busybeeburns Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Anyway, the reason for the hypermarkets to do this is so that people will return the trolleys back at its place and not just leave it at random places..£1 is actually a cheap price to pay for one's own trolley.. I've seen people wheel them down the street full of shopping all the way home and then store it (presumably permanently) until each subsequent big shop.. oh the joys of Trafford Metropolitan Borough!

Of course I'm aware of this.. That is why I said that it is to prevent peope from leaving it at random places, but surely it can't stop people from taking the trolleys home.

Empily Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I think the wheels lock if you take the trolley past a certain point of the supermarket car park :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumbersGirl Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 The word "trolley" is so adorable. Much cuter than "shopping cart". Of course if I tried to use that word over here, nobody would have a clue what I was talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
