Can people take trolleys home?

According to reports, it is not acceptable to take shopping trolleys home from supermarkets as it is considered a form of theft and can result in legal consequences.

As seen when visiting the local supermarket, there are dedicated staff members who collect the trolleys after customers have completed their shopping. Some may even work with local authorities to report trolley theft.

Galvanised steeling poisoning

With some trolleys, galvanised steel is used and can pose a health risk when reaching high temperatures of 538 degrees Celsius and above.

The health hub Medical Toxicology explains that galvanised steel poisoning, also known as zinc fume fever, occurs when people inhale zinc oxide fumes of heated galvanised metals. The ultrafine particles are small enough to penetrate one's respiratory system.

Braai technique humours SA

Some social media users added to the humour and noted that the braai technique wasn't a bad idea to try out. A few app users even jokingly shared which retail giant they visit to get themselves a trolley.

@boss_rsa jokingly told the online community:

"I've been tipping the car guard for three years now. He really needs to return the favour and help me with this one. He must take the risk, not me."

A surprised @manuschh exclaimed:

"No wonder trollies are always disappearing!"

@kurt.matthews2 informed Rian with a laugh:

"Don’t steal the plastic trolley."

@nniniga humorously shared in the comments:

"Take from Shoprite, please. They are not aisle-worthy. They failed roadworthy tests, those ones."

@genuinetrueblue said to app users:

"Galvanized steel is extremely poisonous when heated. That's the first thing you learn when welding."

@nativespirits89 wrote in the comment section:

"We need to be serious as a nation."
