What do you do with your trolley after a shop

Just a bit of fun, I think.


A test which claims to definitively determine whether someone is a good or bad person has gone viral online.

The ‘shopping trolley theory’ says that whether someone returns their shopping trolley when there is no punishment or reward shows whether they have the ability to ‘self-govern.’

“A person who is unable to do this is no better than an animal, an absolute savage who can only be made to do what is right by threatening them with law and the force that stands behind it,” it says.


Pushing it in a straight line a real challenge.

Re: What do you do with your trolley after a shop

I have been known to take my trolly home, if there is to much shopping.
Always ask for permission first.
I always return it though.

I return it to its proper place, take out my wee coin token, wipe it down, make sure its all lined up properly, then leave it.

Never use a supermarket trolley - that nice Mr Sainsbury delivers - or - I take my own.

Some people have this all sorted, as Michael McIntyre demonstrates 1 minute 50 seconds in:

Return it to get the Pound back. I have thought about going out of my way to throw it into the nearest ditch, pond or river (a popular thing to do) but this seems like too much trouble to me.

Never use a trolley, always use a basket which I leave on the counter at the self service checkout; actually the girl usually whips it away before I have finished paying as she waits to disinfect the terminal.

If there is a canal closer than the trolley parking area that's where it goes in Brum

Re: What do you do with your trolley after a shop

I always put mine in one of the trolley shelters. I think l would feel guilty if l didn’t!
We don’t have to put a coin in trolleys at all.


Don’t you just hate those trolleys with a wonky, or noisy wheel!

I find it easier to pull them,they are impossible to push when full.
