None of the others in town have these, thought it was unusual enough to share

The safeway near my apartment is so ghetto the wheels lock as soon as you leave the store exit. You have to take everything in one trip or wait for your car to pull around to load.

I'm pretty stubborn. I'd probably just drag it across the parking lot like a neanderthal and let the asphalt grind flat spots onto the wheels.

The ones I've seen usually only lock one wheel, maybe two on a side. So you can wheelie the carts just fine.

Half the carts I’ve ever used have a busted wheel anyway lol.

Even better of you can figure out how to grind the asphalt away with the wheels. Make it reeeeeeally annoying for them.

I'd go one step further and take the cart, for spite

Seems inconsistent! The one by my house had the wheel lock but it worked fine.
