A lot of supermarkets have a system to stop you taking trolleys/carts home
(sometimes instead of a charge) so they have a sign like "No carts beyond
this line, cart will stop suddenly".

You could use the fee tag. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:fee
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:fee>but on the shop=* node that
seems strange (an entry fee to a shop?) so I would suggest
shop:cart:fee=yes/no (or cart:fee=yes/no) and link to the fee page.
I would like to know what coin I need for the trolleys, and I think the fee
tag is supposed to allow this with something like fee=0.50 (assumes local
currency!), and I think we can assume you usually have just one coin needed.

I don't see a need for this information to be rendered on the map, but
someone could make an application of providing the information at the side
(along with opening_hours etc) when you click the shop or in a list of
search results for shops near you. OSM isn't all about 'the' map.
