A new type of business or what is being stolen now in Auchan? How to take a cart without a coin.

The most common paper clip, size 51 mm. you can fool a chain supermarket trolley. I inserted one of the "handles", the chain fell out, calmly pulled it back out.

A coin is not needed, nothing is broken, the cart can be sanded out of revenge into the farthest corner. Here is the video and below are the details:

Background

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

Case of life

We went with a company to buy for the "holiday of life" in one hypermarket. We approach the cart, they ask for 10 rubles. Having searched a total of about 40 pockets (an average of 6 per person plus a bag), we did not find 10 rubles. There were few small things, but there was no such coin among them. A bank card, a contactless payment, a qiwi wallet, even a few euro cents were found, but not those damn 10 RUBLES. They each took a hand basket and trudged along ... There was no change exchanger.

The moral side of deceit

“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, lower costs, prices ... "

First!

Of course of course! Their prices are lower! 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 for alcohol or fruit. So one man (usually from the “come in large numbers” and those three kopecks how much they pay him) does not cost anything to this supermarket.

Second!

We give them our money! We only need a constant assortment, the availability of goods, the correspondence of the price tag on the shelf, the price at the checkout, and not rotten stuff on the edge of the expiration date! Everything! We pay them for these queues, for one of the 10 cash desks that is always working. We pay them for your time in the search for a price tag on a product that never exists or does not correspond to reality, we pay them for dirty lockers with broken locks, but what are they? And they are a deposit for the cart ... And you don’t need to leave anything for the entrance to the store? And the air they can breathe there for free?

Third!

You bought for 50 rubles or for several thousand, no one will ever give you this cheapest, forever 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 the cheat for the sale, too! But one thing, they still sell them! I agree to buy it, otherwise give it to everyone, and the giveaway will break ... But why, if I bought goods for an amount, well, for example, from 1000 rubles, I can’t get a bag for free? It's worth every penny! Not 3 or 5 rubles, but a penny! But no! So that you can leave a lot of money with them by 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 the income for the store? And where then is the fiscal check, where is the paid income tax? We "self-employed" 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 is the coin acceptor on the trolley arranged?

By inserting a coin into the slot of this cunning box, you push the side clamps as wide as the coin itself and, having reached the very depth, thus unclench the hitch with the “key on the chain on the other side”. Sometimes, in other mechanisms, a coin in the depth will additionally press the 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 from the other side, unlocking the coin clamps to push the coin back into your pocket.

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

That's the whole point. 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 are easy to hang on the keys or discreetly keep in your wallet, purse, purse, for example, along with plastic cards.

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

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

Homemade option #1

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

#10 File the edge of the coin… It hurts. Therefore, it is better to cut a plastic blank the size of a coin!

#11 At this point, the diameter of the coin should be exactly 20.5mm.

#12 Check it out!

#13 Now drill a 2mm hole. (possible 3) in the place as in the photo.

#14 Not in the center, but near the edge

#15 Now countersink the hole with a larger diameter drill, eg 5mm.

#16 Thread the rope

#17 Now use as in the diagram

#18 And here is from plastic

Homemade option #2

Let's cut out such a thing from metal or plastic.

And in the photo below everything will be clear.

Homemade option #3

It is similar in meaning to #2, but in a different shape.

Homemade option #4

Likewise.

Attention!

There is another type of coin acceptor, when you insert a coin not into a slot, but onto a special sliding substrate.

#27 but it also opens... With a regular plastic cable tie! Read more.

We have everything! Good luck with your business!

Recently, locks were put on carts in Ashani: to take it, you need to insert a 10-ruble coin into the lock; to return the coin, you need to put the cart back.

there is a vending machine in the shop next to the parking lot for carts. in general - everything is provided.

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

however, no one forbids going to the parking lot with a cart and leaving it there, and even 10 rubles can be returned - just find another cart in the parking lot, and there are still enough of them.
in general - I do not 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 trolley from the parking lot along the switched off travolator (the trolley cannot go on it - there are special stoppers on the wheels), because obviously, on principle, he did not want to insert 10 rubles into the castle (there were carts at the entrance to the store, the change machine worked). and some smart guy managed to link two carts so that he got his own 10 r and other people's. everyone is trying to do it right now

well, today this is what appeared on the chips - INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO DECEIVE THE LOCK ON THE CART

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

this energy and for peaceful purposes - how wonderful we would live ....

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

Here's what we need...

And there they steal 10 ruble coins from your carts.

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

If someone else is not in the subject, then I inform you that in order to take a cart, you need to put a coin of 10 rubles into it. And at the end of the shopping process, in order to return this money, you need to roll the cart through the entire parking lot to a number of the same ones and, using a special key chained to another cart, release your hard-earned "chirp".

The feasibility of this innovation in application to Russian reality I will leave Auchan on my conscience, but the fact that she gave rise to another type of theft for me became clear now unequivocally. If earlier it was possible to calmly put the cart at any counter and go for the goods, now, having committed such a rash act, you are very likely to risk losing your ten rubles. They will be removed from the castle by someone (?).

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

Figs would be with them, with these ten rubles. My coin can even save someone from morning shaking and help them get a 7-ruble bottle of 1% salicylic acid solution.

But "it's a shame for the state!" (with)

In general, be careful, watch your carts! And if you don’t feel sorry for 10 rubles, then it’s better to give them to grandmothers, who now collect carts in the parking lots near Ashany.

Have any of you already experienced missing coins from carts?
