In most places in the US it's totally not a thing, except at Aldi's.

And even then, some don't care about the quarter.

I heard from a guy living near DC, that a normal (i guess one pound?) bag of low quality ground coffee costs 20$. At this rate you have to have the cards take Benjamins to force people to return them.

Blessings upon the tweaker at our Aldi

I don't care about the quarter, but in a different way. If I see someone getting out of their car, I say "You need a cart?"

Shit, I'd rather give it to them, than walk across the parking lot. Now if I don't see anyone, THEN I'll take it back. But I'd rather just give the cart to someone who needs it anyways. Screw the quarter! Oh no! I'm missing out on......30 seconds of earned income!!!
