Plastic corners on shopping carts – this feature is likely to surprise Kaufland customers. They are intended to protect against noise pollution when returning items.
The plastic parts on the corners, which are sometimes also attached to the lower area, are meant to weaken this metal-to-metal impact and thus not cause a rattle in every single car that is returned. Some people who live near an Aldi, Lidl or Kauflands may have already thought about taking their shopping home for a short while.
