Recently we heard about a new law trying to be introduced to start fining grocery stores for the carts that are stolen from their store…
As we’re sure you are aware you know that this is becoming quite the problem, and it goes without saying who the culprits are that are taking them…
Grocery Stores tried to lock the wheels if they were taken too far away preventing the carts from being rolled…
However, this didn’t work to well because they would just lock down whenever preventing them from being rolled at all…
The law is going to impose a pretty hefty fee 1500.00 will be assessed to the grocery store for any carts that are found outside of their parking lot…
The Grocery stores have already expressed their concerns about this and have threatened to remove the carts altogether…
So we thought…
We might have a solution, try this…
Most grocery stores have a card for savings or entry, why don’t you require the patrons to scan their card in order to get a cart…
These cards have the customers name on it so they know who checked it out…
Now the customer does their shopping and pushes the cart out to their car to remove the groceries, but typically people just leave their cart in the parking space…
Very rarely do they return it to the cart rack in the parking lot or back to the store for that matter…
But now their name is associated to that cart and they don’t want to be the last person to have used that cart…
Now they will feel more inclined to return the cart to a convenient cart rack or back to the store itself…
When the cart is returned a barcode scanner will mark the cart as returned thus removing the person as the last person to have used the cart…
This will help in the prevention of theft and will also help keep the parking lot clear of erroneous carts in parking spaces and also removing the threat of one rolling away and into your car door…
