Roaming Shopping Trolleys ?

[LochNessMonster]

Why can't some people leave shopping trolleys in the supermarket ? See someone walk with one 2 mile from the store yesterday. It had 3 bags in it and the wheel had locked when they had left the store.

They only cost a £1

Trolleys only cost a pound. Two sturdy bags from a supermarket will equate to £1.20 or more. And you can just abandon a trolley wherever you like - peoples gardens, in the middle of the road, in the lakes. The next people to find the trolley get it for free, and can race each other. Also (as one neighbour ACTUALLY said a while ago) - 'cheaper than pushchair'.

Grrrr. It winds me up. No doubt large chains get massive discounts, but a normal big trolley can cost around £92! (http://www.shopequip.co.uk/default.asp?cat=55&rng=162)

And customers wonder why supermarkets have to increase their prices of food, etc?

factor, I was thinking along the same lines, as you can see! Blah, you got there first!

I was looking at fire pits in B&Q yesterday. I could save a fortune by upturning a trolley in my garden instead. Good shout Lochness.

Actually they don't cost you £1 if you get caught, you could also end up with a criminal record for theft and be unable to get a job when it shows on CRB.

He Tony, a tip: you dont need to remove the key on all of them, just one!! I think they are all the same!!

Oh no, that wont work, you will need to put the £1 back in to get your key out, dammit!!!
