Is there a meme for when people post stories with incomplete sentences like this? If there is, please link me.

That's called "green texting" on 4chan.
I don't know if it's a meme, it should be used as a quote method.

Though if you search for "Green Text Stories" you should find some.
 
Whats with the giant lock on the push bar of the shopping cart?

Not sure if that's a UK trolley but we have them over here to stop them getting nicked. You put a pound in the lock which unlocks it, then you have to put the trolley back, plug the chain into an already parked trolley and that frees the pound.

Stops the youth from dossing about with them I guess.

Never seen those in the US. Over here some stores have one or two locking wheels on the cart, and then an invisible fence like thing around the perimeter that locks the wheels if you try and take them.

Clever idea though, not only stops people from stealing them, but more importantly, probably makes sure people put the cart back in a stall rather than just anywhere in the Parking lot they please.

Perfect.

We have these in Portugal too. People still take these wherever they want and leave them in the middle of nowhere.

I saw the locking carts at a giant store called Auchan Hypermarket here in Houston. Looking it up on wikipedia, it was actually one of two US locations for a chain from France. That store was absolutely enormous - wiki says upwards of 250,000 sq. ft. Closed down in '03, though.

We have some of those invisible fence things but everyone knows you can just lift them up a few feet and they don't activate. Then you're free to take it back to your halls or dump it in the canal or something.

Yep, France has locks too and Auchan is pretty big here.

Explain, now.

Please.
