Our Aldi has a brand new fleet of trolleys

Super smooth and full control on cornering...

Do they have that new car(t) smell?
Our local Asda has recently reinstated all the £1 locks again. I guess trolley theft has been increasing.
- The £1 lock is just to get people to put the trolleys back, not really a theft deterrent
  
  Put the trolleys back; i.e. not steal them
Touch the shiny
Phwoar!
Just out of curiosity: Which trolley parking space is more dirty and f* up over there? Lidl's or Aldi's? Here in Germany I would guess it's Lidl's almost every time, and regular cleaning at almost every Aldi.
- In my experience in my specific part of England that holds true - Aldi definitely seems a lot cleaner
Apparently Aldi doesn’t do the thing there where they make you insert a 25c deposit?
- Yeah they do,( look for the "key" chains in the pic), it's a pound coin but you can get pound size tokens on Amazon
  
  Sometimes, when I'm not in a rush I go full chaotic good and use my trolley key to release a load of them. I like to pay back from the times in the past when I didn't have a coin handy.
  
  Ah, I see now. Ha, that much? I guess the US is lucky the the highest denomination coin in common use is the quarter.
  
  Here in the US they give you the cart behind the till and you leave yours for the next person, so how does it work with tokens, are you like "no I gotta keep this cart, we bonded"?
