My absolute pet hate is shopping trolleys being abandoned on the edge of the trolley park left half in half out, I can't leave them so push them neatly together, I'm considering ask the supermarket for a job ! Am I alone or do others hate the same or similar.?

I thought the trolleys in rivers/canals would stop once you need a pound coin to get at them?

The boundary brake thing is just guff ! They are not sophisticated machines, just trolleys.grin

It works, though. It must be a low voltage wire laid underground which applies a brake to the wheels, or some such thing.

I am a shelf tidier at my local Waitrose but the manager takes over when ever he sees me doing it, saying through gritted teeth that he will do it instead.

We do not have to put coins in the trolleys, they are free so are dumped anywhere after use.
