As it says.

[thesheriff443]

No but I have taken a check out girl home.

[Cherie]

No its the height of ignorance

[joeysteele]

Yes, years ago however.
You were permitted to then where I was.
I took it back next time I was going.

Never since I passed my driving test however.

When I moved house I borrowed one - my grandparents don't drive so the house they "sold" me doesn't have a driveway, they turned all of the space into garden. I borrowed a trolley to help get my stuff from the vehicle to the door.

Only tramps steal trolleys

[Alf]

Leading up to bonfire night, we used to go bonfire Wood collecting. So we always used to pinch a trolly from the supermarket at the top of Street to transport our wood in.

We used to start collecting in Semptember, build a den with what we'd collected then burn it on bonfire night.

Great days!

[smudgie]

Yes.
Our local supermarket used to let us, they knew we would fill them up more if we didn’t have to carry the shopping home.
Always took them back as soon as it was emptied.

Yes, that was why I used to.

It was also an obviously massive help to some older shoppers too, who lived nearby to save them carrying bags home.
Especially carrying milk and things like potatoes etc:

They made a right racket when they was pushed on the pavement.

[Niamh.]

No

[Cherie]

They sell shopping bags on wheels for a reason, never in my life seen an elderly person pushing a supermarket shopping trolley home

Given you had permission and returned it straight away I will let you off Smudge

[Black Dagger]

I used to live over the road from Morrisons... well it was Safe way growing up and the days where before we had the car we did cross over to unload the bags before putting it back.

[Calderyon]

No, I have not.

[Daniel-X]

No, but when we did an online shop earlier this year at uni the Iceland delivery man just drove off and left us with one.

[Crimson Dynamo]

no but i do look at some elderly people walking with full bags and think surely we as a society can address this issue?

Stop and offer a lift?

Reminds me of the time this older woman waved me down and asked where the bus stop for such and such was and as I had no clue I told her to hop in and I took her to her destination, ah pre Covid good times

[Cherie]

Tesco in my area has tags on the hand baskets as people taking them became such an issue

Well you haven't lived where I do.
I have seen it often.

Sometimes people go to a store and buy things they didn't expect to.
The shopping trolley saved them carrying heavier bags than they expected to.

Not everyone may have shopping bags on wheels.
Great for those who have admittedly.

Anyway, I don't think I was in any way ignorant when I brought them home with loads of stuff in them.
As I said, where I lived at the time, the store didn't object.

[GoldHeart]

Just no

Sadly the reason trolleys are now coin release and some stores baskets are tagged is down to non return so the majority are ignorant in my view

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