin operated cart releases, which give you a coin back on return. This is very uncommon in the US. Generally there are just metal "corrals" with guardrails you return a cart to in the parking lot.
The only store that I know of that uses coin returns is Aldi, but that's still regional in the US.
Yeah, every store has those here. Also Aldi is nationwide.
Yeah, both are uncommon here. Aldi is regional in the US. Trader Joe's is generally in the other regions, which is owned by the Aldi nord part of the family.
I don't think the lack of overlap is that intentional, it's just a big nation and Aldi/trader joes just haven't really tried to expand in the areas where the other setup first.
