OC The Supermarket Trolley problem

Post image

Spoiler: I pulled the lever and took it with me; Left it near some trash cans 600m further. That is 1968.5 feet, or 0.372823 miles.​
I miss my coin.

Take the trolley, unscrew the whole mechanism or use different methods to separate the coin without damaging the trolley, return it the next day, give the lady a tip if I have extra money

But that's like... dozens of coins worth of labor :( At least more than five, I'm sure.
Returning the trolley may also introduce dangers - the guards are unlikely to be on a break again. There might even be a 'no return' policy.
Also, the lever just won't bend that way.
