Those Cotnoppers Are Forcing Up Your Grocery Bills

A Washington area super
market noticed a sudden in
crease in shopping cart losses.
1t checked and noticed a
woman wheeling a cart toward
an apartment project. The
apartment house was on a hill
and there was a small lagoon
at the bottom. When she had
emptied her cart, she would
give it a little nudge with her
foot and it would roll into the
lagoon. The investigators
dredged 81 carts out Of this
lagoon.
Perhaps such persons look
on the shopping cart as a
cheap contraption of wire and
wheels. The wire is stainless
steel and in carload lots the
wagons cost the supermarket
chains $50 plus for the stand
ard variety and $35 plus for
those with collapsible seats for.

Food Fair has been trying
the most novel plan, but not
in the Washington area where
it operates 10 stores.
Customers who try to remove
carts from the premises despite
posted notices against the prac-
tice suddenly find the wheels
won't bulge. Special locks slide
in place when the carts pass
over a magnetic plate embed
ded in the pavement outside
the store. They remain locked
until an attendant arrives with
a key.
The company has been test
ing them at eight stores in
New Jersey, Philadelphia and
New York City and its Balti-
more office says three stores
in that city are scheduled to
have them.
Although expensive, the mag
netic devices are cheaper than
losing $50 to 200 carts a year
from each store, Food Fair
says.
