There were no carts at one location

One Reddit user recently posted that their issue wasn’t with the coin return on the carts but that there weren’t any carts at all. The user, michaelrxs, says they were shopping at the Brooklyn, New York, location and had noticed over the course of the past few months that carts had been hard to come by. Michaelrxs goes on to say that while the lack of carts was annoying, Aldi initially had provided hand baskets, something that’s not common across many U.S. locations. But those seemed to be quickly phased out at this Brooklyn location, per michaelrxs. This year, michaelrxs noticed both the carts and the baskets were gone altogether. When asked about the absence of baskets and carts, an Aldi employee couldn’t provide any answers.
Some commenters on the post noted that it’s possible that the carts are being stolen, while others, such as AreYouABadFishToo_, suggested an alternative solution saying, “I suppose you could bring one of those wheelie baskets I see people dragging around.” Others also noted a shortage of carts at their locations, too.
