Comment on When people talk about returning the cart after shopping, does that include putting it in a corral, or do you have to take it all the way to the front of the store to be a good person?

  The store bolts a cart to one of these:

  danetechnologies.com/shopping-cart-retrievers/

  And then the person wrangling carts will pull carts out of the corral and load them up in front of this.

  They carry a remote that makes the retriever move forward, so the employee can just stand at the front of the (sometimes surprisingly long) train of carts and steer it.

  These things push way harder than a teenager in a back support belt could ever accomplish, so it both increases efficiency of retrieval (more carts at once) and reduces the chances of injury.

    Wow, thanks, never seen one of those before (I’m in Australia).
