Just saw some commercial about some sleep medication. They had the words "sleep" and "wake" walking around like a cat and dog. It was bizarrely terrifying.

You get it back when you put the cart back, I think it's supposed to be a method of preventing shopping cart thefts. I guess they assume the type of people who steal carts wouldn't be able to part with 25cents...

Haha when I was a little kid those bags used to give me all kinds of trouble. I'd open them way too wide and spilled everywhere (never cried over it though). Now I always the buy the jugs.
Any other complaints about Canadiana so far?

Don't you have that system in the US? Finally I get to know why all the bums in America are pushing a shopping cart around town.

Since last decade alone, many cities in at least L.A. County have been fining people for stolen grocery carts, to the point very many grocers have been buying and using anti-theft cart systems.

As pointed out previously, a quarter to unchain a cart isn't going to prevent me from stealing it (if I really wanted to). Why not just use the perimeter thing that disables the cart when you leave the parking lot? Seems more intelligent in preventing theft. This other system is just irritating.

They should have an invisible fence that electrifies the cart if you try to take it off the property.
It would be too expensive to do some ''high tech'' protection. A quarter at least makes sure that not completely ANYONE will steal the cart. It keeps away some, but of course if someone really wants it, he will get it.
Anyway i`m pretty sure shopping carts are not that expensive for big chains who buy them in bunches It`s just 4 wheels, some pieces of metal and a bit of rubber. They will not spend more on security system for them than the actual cart money.

I did carts for super target as my first job. I think this system is more for keeping the carts In the parking lot more than anything. I'd have to go clear across this huge shopping center to find the carts sometimes.

We will get our ***** kicked tomorrow against France but i am just happy we can fight for a place in Rio in the Eurobasket. Since some of the games were also happening here in Riga, i went to a game too - Latvia vs Lithuania, it was really nice although we lost a game but we shouldn`t have, idk what happened to the team.
I see that you will play vs Lithuania in next game
I will not watch but historically i have cheered for Lithuanians when we are not playing (i really don`t follow basketball much)- Status
