In Spain you have to use a coin to detach a cart from the others.
Well, I have a homemade metal thingy than can release the cart without a coin AND I can pull the thing right back out so I don't even have to leave it in the coin slot.
When I'm done I still leave the cart in the return area and attach it to the others. I don't even leave it unattached for the next person, because some pieces of shit already leave carts around the parking lot somehow.
I'm a petty motherfucker and I wish the worst to those assholes.
Doesn’t work in America because the largest coin is a quarter (i.e. 25 cents), likely not enough to deter theft (or even laziness).
So instead, many supermarkets installed a system that locks up the carts’ wheels if they’re taken off the property, which makes them extremely difficult to push. Unfortunately, that also doesn’t help with laziness, so we still need memes like this.
We have that too on a chain called "Mercadona", lol
