this has been done in Europe for decades...it works...here we have Aldi's, it is an Americanized German store..they have the buggy fee and it really works, NO buggies left anywhere..but then again, their clientele is mainly elderly so they have manners anyway! I wish the big box stores would ALL do this...

Just like the Walmart parking lots. No place to park with carts left everywhere. I wish they would have this system. Now everyone is going to be mad at me for even suggesting this.

I don't remember pay toilets, but I do remember a store in Houston about 20 years ago that had the 25 cent carts, and when you returned it you got your quarter back. I haven't thought of that in years! The store was called Auchan.
