In Germany most supermarkets have coin-operated locks on their carts.

Aldi in the US is one of the few grocery stores to do this, Aldi of course originating from Germany. The effectiveness of this approach does seem rather good. I know some airports before would offer a minor monetary compensation when returning luggage carts for the same reason.

A yes! Abrecht Diskont! One of the few international successes we had! And then there's Lidl, of course!

In Germany most supermarkets have coin-operated locks on their carts. You only can take a cart, after you unlocked a chain that ties it to the next cart in the return spot. When you're done shopping, you bring the cart back, connect it via chain to the next cart and get your coin (or chip as in the picture) back from the lock.

That's how it's done in civilized countries. In Poland i never saw carts thrown in weird places. Even when some people are not locking cars with chains, people would always bring cars back, it's unthinkable to leave it somewhere else. I'm not surprised at all that savages from richest third world country, USA, don't understand that.

This is the norm in Italy too. There are markets with loose carts and baskets but common sense makes people handle them as if they were locked. Now and again there are asswipes who steal them to play around but, if caught by store employees, they get an earful.

To be fair, we don't know that the brick isn't for the other trainer.

Well, can't command your Pokémon if you're in a coma.

She may be out of Pokémon, but she's not out of options.

wow

I don't know why, but despite Yi Xi still being mostly based visually around Butcher Vanity, she feels so different here.
