Off your trolley or just fleeing it

an experience of everyday life

It seems stray shopping trolleys are multiplying. But when people abandon their trolleys and put a blight on the native (or urban) landscape, they're not necessarily being especially Australian about it, since stray trolleys are an urban problem anywhere there's a supermarket. However, shopping trolley's cost supermarkets in Australia about $100 per unit to replace. Naturally, we all end up paying for it in grocery prices. Perhaps a less usual Australian experience is to actually return these things, even if it was someone else who took it for a walk beyond the carpark where it should have stayed.
