This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Flawed. Here, you must insert a coin (or if you have it, a token with the shape of the coin) that will only be returned after you put the cart in the correct place.
So you actually lose something if you don't return the cart.
That doesn't mean the concept is flawed; it just means those businesses were smart enough to put in countermeasures against bad people.
It also means that the people who do leave the shopping cart in places without the deposit are the kind of cheapskates who can be bought for a euro. They're only neutral evil.
True chaotic evil assholes would pay the deposit on several carts only to leave them.
That actually sounds like a hilarious way to spend 10$, especially when Aldi in the states still only requires a quarter
Then sit back and film the people returning the carts for the quarter. Put it on YouTube and profit.
