I EMPATHISE with Amber Moncrieff when she complains about wayward shopping trolleys in the street of her business ("Supermarkets told to clean up act", Newcastle Herald, 4/11). I think they are a scourge. It is rare to see Aldi trolleys in the street. The reason for this is that Aldi trolleys are coin or token return, so most people return the trolley to retrieve their coin.
I feel we should lobby the state government to make it mandatory for all supermarkets to make their trolleys coin-return. I don't know how to achieve this, but there has to be a way. I hope someone has a greater imagination than I do in this endeavour.
