Up north people like to throw their trollies in rivers

ew no, the shopping carts here are gross (only whenever it was a rule back at first wave for personnel to clean them, they looked a little better but they no longer do that now either those lazy supermarket staff )

Years ago my local pub decided to enter the 'Golden Egg' competition on Noel Edmonds Late Late Breakfast show to see how many people you could get in a Supermarket trolley...so we 'borrowed' a couple in order to practise
We were on telly and competed with two other teams and we won getting 27 people in for 3mins....

I dont know quite what happened to the Trolleys..

If you took it back then no issue but I would hazard 80% don’t

Certain stores in my area don't have them on coin release now Cherie.
Haven't for a fair while.
Asda for instance doesn't.

M&S do but not Asda.

Anyway, it's years ago, 13 years ago when shopping for Mum, I just piled all in the trolley and wheeled it home.
They weren't on coin release then either.

Then we took it back next day.

Although I can see a problem if suddenly everyone marched out with trolleys and didn't take them back definitely.
That would be wrong and more likely ignorant.

Looks like Rust is to blame with her games

The asda I used to work at had to do the same, people were stealing them. I remember them getting 100 new baskets delivered with wheels on and they went missing in a matter of weeks and customers were coming in with them decorate or re painted like they owned them.

And I never thought a supermarket would allow anyone to ?? . Some trolley wheels stop when you start to take them off the grounds .

[hijaxers]

No i never have but some git round here does and leaves them dumped on a regular basis ~ it really annoys me ~ they obv keep going back so why not return the trolley insteead of duming in same place every time !!

[Denver]

They should start arresting people for theft tbh

[Jake.]

nothing worse than seeing an abandoned trolley outside someone’s home because they couldn’t be arsed taking it back (not that they should have taken it in the first place, really)

[bots]

with home delivery, there is just no need to take a trolley home now

Nope cant say I have

I voted no but I think we did at uni once... we lived like two blocks away from Sainsburys and went there in our PJs to stock up for a Halloween party, and brought the trolley back (someone took it back straight away though). Surprised it worked since I thought they had magnetic clamps or w/e.
