In this age of shorter working hours, more holidays and possessing more and more labour saving devices and products, are we really too busy to place a pound coin in a supermarket trolley?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I noticed this this morning - it was more of a waste of time for shoppers who'd allbled about for their £1s, euros or tokens before realising that we didn't need them any more. I only hope they'll as as elsewhere and actually lock the trolley stores when they close at 10pm - otherwise this is just a recipe for more trolleys in the river (ours aren't clever enough to know when they are going off site). I really don't think this is going to save any shoppers much time, many people will just dump their trolley on the car park now instead of taking it back.
People are inclined to dump them if there is no nearby place to leave them. That is a trolley management issue. It should be the responsibility of the company to manage their trolleys anyway, not expect the shopper to act as unpaid employee putting them back.
The cost of freezing wheels may be extra on the top of the initial purchase price, but is insignificant over the life of a trolley: and if it isn't cheaper than losing or retrieving the odd one, then write the lost trolley cost off as a business expense.
If folk get annoyed at not being able to take them off the grounds/car park then one has to wonder how they realised it, and why they were trying to take them in the first place.
Yes is is too much trouble to have to find a coin and use it to get a trolley. Which is why one shops elsewhere where the customer is valued rather than considered no more value than a resource to solve the shop's problems.

The staff can't have their eyes all over the car park every minute of the day looking for abandoned trolleys.
Haven't you ever come back to your car and found that someone has irresponsibly left their trolley up against your car necessitating you to wheel it away so that you can get in your car?
