Why are shopping carts always broken?

I mean Aldi stores across the US have this system and they seem to be expanding not folding, I'm not sure you can pin this store issues to that specific point.

Plus once it's a generalized system and all carts require coins, it's not like you have the choice anymore.

I think it’s a great system.

Reminds of a big festival I went to in Germany. Beers were 5 euro and came in a sturdy plastic mug. Bring the mug back and get a euro back. 5 mugs and a free beer. I’ve never seen a place so clean after such a large party.

And Aldi cashiers will lend you a quarter if you don't have one.
