BJ's Shopping Carts Litter City
Big Box retailer BJ's Wholesale Club has done nothing about their shopping carts scattered around Jersey City. A thread on JCList began discussing the problem back in May. New York's Sixth exposes half a dozen shopping carts left around the downtown. Yet the plague of bright red shopping carts continues.
Other downtown big box retailers don't seem to have the problem-- A&P, ShopRite, and Target have electronic locking mechanisms on their carts, and PathMark has barriers around their store to prevent escaping carts. Meanwhile, BJ's shopping carts collect in the basements of luxury residential apartment buildings and end up miles from the downtown store.
Perhaps its time to take a cue from the folks down under; an Australian town solved their "trolley" problem by fining merchants $75 for every cart left lying about.
