Edit2 : Apparently I HAVE to use the original shitty title from the article.

Grocery theft is on the rise but we won’t tax the rich or bring back down the prices, we will jail those in need instead.

Money is better spent in the police forces anyway /s

    I work at a grocery store. I may sometimes talk about the weakness of the locking wheels out loud to coworkers where customers can hear

    Did you know it’s only the front left wheel that locks at our super store? So if you tilt the cart to the right, or put your foot on the back part to get the front to tip up, you can wheel it out easily?

    Isn’t it fascinating?

        We have it here too. Loblaws sometimes has shopping carts that lock their wheel if they travel too far from the property. It’s an anti-shopping cart theft thing

          Uh, thanks.
          I’ve never seen or heard of those before around here. Maybe they couldn’t figure out how to order the French model?

          Notre expensive carts to serve as deterrent against theft…
          New strategy: steal the carts, extract and sell the electronics, scrap metal the rest.

          I didn’t think I’d be looting Descartes before the doors.
