Shopping carts or small trolls?

Supermarkets love getting it wrong. Not content with giving up on the word "fewer", I've now seen a sign which reads: "Please leave your trollies here."
Trollies? Are they small trolls? Or did they really mean trolleys? As in the correct plural of trolley?

Interestingly, there were a load of confused-looking children by the sign I saw. Perhaps they really do mean small trolls.

'Trollies' is also slang for pants, so perhaps the supermarket in question is telling you to 'leave your pants here'. Just a thought
