Aldi does it for a quarter and it works pretty well to get people to return them.

Because these physical quarters are way more valuable than $0.25. Where are you getting a new one from if you always pay by card?

    By hanging around in an Aldi parking lot and offering to return the shopping carts for people.

    I'm a smartass that has a little metal paddle which can poke the coin slot and release the cart, but doesn't get retained by the slot.
