We were contacted recently by retiree Bill about buying a trolley for himself and his wife Merelyn. Bill and Merelyn wanted to purchase the trolley to make it easier to cart home their shopping since the local shopping centre is only a few streets away.

It’s quite unusual for individuals to purchase shopping trolleys, so we were pleasantly surprised to learn that Bill and Merelyn wanted to purchase the trolley, rather than the alternative of simply wheeling one home from the local shops. Not only is that theft, but quite often, people who take trolleys from their local Supermarket leave them strewn about the neighbourhood. The end result is an unsightly mess and a potential hazard as unsecured trolleys could roll onto the road creating a traffic risk or into other stationary objects causing property damage.

So to Bill and Merelyn we say good on ya, this trolley is on us!
