Yeah. For a lot of people a quarter is nothing and worth tossing for the convenience of not being a decent person.

Yeah for me the real value here is where the hell am I going to get another quarter. I use my phone to pay and don’t carry cash.

Whenever I go to Aldi (US) there's usually at least a couple carts with quarters left in the parking lot so I just put them back. The quarters pile up in my car until I eventually bring them inside.

Fine, they can subsidize the cart retrieval employee cost.

Also I discussed this with someone in the UK once and they pay an entire pound for a cart… we do quarters because it’s the largest denomination common coin in the US.
