Make sure you're sitting down...

Do you think Sarah Parkes is really Jessica Wright in disguise?

I think the shopping trolley issue is something we should all think long and hard about; I mean a child could fall into one of these, get trapped and stave to death.

Mr Gladkeys could simply have picked them up and put them on the nature strip or a suitable nearby public space. The trolley collectors driving around would have eventually seen them and picked them up. But he wanted his 15 mins of fame and now he’s got it. Bet Rove will be interested…

Personally I believe that laws should be introduced in the ACT preventing trolleys being taken outside shopping precincts. There’s no need for even the bogans and westies in the community to trundle groceries home in a shop-owned trolley. Anyone spotted pushing a trolley outside a shopping centre, hung by the neck until dead and pay a $4.00 trolley fine I say.

The upside to that would be more funds for the gov’t and a lot less bogans walking the streets!!!!

Given what we know from the article Maelinar I’d have taken them straight back and dumped em in the store entrance never mind the car park. I wouldn’t leave them rotting in my garden. We have to clean up after Morons to some extent, there’s ‘eff all chance that the Morons will come back and remove the items in question and rather than bleat on that Woollies aren’t doing it it’s quicker to do it yourself. If he has taken 20 or so back already I’m sure he would have mentioned it. Fully agree with the rest of your sentiments though.

@Swaggie – it’s not his responsibility to clean up after people who are too self-indulgent to realise that shopping trolleys are intended to take to the car, not trundled all the way home.

It wouldn’t be so much of a problem if these people put the trolley in their garages (possibly also in the absence of a vehicle as they are not using one to go shopping), and returned with the trolley the next time they wanted some milk etc.

But they don’t.

Since we are hypothesising, lets also presume that mr Gladkeys has already taken 20, 30, 50 trolleys back to woolies already – but not covered by this article ?

Once his good samaritan reserves have run out, its still none of his responsibility to return the trolley, he’s an independent bystander.

So he’s upped the ante, in true ACA/TT fashion. Personally, I’d be more interested in kneecapping the wankers who take off with the trolleys, both for protection of the price margin at the shop counter, and in effort to curb the a$$hole gene that is a worse pandemic than AIDS, yet they still haven’t found a cure for either.

Yes I saw this and laughed out loud. If Mr Gladkeys put as much effort into throwing them onto his Ute and returning them to Wooliies car park as he does in ringing up the store and the Press his problems would all ne over. And why do people blame the stores – it’s their few Moronic customers who do this not store management?

I would also presume that ‘Aaron Gladkeys’ could offer a list of potential dumpers for his local woolworths to blacklist.

I’d love to see them enforce a ‘no trolley for you’ on some booner when they attempt to shop there, and the resultant quagmire.

agreed hingo. if everyone just pushes them onto their next door neighbours yard in the general direction of the nearest woolies then we could save the woolworths trolley collectors from ever having to go through such demanding work.

The Chronicle scooped The Canberra Times!

I have a solution, pick up the bloody trolleys and take them back yourself you stupid coot. At the very least, dump them on your next door neighbours lawn. Problem solved.

OH THE HUMANITY!!!!!!!
