Shopping trolleys and baskets F

Shopping trolleys and baskets are supplied by shops, especially supermarkets, for use by customers inside the shop for transport of merchandise to the check-out counter during shopping. Customers can then also use the cart to transport their purchased goods to their cars. In many places in the United States, customers are allowed to leave the carts in the parking lot, and store personnel will return the carts to the storage area. In many European and Canadian premises, however, coin-operated locking mechanisms are provided to encourage shoppers to return the carts to the correct location after use.
