What's the dollar for?

You insert it into the slot on the cart to "release" it (they are chained together) and get it back when you take the cart back to its place. The reason is not making money (1 dollars) for the company but to get people to take the carts back.

Thanks Gai. Here we get the carts for free except in the airports. I think they do chain them up at night if they are left outside.

I have no idea what that is, but it certainly reminds me of Monty Python...

Dear Dave,

Hope you feel good.
(Sorry for my english speaking, it isn't easy to explain)
The idea is the following:

at the beginning you need two coins of one dollar.

you need a dollar to free your first row of shopping carts.

And a second coin to free the second row.

Afterwhat you get back one dollar in triggering you two rows together. > this dollar will free one by one the others rows.

and at last get back it in triggering the ring.

At the end the cost of the operation is the one dollar used to free the first row.

;-)simon.

Hi Simon,

Thank you for that explanation. It makes sense. I kind of wish the carts were like that here but alas, if they are left outside at night, they are chained and locked together. Oh well. I like the photo.

boofredlay · 8 Jun 2009, 17:28

The owner of that dog did not want to pay to have him neutered so he just trained him to do it himself

bubbalove · 8 Jun 2009, 17:30

And me of April last year when in Spain (with Mike and Coen), a bird sh@t almost right into my eye when I was looking up.
Of course, the other two enjoyed it too much.

bubbalove · 8 Jun 2009, 19:49

Haha, that reminds me of a girl I used to date back in middle school. She was practicing her cheerleading moves on her back deck when she did a move that required to her to look at the sky, needless to say the bird had perfect aim and it landed in her mouth! Wish I could've gotten a picture of her face after it happened... So here are smilies that depict what her face woulda looked like... Before: After:
