So now you have two options to unlock a shopping cart:<\/p>\n

1. Use a loonie<\/p>\n

2. Use the Cart Boss<\/p>\n

Which will you choose?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s dive into the main flaws of the traditional wallet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wallets are very hard to get change out of.\u00a0 Now days, they are designed for bills and cards, not coins. Every time I try to take out change from my wallet, it\u2019s blisteringly painful for my fingers to squeeze into the far reaches of my wallet to get change.\u00a0 Most of the time I end up dropping it.<\/p>\n

Great, now I have to bend my inflexible body over to retrieve my coins, which can be a pain in the back.\u00a0 Upon standing back up,\u00a0I\u00a0smack the back of my head on the metal cart\u00a0handle! Right then and there, I was done with carrying my wallet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There\u2019s usually one or two people behind me who nag me to hurry up. If you thought the change was a challenge to pick up, just think about what could happen to your 5\u2019s 10\u2019s and 50\u2019s! If you are really unlucky your bills, and credit cards can slip out and get blown away by the a slight breeze! You\u2019re going to have run like the wind to chase your money back.\u00a0 This goes to show you how much time I wasted even before I even unlocked the shopping cart! Sigh, even more shopping kartma to deal with.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Afterwards, I decided that my wallet was not so good at storing change. Instead, I decided to keep it simple, and leave a few spare coins in my pocket.\u00a0 It shouldn\u2019t be too hard right? It was a lighter alternative to carrying a heavy wallet, but I had to deal with more issues.\u00a0 Every step I took, there was this annoying sound of metal clunking in my pocket like my Mom was dialing my phone every stride I took. I finally arrived at the shopping cart till.\u00a0 Time to take out the change.\u00a0 When I reach into my pocket I couldn\u2019t see what I was getting, so it took me a few seconds to determine which was the right coin.\u00a0 After three seconds, I finally found the loonie.\u00a0 Unfortunately upon inserting it, the tiny coin slips out of my hands and the same situation that happened with my wallet, happened all over again. Then when\u00a0I bent over to retrieve my loonie that I dropped, I hit my head again on the shopping cart handle!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We can agree that a loonie is a tiny coin to hold.\u00a0 The most annoying thing out of all is when I go to insert it I hold it too close to the front.\u00a0 So, I need to hold it from further back.\u00a0 \u00a0to move my fingers away from the edge, it slips out of my fingers and reunites with the ground once again!\u00a0 No matter how hard you try the loonie can always find a way to slip it\u2019s way out of your grasp.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You shoppers may think this is an absurd problem and I\u2019m over exaggerating.\u00a0 Even though you\u2019d probably be wasting a few minutes finding your coin, you\u2019re still throwing your time out the window. Think about all those time consuming moments where you struggled to unlock a shopping cart. It can seriously add up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So, why is the Cart Boss is more reliable and user friendly than a coin? Take a look at these 4 main features:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The Cart Boss is ready to use on your key chain, so you don\u2019t need to look for it in your wallet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • \u00a0It\u2019s plastic build won\u2019t weigh down your pockets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • The Cart Boss has a long shaft for you to hold so you don\u2019t drop it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
        • The Cart Boss can be removed from the slot compared to the loonie, which can\u2019t be removed.\u00a0\u00a0 Don\u2019t let them take your loonie hostage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          \"\"<\/p>\n

          Now that I have the Cart Boss, I don\u2019t have to worry about carrying a wallet or spare change.\u00a0 All I needed to do was to whip out my car keys, insert and unlock!\u00a0 Since the Cart Boss stays on your key-chain, it is really hard to misplace.\u00a0 You will almost always have your car keys with you when you enter the grocery store.\u00a0 My Cart Boss is always ready when I need it to be.\u00a0I can\u2019t tell you how much stress this little gadget has taken off my back.\u00a0\u00a0I didn\u2019t have to bend over, drop my wallet, or smack the back of my head, because I always had the right tool at the right time.<\/p>\n

          Since the Cart Boss is also removable, I helped out some folks behind me by unlocking a couple more shopping carts for them.\u00a0 They were dumbstruck as they saw how easily I unlocked cart after cart.\u00a0 You can even do the same!<\/p>\n
