I've never seen it anywhere. I have heard of it, but in the two regions I've lived (Northeast and Midwest), never seen it.

I wonder why it hasn't taken off. My son used to work at Walmart after school making around $15/hour to do little more than round up carts in the parking lot and bring them back into the building. Considering how cost conscious Walmart is, I'm surprised.

However, Aldi is putting up a building across the street from my local Walmart, so we'll see what happens :-)

I saw this happen back in 1995. Back then people would leave carts just about anywhere in the parking lot. Then they introduced the concept of the quarter and having to return the cart to the stand. Soon enough it became a habit. And the practice continues till this day.
