I have an alternate theory.
The pound coin is not just so the trolley will be returned, it’s also there to force people to stack them properly in their little hut. Same with the metal lane things outside Lidl/ALDI.
I often see people in Morrisons just dump their trolleys with the others rather than take two fucking seconds to put them away properly. If everyone did this the shelters couldn’t hold a tenth as many trolleys and the trolley dollies would need ten times as long to lock them away at night.
Seriously, is it really so hard to take your trolley and push it into the back of the one that’s already there?

They are probably the same people who litter.
"Someone else will sort it out" mentality.

Not as bad as the people who leave empty sandwich wrappers in the trolley
There’s a special circle of hell for them.

Or Covid masks (and gloves at the beginning).

Masks made by Chinese slave labour
and deposited into places that fill waterways and then the sea. Once upon a time we tried to keep plastics out of the ecosystem because they were bad for it, how things have changed. We used to enforce the no-slavery thing too.
