A new type of business or what is being stolen now in Auchan? How to remove a coin from an Auchan cart

Recently in Auchan they put locks on carts: to take it, you need to insert a 10-ruble coin into the lock; to return the coin, you need to put the cart in its place.

There is a change machine in the store next to where the carts are parked. in general - everything is provided.

The point of the innovation is to return the carts to their place. The fact is that they still go to the parking lot with the carts, throw the carts there, break them, there are always not enough of them in the store, and the store also has to pay salaries to special people for collecting the carts.

however, no one forbids going to the parking lot with a cart and leaving it there, and you can even get your 10 rubles back - just find another cart in the parking lot, and there are still plenty of them there.
in general, I don’t see any “infringement of rights and freedoms.”
but... the other day we were in Auchan in Vegas and saw how a very, very decently dressed man literally carried a cart from the parking lot along a switched-off travelator (the cart cannot move along it - there are special stoppers on the wheels), because obviously, on principle, he did not want to put 10 rubles in the lock (there were carts at the entrance to the store, the change machine was working). and some smart guy managed to connect two carts in such a way that he got his own 10 rubles and someone else’s. everyone is trying to do it like this

Well, today this appeared on the chips - INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CHEAT THE LOCK ON A CART

those. put the cart in its place - NO WAY! but to show unprecedented strength and ingenuity, to figure out how to deceive the lock, to work with a file and a drill - it’s easy...

If only this energy could be used for peaceful purposes - how wonderfully we would live....

in my opinion, this is the quintessence of our Russian mentality. and no “good king” will help us correct the situation.

This is what we probably need...

And they steal 10 ruble coins from your carts.

I think everyone already knows that you can’t just grab a grocery cart in Auchan?

If anyone is still not in the know, then I’ll tell you that in order to take the cart, you need to put a 10 ruble coin into it. And upon completion of the shopping process, in order to return this money, you need to roll the cart across the entire parking lot to a row of the same ones and, using a special key chained to another cart, release your hard-earned “tweet”.

The feasibility of this innovation in application to Russian reality I’ll leave it to Ashan’s conscience, but the fact that she gave birth to another type of theft has now become unequivocally clear to me. If earlier you could calmly place your cart at any counter and go get the goods, now, having committed such a rash act, you most likely risk losing your ten rubles. They will be taken from the castle by someone (?).

Moreover, most likely, you will discover the loss of the coin only after making all the purchases, loading them into the car and walking to the row of arranged carts. Personally, I, such a lucky guy, have discovered the loss twice already.

Fuck them, with these ten rubles. My coin may even save someone from the morning jitters and help them purchase a 7-ruble bottle of 1% salicylic acid solution.

But “it’s a shame for the state!” (With)

In general, be careful and watch your carts! And if you don’t mind 10 rubles, then it’s better to give it to the grandmothers who are now collecting carts in the Auchan parking lots.

note:
Have any of you already encountered coins missing from carts?

The most common paper clip, size 51 mm. you can trick a chain supermarket cart. I inserted one of the “handles”, the chain fell out, and calmly took it back out.

There is no need for a coin, nothing is broken, the cart can be sandaled into the farthest corner out of revenge. Here is the video and below are the details:

Background

One day, someone came up with a way to force people to return their carts back to the store, through a forced deposit of a 5 or 10 ruble coin. Simple and effective! Need a cart? Insert 10 rubles into it and use it. Do you want to wheel it back to the store? Okay, leave it in the parking lot, but we’ll take 10 rubles for ourselves, or go back to the market and pick up your ten.

A case from one's life

We went as a group to shop for a “celebration of life” at a hypermarket. We go up to pick up the cart and ask for 10 rubles. Having searched a total of about 40 pockets (an average of 6 per person plus bag), we did not find 10 rubles. There was little change, but there was no such coin among it. Bank card, contactless payment, Qiwi wallet, even a few euro cents were found, but not these damn 10 RUBLES. We each took a hand basket and wandered off... There was no change exchanger.

The Moral Side of Deception

“Why do this, stores specifically ask for a deposit so that people return the carts themselves, and they save on an employee who would collect them himself. As a result, costs and prices are lower..."

First!

Of course of course! Their prices are lower there! Only large retail chains can afford such carts, and they all have the same prices. Somewhere there is good tasty bread, somewhere there is meat, and somewhere there is nothing else to buy except alcohol or fruit. So one guy (usually one of those who came in large numbers and the three kopecks they pay him) is not worth anything to this supermarket.

Second!

We give them our money! All we need is a constant assortment, the availability of goods, the price tag on the shelf matching the price at the checkout, and not rotten stuff on the border of the expiration date! All! We pay them for these queues, to one of the 10 cash desks that is always working. We pay them for your time searching for a price tag on a product that is never there or does not correspond to reality, we pay them for dirty lockers with broken locks, but what are they? And they give a deposit for the cart... But don’t you have to leave anything for entering the store? Is it possible to breathe free air there?

Third!

Whether you bought it for 50 rubles or several thousand, no one will ever give you this cheapest, always torn package! All, all, all, all stores have long included the cost of the package in the prices of goods. And there is a suspicion that there is also a markup for the sale! But never mind, they still sell them! I agree to buy it, otherwise you give it to everyone, and the giveaway will break... But why, if I bought goods worth, say, 1000 rubles or more, can’t I get a bag for free? It costs a penny! Not 3 or 5 rubles, but pennies! But no! So that you can leave a lot of money with them after buying a lot of goods, you need a sneaky coin cart!

Fourth!

If the coin remained in the cart and I left, then what is this income for the store? Where then is the fiscal receipt, where is the tax paid on earnings? We “self-employed” get 4% for tutoring, etc. Do they just get money? Of course, very few people leave there, but the tax office rapes us for every penny, literally for a penny, and this is some kind of cart lawlessness))))

Conclusion:

They deceive and deceive us, and we deceive and deceive in return. No more no less.

How it works? How does the coin acceptor on the trolley work?

By inserting a coin into the slot of this cunning box, you spread the side clamps with the width of the coin itself and, having reached the very depth, thus unclench the coupling with the “key on the chain on the other side.” Sometimes, in other mechanisms, a coin in the depths will press an additional plate, which releases the key, but these are no longer important details.

10 rubles inside and back cannot be pulled out until the key on the chain is inserted on the other side, unlocking the coin clamps to push the coin back into your pocket.

But the coin inside is not held in a death grip. The whole secret is that the coin is round and has a constant diameter of 22 mm. And if it could instantly “shrink” by 1.5-2 millimeters, then it could be easily taken back out. So you need something that can at the same time be as wide as a coin, and at the same time smaller? For example the paper clip handle!

That's the trick. A paper clip of this size has two handles that can be easily removed from the black bracket. As a result, you have two small “keys” that can easily be hung on your keys or kept discreetly in a wallet, purse, purse, for example, along with plastic cards.

What if you don't have a paper clip that size?

Sometimes it is not possible to buy these in a store. Out of stock and that’s it (((Well, if not to order or on the Internet, then let’s remember about traditional methods! You know what the key should be, here are some examples and drawings below.

Homemade option #1

#9 You need to take 10 rubles, which you won’t mind. Or cut out of plastic, for example from a school ruler or the wall of a transparent box for office small square sheets of paper for notes, a circle with a diameter of exactly 22 mm. Plastic is not metal, you can do it in an hour with your hands and a file and a metal saw)))
