Maybe it was the type they used, it was so hard to get the
cart out. People would gather around and help each other
get the chains off. It was stupid. At that time there was another
store, a supermarket, that tried that, and it didn't last there, either.

I don't think a quarter is much of an incentive for many people to
clown around with the cart machine. Seems like paradise for a
kid, or maxine! (laugh) When I was a kid you'd find bottles and
cans to return for money. Cleaning up the supermarket parking
lot at a quarter a shot, that's a great idea!
