They have this in Las Vegas. I work for one of the car companies and we found that one of our models stalled when going over the underground wire! Thankfully is was part of a test fleet and didn’t make it to production that way

Yeah, this is not terribly new. At the supermarket by me, the problem is that the border cuts across a shared parking lot at a weird angle, so it’s easy for shoppers not intending to make off with the cart to inadvertently cross the line and seize up the wheels. Annoying.

A Shoppers Food Warehouse has had this for at least a year by me. But they’re connected to a bunch of other stores like Old Navy and Best Buy so apparently this keeps people from using their carts to just shop all day. But most people never notice any of the 150 signs warning you about it and are just confused as hell when the wheels lock next to Barnes & Noble.

They put this system at the Ghetto-Kroger near my house and removed it within a few monthsâ€¦ the problem is that when the wheel locks up, the crack-head continues to push the cart and it grinds that one wheel down to a less-than-round shape. So EVERY cart in the store bangs like holy hell.
