That's one of the things Aldi brought with them when they came over to the US. I've always thought it was a pretty cool idea, though as inflation keeps going the 25-cent lock-in becomes less and less of a motivator. Maybe a good reminder, though.

With how rarely I use cash I need my quarter back so I can use it to get a cart next time.
