A Missouri woman named Ray shared a story on TikTok about a shopping trip to Aldi that did not go the way she expected. According to Ray, she tried to do something kind for an elderly woman at the store, but the woman’s response left her speechless. Ray posted the video to her TikTok account, @heyyyyitsray, where she recounted the experience while sitting in her car.
Ray explained in the video that when she picked up her cart at Aldi, she noticed there was already a quarter inside it. At Aldi locations, shoppers are required to insert a quarter to unlock a cart, and they get the quarter back when they return it.
