Free Sainsburys Trolley £1 Keyring

fad1211

Went to my local sainsburys today but had no change for the trolley. I asked at the customer service desk to charge my card with £1 so I can get a trolley, or to get me a trolley. She gave me a keyring with a coin that had the supermarkets logo on, and was told I could keep it. Great freebie as I would never need to look for a £1 again when shopping.

A bit pointless giving free supermarket trolley tokens if they given out free. The main reason I suspect for these tokens is to encourage customers to return there trolley, if there free there little or no incentive.

Sorry I just feel that more needs doing to stop customers and low lifes dumping trolleys as we have a problem in our town with Tescos and customers dumping tolleys where ever they feel, ironically Tescos dont have a token system where as other stores do and there no problem with dumped trolleys where shops provode trolleys. If tokens are free it could encourage problems of dumped trolleys to persist.

Oh goody, I shall go to Sainsbury's at the soonest opportunity and get my free token for a trolley because I wish to dump it. :rotfl:

Glad you find it funny Perhaps you may feel differently if a tolley is dumped on the street and blown onto a road and you car hits it.;)

No probelm with token but free it shouldnt be as they would remove the deterrant of unwanted trollys littering the streets which can be a big problem particularly with Te$co'$

If kids want to mess around with a trolley, i really doubt losing a pound is going to deter them lol and theres always loads that never need a pound anyway, the last few times in asda i've never needed a pound because they're just lying around or in the trolley places with the coin mech bust.

It does deteer them. We have 3 main supermarkets in our town, Sainsburys, Tescos and Morriosons. Only Tesco dont have a coin operated tolleys and only Tescos get the problem.

When Sainsburys was Safeway they didnt have this and we had a problem with trolleys lying on roads, ponds etc. Now sainsburys store we have had no problem I live 2 minutes from Sainsburys.

My Tesco has a warning on the trolleys that if they go over the red line on leaving the car park the trolley will stop suddenly. Don't know how they work but maybe you should write to your Tesco and tell them of the problem and ask them to get a similar system at your branch.

each trolley cost approx a hundred pounds dumping trolleys is not amusing in the slightest and the poor sods that have to go round searching for them and return them back to base are the ones i feel sorry for!
