Yes it is.

The Bigg's stores in my neighborhood require a quarter to unchain a cart.
You get the quarter back when you return the cart to the cart return and
insert the chain with a tab into the coin box on the cart. Your quarter is
returned.

That's one reason I never go there. I live near the Eastgate Biggs in
Cincinnati. That store really sucks, and with Meijer just across the street
I don't bother with Biggs and their pay-to-get-a-cart scheme. Now, if I was
near the Mason Biggs store, I might consider shopping there. When the
Forestfair store was new and I lived in Fairfield, I when there, but not
that store looks really tired.
