None of the others in town have these, thought it was unusual enough to share

Those things have been around for a long time.

I remember them being introduced at least 15 years ago. My manager at the time would wait and laugh at people trying to take them past the parking lot. She was a really miserable person.

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't even work anymore just because of how long they've been around.

I've never bothered to try it recently though.

They likely get repaired/replaced when they die. When the batteries die the brake locks shut so you can't move it. No idea how long they last though
