Cash in on lazy people - never return a shopping cart again

[Stubbers]

One of my pet peeves is lazy people leaving shopping carts abandoned in the parking lots. 144 people have bought these the guys a genius pay $4 for 4 key fob tokens

Never return a shopping cart again!

Aldi, a worldwide grocery chain uses this system. Deposit .25 cents and you get the cart. If you don't return it you loose your quarter. I've shopped there...they system works.

edit: sorry...just read through all the description. So...it's carried around and used in case you don't have a quarter ? Why not just keep a quarter in you vehicle ?

Yeah some cheap bastard will be willing to go and put a few carts away for .25

I'm amazed that people are buying this for $4 when there is no need to spend money, you get it back when you return the cart ... he's sold 140+

Well to be honest, I always have a quarter in my car, either from the coffee I purchased or change from vendors, I don't see the need for this product however It is a interesting product but I think it would be very valuable if they licenses it to the grocery store companies to sell retail to their target audience instead of eBay thus increasing their sales but they would have to get production and manufacturers to get this to make tons in revenue, those quarters add up!

Nothing like helping the lazy get lazier ... pfff

This reminds me of tying a quarter to a string for old arcade machines
