What if it worked like the carts at Aldi? Put something reasonable like 3-5 bucks on the sale amount, and redeem the same amount when returned.

Yes, that is also how the deposit on a can of soda works.
i pay 25c to leave my cart in the lot
Someone else brings it back and makes 25c. Win-win. That's how any deposit program works.
You paying a nonzero cost for creating a negative externality is an improvement compared to the status quo, in the context of this economic philosophy of discouraging production of negative externalities by aligning economic incentives.
big words for you. I pay for it.
If i do not pay, i always return the cart.
Congrats.
