The thing is, you still have to have someone collect them even when they’re in their proper spot you just don’t have parking spaces that could have had a car them filled with a shopping trolley, or trolleys rolling off and hitting parked cars. You also make that trolley guy’s day better by not making them have to pull the trolleys from places they aren’t supposed to be.
I used to work at a supermarket and agree that the trolley collection was by far the best job but I still hate those motherfuckers that leave their trolley just anywhere especially in otherwise valid parking spots.
Alright but think about that for a minute here. The trolley is in a parking space… Because someone was loading the shopping in to their car and just left the trolley there inconsiderately. So like, they drove their car to the shops and did that. You could maybe add this to the list of measures to encourage alternative means of transport, but it’s certainly a funny way to go about it, sort of like just going out and driving so badly that it’s impossible for anyone else to be on the roads with you. Bit of a slash and burn approach, certainly morally compromised. Maybe it’d be for the greater good in some infinitesimally small way but I think it’d be hard for people to see it as particularly heroic more than what is more aptly describable as being an asshole.

If less cars are able to park at the shops that’s a win. We need to get people out of cars.
Crippling cars is not the solution to that problem, making better alternatives usable is.
Both. But the getting people out of cars is more important in the immediate term because cars are killing the earth

Some people load up a trolley to fill their cargo bike
