    When I lived in America, My local grocery stores have those push button security gates that block people from stealing food. It’s a one sided gate and people coming in has a button to open the gate.

    I saw a female with a baby in a cart at the gate, waiting for someone to open it. I’m glad to be the person that let the mom through.

      Huh, I thought those were largely a commonwealth thing - like the cart returns where you have to give them a coin before they’ll unlock themselves. I’ve never seen one in the US, though there are a few one-way gates at stores near me (they don’t appear to do anything though, just prevent you from going out the wrong door - I think they’re just there as traffic management, they’re not active)
