I frequent our area Aldi store. Its one of those grocery stores where its a help yourself customer service model. The aisles are full of grocery's still in boxes, the top few are opened and customers help themselves to the goods. Then you can use the emptied boxes to pack your groceries instead of boxes.
Their shopping carts work similarly where you insert a quarter to release the locking mechanism and use the cart. When you return and lock your cart the quarter is released.
I however leave my quarter, every time. I like to think it puts a smile on someones face when they find it. Yes, its only a quarter, but its still a nice and good deed, right. I think Karma likes it because once I was without a quarter and low and behold it was in a cart, waiting for me. (It wasn't MY quarter either!)
My kids always want to keep the quarter, but I encourage them to leave it for someone (and then we end up discussing how happy THEY get when they find money on the ground. I know it's not $$ millions $$, but it makes me feel good. Who Doesn't like to Find a Penny? Well here's a quarter.
