This is a question Conned

Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

Trolley Scam
It is a little known fact that a 20p is roughly the same size as a pound coin as far as unlocking a supermarket trolley is concerned.

I'm not proud.

As mentioned above
the coin is returned when you put the trolly back. But...I will remember this the next time I need a trolly & dont have a pound coin.

hmmmm
I'll remember that when I'm so strapped for cash that the dodgy scrap-man / trolley profit margin becomes a priority! lol

Crappest con ever
unless you can find somewhere to sell the trolley for £1.

Although, sometimes people in a hurry will come over and give you a £1 when they see you oputting the trolley back, so they can take the trolley. Then you can profit by it.
