This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Flawed. Here, you must insert a coin (or if you have it, a token with the shape of the coin) that will only be returned after you put the cart in the correct place.

I present you mankinds greatest invention:

What, you gonna knock back some brews?

In case you weren't joking:

Look at the bottom part of it. You can insert it into the coin "slot" to unlock the cart and pull it out right after.

No more losing a tiny little plastic chip or searching for the right coin - especially if you prefer to pay without cash.

(Also, I do return my carts.)

on some carts there's a sliding door to insert the coin, and this wouldn't work

I refuse to shop at those places.
