But then the shop would have to employ a Trolley Commissionaire, and on
their profit margins it would be uneconomic.


It could easily be implemented at the register.



And in some of those neighbourhoods (a) a tenner for the trolley would be
more than the customer can spend on a week's food


Possibly, although if they are only spending a tenner on food, they
probably don't need a trolley to take it home.

(b) anyone pushing a
trolley that's returnable for a tenner would get mugged by someone wanting
their next fix.


That could be.
