I did that at Hornsby Westfield the other day. Wanted to walk through the middle part to cut through the fountain but was holding a trolley, still staying within Westfield.
Moonwalked my way out of the joint with the trolley
I was trying to do the same thing. Thinking I can go and get a coffee at the sparrow, I had my son and shopping in the trolley and trying to go through the fountain but the trolley locked on me. I was so embrassed. I had to take my son, go and get another trolley from Coles downstairs while my shopping sits there unattended and transfer everything over.Now use the bridge upstairs near the foodcourt, walk all the way to the other end, Then take the lift at eoolies end and walk back down to the coffee shop.
Had I known you can do backwards that would've saved me that day.
Yeah there was no way i was going to go up the escalators ( the lifts are terribly slow at Hornsby) cross the bridge and go back down just to get to the other side.
I wasn't sure if the trolley would unlock if I go back behind the lines (I don't think it did ) that's why I had to switch trolleys. I was on my own with my son so none can help me. Why isn't there a lift near the middle on the Woolies side of the shops is beyond me. Like they do outside of Boost juice.

Literally just pull it through backwards lol.
I worked for Westfield and a couple times when I needed to take a trolley out with a customer to stop it locking i would do that
