Trolley Dude Gets a New Look

We see trolley dude nearly every time we go to the supermarket.  He's out and about, taking care of the trolleys and doing what a trolley dude does.  He has a very specific style that reminds me, for some reason, of the Mediterranean.  He has tanned skin and dark hair, which is always tied back in a ponytail.  It's trolley dudes look.  So we were shocked today to discover that trolley dude has chopped off all his hair.  He looks like a different man.  A different trolley dude who definitely remembers trolley dude but now has a different trolley dude persona.  The confusion.  We always thought that trolley dudes power was hidden in his ponytail.  Without the ponytail does he still exert control over the trolleys?  Well yes, it would seem so.  He was out and about up to his usual business and the trolleys were well behaved.  He even came up to me to take my trolley when we had finished loading the ute.  I had to stop myself from saying, hey trolley dude, what happened to your do?  I didn't want to offend him or have him think that I was in any way stalking him.  I was, however, excited to have spoken to trolley dude - I had thanked him for taking my trolley - and trotted back to Mystical Roo to announce that yes, I had just spoken to trolley dude.  I think Mystical Roo was impressed.
