So the wheels locking up on shopping carts is a real thing?
Yeah it is.
I have to admit that my attitude really sucks lately too. I don't normally throw shopping carts around.
I gotta reel it in and get a damn grip of normal suck, and deal with it as usual. What kind of message is that....sending to impressionable children and such?. I mean, I know they look up to me and all, I don't want to disappoint them like that again.
If you see the wheels have a funky shaped covers that look like wheel wells or funny looking oversized wheels, they are most likely the locking type.Quote:

How do the electronics stay charged?
Second dinner.
Better than the first.
Damn pig.
They are like an RFID tag, the signal transmitted in the buried wire powers the motor causing the brakes to be applied. wether it is an external type hooded wheel, or internal type funny looking oddball wheel.Quote:

And yes, I have been tempted to put together a pocket size transmitter and walk by the cart storage in the stores & lock them all up. Or use it on a rude isle hog in a store.
The technology is also retarded enough to not release the brake when brought back into the acceptable "zone".
I think it applies automatically, and has to be released manually by employee.
Yes, you are correct, that is the way they were designed.
