I find great difficulty in steering a trolley with all wheel steering uphill incline at an angle aiming at my car. It is a great twist on the back. They should have the rear wheels locked like they used to be.

I like drifting shopping trolleys. Unless you're talking about Nissan Pulsars?

Yes I have found this frustrating every time I drive one. You don't need all the wheels to turn passing something large with kids in the aisle, but when you get outside and want to go to your car, it basically makes you have to book into the chiropractor the following day . Hopefully somebody will feel the same way. If the poll breaks 100 I'll take it to Channel 9 news.

i seen a e-series ride with a locker in it sounded just like the trolley i was using to push my newborn in (the only baby trolley available as the slackers wouldnt go fetch the rest of em)
trolleys are bad these days ppl abuse the crap outta em thats why some places you need to put money in em to take one away.. |

As an employ of coles, when the bumbs from whyles don't rock up, myself along with other grocery boys have to go collect them. It would seriously make it so much easier to push 20 trolleys in one hit if all four wheels turned. Who's stupid idea was it to have the front ones only turn
 :. Try also pushing them up a bit of an incline. Its quite painful. But vety funny when people drive into them and leave a nice gash along the side of their car.

We have a Special guy collect the trolleys at our local Coles. He's a real character, he "calls in a chopper team" on his invisible CB when it's a busy day.
He also took out a parked car a few years ago when 19 of 20 trolleys he was pulling along the top of the hill broke loose, and the only thing between the bottom of the hill and the trolleys was a VS Stato :P The chopper team failed him that day. -Dave- PS this thread is odd. |

You should have seen the face on my mate when the morone that rocks up wheneveer he wants was doing the rounds in the car park at my store. One of them just mystiriously rolled and put a nice dent in the front panel of my mates prelude. This is a week after he bought it. It's also one of the last ones in black.
My mate wanted to belt him across the head just to knock a bit of sense into him. |

Why does it matter? Doesn't your missus do the shopping? You seem to be doing it wrong!
