# The last time I was in a (US) Aldi, it seemed like German Trader...

The last time I was in a (US) Aldi, it seemed like German Trader Joe's.  I like how they incentivize customer's to return shopping carts (charge a quarter that they get back upon return), and I wonder why it hasn't caught on with other retailers.
