Nope. The wheels lock once you take it over the line.

The word you meant to write was "Sarcasm" my friend

Actually, no, I meant what I said. It's clear you're not "worldly" enough to know this:

the cart does actually stop moving past the line!!! shoprite has it in brooklyn and so do many other stores

Nope. I guess I wasn't the only one who thought it was but learnt something new tonight!
Not that it matters but I would have done a double take on the sign also.

Apparently that classifies you as "unworldly"  :-\

Real. I've seen this in many places before, where the cart in face stops at the colored line.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Apparently that classifies you as "unworldly"  :-\

In addition to the mass amount of confusion as to the original picture (which should have told you something), you had numerous people explicitly telling you left and right that it was possible:

Its always before the parking lot - shoprite in brooklyn has the same thing

Why is it necessarily sarcastic?

You do realize some stores have that capability with their carts, right?

+1 I'm still lost.

But instead of taking the cue, you insisted:

Ya right.  8) And I have a bridge to sell you

At which point it was clear you weren't familiar with the possibility, so I said:

^ Naivete at its finest.

...again suggesting perhaps you should research before trying to sell me a bridge, but no, you didn't.

No offense at the unworldly comment, but you shoulda seen the writing on the wall with this one :P

if you look closely, you can actually see what looks like the device which sends the signal to lock the wheels next to the yellow line

Actually it was precisely  "^ Naivete at its finest." which threw me off. Heck, the first time you heard of it im sure you were like: ya right ..no way the store put all that technology in a cart. Am I wrong.....?

Then perhaps you need to look up the definition of "naivete"?

In any event, I didn't say "ya right" the first time I heard of it, I said "WTH" when I felt it :P
