  2. 1. Failure to use the trolley that is taken away - WASTED.

    2. Lesser trolleys - Lesser people can use the trolleys.

    3. There would be a loss in money.

    4. People are going to spoil the trolleys as it would be a nuisance to everyone including the company.

    5. Still, a loss of money and a big nuisance to public.

  3. 1. [People don’t return them] the supermarket has to spend more on the trolleys
    2. [People damage them beyond repair] same as 1.
    3. [People dirty them] Supermarket staff and cleaners have to take the extra effort to clean because no one wants to take the dirty trolley causing a trolley shortage later on.
    4. [People leave things in them] when the people go back to the trolley to get their stuff and don’t find it, it causes a dispute.
    5. [People just pull out the “key” from the trolley without the coin] it spoils the trolley so coins will no longer fit.

    2. People will bring the trolleys back home with them and do not return them since they have too many things to bring home.

    3. Children who go with their parents will play on the trolleys and may break it.

    4. People may leave the trolleys somewhere when it gets too inconvenient for them to push around.

  9. 1. Cannot twist or move the trolley so it minimize the place the shoppers will go to

    2. It cause the company to lose thousands of dollars just because people don't return

    3. Most people usually will not carry lose change with them and without a one dollar coin, they cannot get a trolley and will choose to buy lesser things

    4. No brakes can sometimes cause the trolley to move on its own with the slightest push can bang into something or someone

    5. Some of the back wheels of the trolleys can only move back and fort so it also confine the places where the shoppers will go

    6. Shoppers will then ten to put the trolley at the end of the 'corridors of cupboard' and if everyone starts to do that it will become a inconvenience to many people

  16. 1) It may injure others.

    2) It is difficult for the people who use it to maneuver it.
    When it is filled up with groceries, it gets harder to maneuver it.
    So we have to put oil to make it easier to maneuver it.
    If we don’t do this then the trolleys will start going side ways.

    3)it is huge, hence it is difficult to go through some of the passage ways, especially when there is two trolleys coming towards each other in the opposite directions through one passage way. But at the same time people also go through the pathway.

    4) Mothers with infants need to also carry the baby so they bring the pram. But they also need to push the trolleys to buy groceries. Then they can't possibly push the trolley and the pram.

    5) Not enough trolleys for the people to use.
