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.

In Germany, shopping carts typically have a deposit system, where you have to insert an Euro into the cart to use it, which you get back when you return it. So that is basically a build in fine for not returning it.
This is how it works in all of Europe
The past year or two I've found several stores where they are abandoning it. I presume because people carrying cash, especially coins, is becoming rarer and they don't want to inconvenience their customers?
Strangely enough, carts still get returned even at these stores.
Yes, me too. This only seems to be a problem across the pond.
