Finally after work, the stomach growls, so quickly go to the supermarket and do some shopping. And now we have the old problem again: Of course, not a single damn coin can be found in the wallet right now to release the shopping cart from the fuse. A plastic chip is not included either – and now?
The shopping chip, an anti-theft device
Even if it is annoying, the safeguards from which you have to "free" the car have an important function: namely that the shopping cart is not stolen or simply left in the parking lot. That was the reason why supermarkets attached lock chains and deposit locks to the wagons in the 1980s. Since then we have been bringing our cars back after the purchase and are getting our chip or coin back.
Shopping chips: The variety is great
Shopping chips are popular giveaways: they are made of metal and plastic, with or without imprint, as key rings or magnets. But it is important, at least in Germany: the shopping chip must never be as thick and large as the real euro coins. So it says in the medal regulation. Anyone who violates this will be punished.
