Designing Shopping Basket for Social Anxiety User (WEEK 03)

My proposal for this week forum which is how to improve our shopping experience to be better.

My idea is to design a shopping basket for social anxiety user, when we are shopping, there will be some employees that approach us to ask or offer us something. Personally I found it kind of unpleasant because in some occasion, I just want to shop by myself without other disrupting. And for some people might feel it is too burdensome especially someone with social anxiety.

My proposal for this issue is basket for those people, the one who just want to shop by themselves. The basket will have sign choices so people can choose based on their preferences.

I also add on for the handle to be convenient because sometimes I found the handle from the basket is hurting when you were shopping for long time so the handle for this basket can be 'clapped' where the left and right handle is fit each other so it combines into one roller handle. The diagram of fit mechanism can be seen below. The mechanism that I want is the lock and key one.

 My sketch regarding this idea and how it works can be seen below.
