Some supermarkets have the carts conected to each other in a way that only lets you use one by putting a coin (or similar, like these tokens) into its slot, and you recover it once you connect the cart with the other ones again
And to anyone confused why do this, it's so people return the carts
What motivation is there to return the carts if you're using a fake coin?
Because most people wanna keep their fake coin ;b
But...you pull it out as soon as you use it 🤨
You can't take the coin out without connecting the cart to another one
This is madness 😂
Why waste your fake coin
It's in your pocket, bro.
It stays in the thing until you put the cart back.
