If you find yourself in front of the shopping baskets at the supermarket and you don’t have any coins or tokens, don’t despair. There is a simple trick that allows you to easily get a shopping cart. Just use the key to unlock the shopping cart instead of a coin or token.
How to deal with it
Choose a key with a round shape and use it instead of a token or coin to unlock the shopping cart. The square shape of the key would certainly be difficult to insert into the hole, but everything must be tried, especially if you have no other options. Just insert the key into the slot and the shopping cart is yours. Remember to disconnect the key from the key fob first so that it fits easily into the slot.
Other options include using a key fob as a substitute for a coin or token. These pendants are available in a variety of colors and their rounded shape is ideal for this purpose. You can also make an extra hole in your apartment key and use it to unlock your shopping cart.
And if you happen to have a can eye, you can slide it into the slot to unlock the shopping cart. This allows you to easily release your shopping cart without the need for coins or tokens.
You can also make a small shape out of plastic (such as a plastic bottle or packaging) and use it as a substitute for a coin. Just create the right shape (for example by bending or breaking) and then insert it into the slot on the shopping cart. The chain comes off in an instant and you can shop comfortably.

Locking is dispensed with
Did you also know that in some countries shopping carts no longer lock at all? This disgraceful way is abandoned in Austria, for example, where you can shop in a very civilized manner. It certainly doesn’t happen here that someone drives away with a shopping cart.

A completely different situation prevails in the United States of America. The carts never even locked here. At the same time, when tourists from the USA come to the Czech Republic, they do not understand what the retail chains want from them. They can’t even think of a reason why the baskets should be locked.
