DS was so fascinated with that the first time we went he had this little old lady just tickled with his reaction. She even gave him a quarter. I guess it pays to be cute.You get your quarter back though! When you return the cart. And if you don't have a quarter you can ask the clerk and they'll give you one. They only do it to get people to return the carts themselves so they don't have to make employees fetch the carts, and to incentivize customers to not leave the carts rolling around the parking lot.
There is a connection.........sort of. The parent companies of each were founded by the 2 sons of the original Aldi who argued and split into separate entities and went their own way, but there is no financial or managerial connection otherwise.I think, but not positive, that there is a relationship between Trader Joes and Aldi's.... not certain, but I think I read that some where..
No Aldi's near me... but Trader Joes is my go to... and the local Market Basket Chain..

"The chains are kind of like estranged cousins. Step-brothers? In-laws? We don’t know! But it doesn’t matter because the stores are run entirely independently with no joint ownership." After reading that article; that does about sum it up!
