Trolley Token Trick uncovered.

Adamantium

I worked my first job as a trolley boy/general handy kid at Tesco in the 2007 summer. I was 16 at the time and it was glorious.

YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE AMOUNT OF COINS LEFT IN TROLLEYS BY PEOPLE. On average, I made an extra 20 euro a day, 5-6 days a week.

This was the attitude of the "Boom" first hand from everyday people.

As an off topic aside



They were playing a kid above minumum wage (which I don't think they had to)to work 8 hours a day for what was a half an hours work at most. I was in that sweet narrow range of too young for full duties and they treated like I was a fully fledge employee.

They were amazing to work for. I'd go in most days and barely would be noticed. So cool, it was like, they said "Yeaaaaah just find something to if you can"

There was people there who had been working for years and I they they'd have killed managment over how easy a time I was having. I was asked to do nothing

Boring, soul crushing work.

It goes to show that companies really don't adhere to equal pay, equal work.
We pay people to produce nothing.

I find a bolt cutter will release any trolley and you don't have to worry about things like carrying around heavy money.


Btw, does anyone want to buy a trolley you don't have to put money into?

Because people who shop in lidl / aldi are generally poorer and with an IQ 6% less than the average shopper in supermarkets which offer a proper choice.

lidl quality is lower than aldi. They are related,one buys and sells better/lower quality stuff than the other. For that reason there is a little truth to your post.
If your trying to say ( fugkin ) Tesco is better,that's cow crap. If I go into f.....g Tesco,I could spend half an hour perusing their shyte aisle layout and not get what I needed. Maybe you shop in M&S ,its your money,I just wouldn't.

I go into aldi,I buy good quality meat and veg and all that's needed for a good healthy varied diet . I can walk into any aldi and pick out my weeks shopping in less than 20 minutes. I buy my spices in some of the Asian shops in and around the city.
Super Value is also good but more expensive.

I'm sure you Maryishere did way better than me in the leaving cert and got loads of points. You probably are more wealthy than me and have a nice cushy job. Feel free to judge me and any other aldi shopper as lower down the food chain. Good luck.

So I bought one of these from one of our large German Discounters last Sunday while I was in getting a bottle of vino only to find on my first real shopping experience that the token doesn't fit their own trollies!
What a scam.:mad:
Here a thought, dont be a mug like me and make your own.
All you need is an old 2 Euro coin that's lying around the place and drill a little hole in it and attach some string and you have your very own stylish trolley token for free and stick two fingers up to consumerism:).

those shopping trolleys are fierce handy to have with you.

I keep a bolt cutters in the car because I can't spend a bolt cutters. Its also very effective at liberating a trolley when needed.

I was in Tesco the other day and they were selling trolley tokens shaped like an English £1 coin

When I'm at Aldi I never have a €2 coin so I just rob some old biddy's trolley

You see a lot of nice cars outside Aldi and Lidl. Personally I believe that it is the opposite of Maryishere's statement is true. People look at the more expensive shop and think it must be better because it costs more. That certainy doesn't make them smarter.
