Free trolley at Aldi.

three rows of trolleys, shopping carts, outside an Aldi. There is a mural on the wall with a blue background and citrus fruits on it. And a sign on the other wall that says quarter in quarter back.

“A small act but I appreciate it as a person living on Social Security. Aldi’s the grocery store charges $.25 for the use of their carts.. as I was walking toward the cart row a lady came up to me & said do you need a cart? as she was rolling hers from her car. I said yes I do & tried to give her a quarter. She said no thank you, you have a nice day.

I smiled & thanked her. When I was done with it, I passed it on to the next person coming towards the store.”

We always say that no kindness is too small to celebrate here and this is a great example of that!
