Off their trolley

Stockport's Asda fortress has a wizard new wheeze for combating the obesity epidemic - making customers walk an extra 400 paces just to collect & deliver a trolley. That should help counteract the effects of consuming giant bags of crisps & 2 litre bottles of sweet fizzy drinks.

Problem is though, they impose this workout on those who arrive at the store on foot or by public transport. Those who shop by car find the trolley park conveniently in the car park.

Isn’t that the wrong way round? Those who come by car would surely welcome the chance to stretch their legs with all the extra walking, not to mention the weight training from carrying their shopping the extra distance
