Shopping Trolley

A shopping trolley is a trolley in which you put your shopping in. Usually found dumped in canals, or with a hobo sleeping in it, they are great transportation tools. Most supermarkets are suffering from jacked shopping trolleys and have introduced newer shopping trolleys which get jacked too.
"Dude, let's go to Tesco and jack the trolleys."

I went French shopping today, got myself some fromage de corse.
