We've had that in Germany for many years but for the last few years, many supermarkets in my region have stopped using the tokens. Looks like the "training" worked though, as I still never see any unreturned shopping carts on parking lots.

    At the Aldi in my area many of the token mechanism are broken, so the carts are always loose. They get put back by people anyways, which makes me happy.

    I went to an Aldi not realizing they would have this, I do not carry pocket change. Asked clerk to break a bill for change, he just handed me a quarter from the till. I'm like, thanks I'll bring this back I guess, he said he didn't care. Oookay. Still not sure what to do with that free 25¢, invest it maybe.
