Legacy of good ol’ small town social control that we call “the law of Jante” in Northern Europe, rule 6 I think: “You’re not to think you are more important than we are.”
Only someone from a nordic country could look at satire of conformity and say “Good idea!” the remarks later in the article, my lord. While I’m all for a tight binding social contract I think you should be encouraged to be weird while fulfilling it!
We even have those little plastic coins in Aus! Just had to ask at the help desk at the supermarket and they’d give you one with its own little keyring adaptor too! Really useful when you needed it!
We have these coin lock trollies here.
I made a tool that bypasses the coin lock so I know that every time I return my trolley I am motivated purely by social concern and not self interest.
I am 100% serious, I wish I knew what was wrong with me.
They hand out free plastic tokens for the trollies at the registers here in Lidl’s in Denmark, and people still put their trolly back.
Yes yes, everything is better in denmark except the food. We are very tired of hearing this :p

You can also use the round side of a key to bypass it.
