People are calling her stupid, but I think the last basket is glued to the frame, so that others can stack or remove a basket from it. She's obviously decided since there were no more left to take the frame as well.

Not sure if you're joking but it's 100% not glued. I work at Asda and due to the added weight of all the other baskets, the bottom one gets a bit wedged in the holder. Usually requires a little bit more effort to remove the last basket. I've seen people walking round exactly like this lady

There were no carts?

Some places link them together and you have to use a special coin or a £1 to remove one. She might not have had any cash. We often use debit cards instead.

People charge for carts and baskets?

You drop the coin in the handle, then can disconnect it from the others and use. At the end of shopping you connect the cart to others and get the coin back.

Ahh okay. Suppose deterring people from stealing all the carts. Getting the money back makes sense

Not so much stealing but people leaving the carts in the parking lots.

Yeah it looks like the handle is missing from that basket, so actually carrying it round like this is probably better than trying to carry it with her arms and having to put it on the floor every time she wants to grab something off the shelf.
