伍尔沃斯（Woolworths），科尔斯（Coles）和克马特（Kmart）等超市的手推车锁令人沮丧的购物者，他们很少有1美元或2美元的硬币

超级市场和主要零售商（例如Woolworths，Coles和Kmart）正在不断战斗，以确保购物手推车留在原本要成为的地方

Supermarkets and major retailers like Woolworths, Coles and Kmart are in a constant battle to ensure shopping trolleys stay where they are meant to be — in stores.

超级市场和主要零售商（例如Woolworths，Coles和Kmart）一直在一场持续的战斗，以确保购物手推车留在原本要去的地方。

However, a growing trend of locking them up in Australia to prevent them from being dumped is causing growing frustration among shoppers who rarely have a $1 or $2 coin required to operate them.

但是，将它们锁定在澳大利亚以防止他们被抛弃的趋势的日益增长的趋势正在引起越来越多的挫败感，这些购物者很少经营它们需要1美元或2美元的硬币。

Recently, regular Woolies shopper Stefan was fuming after his arm was hurting from having to lug a heavy basket around the store to do his weekly shop because he didn't have a coin on him to access a trolley.

最近，普通的伍尔里斯（Woolies）购物者斯特凡（Stefan）的手臂因在商店周围拖着一个沉重的篮子而受伤后，他每周都会烟熏，因为他没有硬币可以进入手推车。

"My arm was killing me, I couldn't get a trolley because they have the coins and I never carry coins," he told Yahoo News.

他告诉Yahoo News：“我的手臂杀了我，我无法拿到手推车，因为它们有硬币，而且我从不携带硬币。”

"I went to customer service and said 'I wish I had a token for the trolley' and they were like 'oh yeah, here you go' and gave me a token. I was like 'oh my god, how did I not know about that?'"

“我去了客户服务，说'我希望我有一个手推车的象征，他们就像'哦，是的，你去了'，给了我一个令牌。我就像'哦，我的上帝，我怎么不知道这呢？”

While the supermarket remained tight-lipped when approached by Yahoo News, it's understood customers who don’t have a coin to use for the trolley locks are welcome to enquire about the tokens.

虽然超市在Yahoo News接近时仍保持着紧身的行列，但欢迎没有硬币用于手推车锁的客户，欢迎询问令牌。

Why are trolleys being locked in Woolworths, Coles, Aldi and Kmart?

为什么手推车被锁在Woolworths，Coles，Aldi和Kmart中？

Trolley dumping is a widespread issue, with supermarkets spending "significant amounts" on maintaining their fleets. Brisbane-based Ocean Crusaders' Ian Thomson recently told Yahoo it costs roughly $300 to replace a trolley, and stores "don't do much" to recover missing ones.

手推车倾销是一个普遍的问题，超市在维护舰队方面花费了“大量数量”。总部位于布里斯班的海洋十字军的伊恩·汤姆森（Ian Thomson）最近告诉Yahoo，更换手推车的费用约为300美元，而商店“不做太多”才能恢复缺失的手推车。

"That's often being paid for with our groceries," he said, suggesting it's everyday Aussies who bear the brunt of the ultimate costs of the problem.

他说：“这通常是用我们的杂货来支付的。”他暗示，每天的澳大利亚人都承受了问题的最终费用。

Coles recently told Yahoo News they have teams of people collecting trolleys removed from the premises.

Coles最近告诉Yahoo News，他们的团队有很多人从该处撤离手推车。

"Abandoned trolleys are a nuisance to local communities and we are continually working to make this better across all our stores, including regular collections of abandoned trolleys with vehicles on the road frequently," a Coles spokesperson said.

科尔斯发言人说：“废弃的手推车是对当地社区的滋扰，我们一直在努力在所有商店中变得更好，包括经常在路上有车辆的定期收藏。”

"We are always reassessing our trolley management and take local feedback into account when deciding what methods to employ at any of our stores, including the use of coin locks and electronic wheel lock systems."

“我们总是在重新评估手推车管理，并在决定在我们的任何商店中使用哪种方法，包括使用硬币锁和电子车轮锁系统时考虑当地的反馈。”

Aldi, well known for using coin-operated trolleys, told Yahoo News Australia they too use them to prevent trolleys being dumped, as well as to save money.

阿尔迪（Aldi）以使用硬币操作的手推车而闻名，他告诉Yahoo News澳大利亚，他们也使用它们来防止手推车被抛弃，并省钱。

"The Aldi trolley token system is a key preventative measure against trolleys being dumped in backstreets, waterways and public areas. As a result, we find almost all of our trolleys are returned to our stores," a spokesperson said.

一位发言人说：“ Aldi手推车代币系统是反对将手推车倾倒在后街，水道和公共区域的关键预防措施。因此，我们发现几乎所有的手推车都返回了我们的商店。”

"By incentivising customers to return their own trolleys, we save money on trolley retrieval services and pass those savings on to customers in the form of our low prices. It’s part of our Good Different operating model."

“通过激励客户返回自己的手推车，我们可以节省手推车检索服务的钱，并以我们低价的形式将这些节省的钱传递给客户。这是我们良好的不同运营模式的一部分。”

The store sells a trolley token for 99 cents.

该商店以99美分的价格出售手推车令牌。
