There’s a store chain, Costco or Aldi’s maybe? In America here that dies this but it’s only a quarter. Which is next to nothing. For reference, a load of laundry is between $1-2 in just a normal machine, plus dry time, (so 4-8 quarters). So just to wash and dry a single load of laundry for me, for example, is 12 quarters, $1.50 each of l for washing and drying.
So that cart deposit thing could use some improvement. Regardless I’ve never shopped at that store, but I do just return my cart like a civilized person.
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.
This is how it works in all of Europe

Yes, me too. This only seems to be a problem across the pond.
