Also, don’t know how carts that activate a brake work with no identifiable electronics. Once I was parked towards back of the lot and it switched off a few feet from the car. I picked it up and carried it back. That doesn’t do anything to condition the civility of returning carts. More anti theft.
Like everything in Russia they didn't invent it. In The Netherlands the coin locks for carts were introduced in 1985.
I'm not sure if we were the first though, probably us, the Brits or the Germans.
Also Tucker is literally on the Dril budget for groceries.
