In recent years, with the rapid development of the city’s economy, supermarkets have become the infrastructure for the survival of city residents. On the one hand, due to the wide variety of products in supermarkets, from food to use, from washing to electrical appliances, everything needed for daily life can generally be found in supermarkets. On the other hand, this kind of self-service stores satisfy to a large extent. Everyone relaxes shopping and chooses freely, so supermarkets of all sizes can be found everywhere. When people go to the supermarket to “clean up”, they usually pick up the shopping basket or shopping cart provided by the supermarket when they enter the door. So, why do many supermarket shopping carts need a dollar coin to use? Let’s take a look.
First of all, the supermarket is not doing this for profit, nor is it deliberately causing trouble for customers. On the contrary, in order to maintain this currency withdrawal mode, supermarket staff also need to prepare a lot of RMB coins in advance, so that those who have not prepared coins need customers to buy them again in the shopping cart. People only need to prepare one yuan. After changing the coins to staff, they will enter the keyhole of the shopping cart, and the originally fixed chain will be automatically disconnected.
Second, coin-operated shopping carts can restrain many people who throw shopping carts everywhere. Generally speaking, when the shopping cart can be used directly. After taking a shopping cart at the entrance of the supermarket, some people may not want to buy so many things when they enter the supermarket. They may just throw the shopping cart, no matter where they go, this not only hinders the public passage, if there are children or the elderly, this is also a big safety hazard.
On the contrary, if you need to insert a coin, everyone will consciously return the shopping cart to the car storage in the supermarket to retrieve a coin, and then reinsert the lock into the keyhole of the shopping cart before it can be retrieved. With coins, it is easier to manage and safer.
Finally, the shopping cart is locked with a chain and used in the form of coins. When returning a shopping cart, people will consciously put the shopping carts together in order, which can also save the human resources of the supermarket shopping cart, reduce operating costs, prevent unnecessary losses caused by the loss of the shopping cart, and gain more profits.
