...my roommates and I comment on the security warning on the shopping carts. Apparently, if you were decide to take your shopping cart home with you and all of your wonderful purchases, at some designated point the wheels will lock and the cart will not longer move. An ingenious idea if I do say so myself. But we always wonder if it really happens or if the warning is an empty threat meant to intimidate shoppers from walking off with their carts. Is there an invisible marker or fence (like the kind used for dogs) that sends a signal to the carts to lock? If so, where is it? If I parked my car at the other end of the shopping complex would I be able to cart my groceries there? Does this theft prevention system work by location or distance?
My roommates and I agree that we would love for someone to test this warning by running full speed with a shopping cart away from the store. Would the wheels lock causing them the fly forward head first into the cart? Could they pop a wheelie and ride on the back two tires and get by without trouble?
We may never. Our desire to know isn't strong enough to lead us to action. O well. A mystery that will remain a mystery.
