Grocery Carts

by Cindy

At one of the big stores here, Carrefour, we pay to use the grocery cart. It seems absurd to some people but I think it is a pretty good system. I put in a dirham (basically a quarter) and the grocery cart "frees itself" from the other carts. When I am finished, I attach the cart to another cart and my coin will be released. I get 100% of my money back and it forces shoppers (who want their money back) to put the carts together. We don't have the issue of carts all over the parking lot like you find in America.
