It could easily be implemented at the register.
Possibly, although if they are only spending a tenner on food, they
probably don't need a trolley to take it home.
That could be.

I very much do.
At what kind of quality level and for how many days?
I suppose if you want to live on own brand baked beans it might be
possible.
Personally I don't.

Potatos are very reasonable, and decent quality, they have nice broccoli,
onions, carrots, tinned tomatos.
(I checked, the only ingredient in the tomatos is tomatoes and preservative.)
If you'r willing to actually cook the stuff, you can come up with meals
quite cheaply.
A horrible shame is that food preperation is not taught in all schools
to all pupils.
Everyone should at least be taught (or have to demonstrate pre-existing
competancy) in making simple dishes, such as basic spaghetti dishes
with a can of chopped tomatoes, a pinch of oregano, some onion and bacon,
or what you can do cheaply with a stock cube and some potatos.
Edible food that's not too complex or slow to make, and is cheap.
And teach at least a large part of it with microwaves.

Well then. That's potentially a solution for two problems. WIth
suitable plumbing, enough methane could be collected to run the
central heating.

A deposit is returned so why does an honest person have a concern?
Having used a narrow boat I have seen the effect of dumped 'free' trolleys.
They end up in canals and other places.
Why not just be responsible - help to protect the environment and keep costs
down by not subsidising the replacement of trolleys - or policing of
supermarket perimeters.
Incidentally - saw some good trolleys in Sheffield - they catch on grids at
the exits of the car park making them difficult (not impossible) to remove -
they also climb escalators.

It isn't an issue of honesty but one of inconvenience and poos
customer service.
The simple solution to that is for the supermarkets to make it part of
somebody's job to make sure that the trollies don't disappear and to
round up any that do. As I mentioned in another post, both of my
kids worked during their school holidays at a local supermarket. The
local authority fines the supermarket (IIRC £1000 a time) for trollies
found outside the car park. This encourages the supermarkets to
round up any wayward ones.
The cost of having somebody for part of their job (20% max) rounding
up trollies is very small indeed in the context of the running of a
supermarket.
Exactly. With a bit of intelligence, it is possible to come up
with solutions that do the required job without resorting to stupid
coin deposits.
