For the supermarket and grocery retailer this issue is often focused on dealing with shopping cart loss which accounts for an enormous financial burden for the industry. Grocery cart loss costs the industry several hundred million yearly. The Kartlok / Kartcoin system is aimed particularly at helping resolve the issue of cart abandonment both in the parking lots and in the community. The Kartlok is affixed to the grocery cart and requires a coin/token to unlock the cart for use. When the customer is finished they must simply return the cart, lock it to another one in the corral and the money is returned. Imagine the ease of navigating a parking lot that is not littered with abandoned carts! A simple but brilliant solution .
I can't believe returning a cart is more annoying than dealing with carts all over a parking lot taking all the spaces or hitting your car?
What's the burden?
