@packrat said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:
So regarding shopping carts, does the USA not have the thing where the carts have a chain and lock to each other, meaning you can only remove one from the stack by putting in a coin, that is then released when the cart is returned and chained back up again?
Here leaving a cart (or shopping trolley to use local parlance) rolling around the car park means you are leaving a £1 coin in it and so people rarely do such things.
Aldi is the only place I know of that does this. It costs much less though-- 25 cents, which works out to about 18p-- probably because most Americans hate the $1 coins and refuse to use them.
