Narrative:

While taxiing in on taxiway bravo a ground support truck with approximately 4 carts in tow did not stop at taxiway B2 while we were approaching. I saw him coming and saw that he was not stopping. I braked the aircraft and the truck saw us shortly thereafter. He immediately stopped his vehicle but was already on the edge of taxiway bravo blocking our progress. We could not continue without him moving first. He moved and we contacted ground control to let them know the vehicle cut us off and we had to stop. There was no damage to the aircraft; passengers; or ground support equipment. Ground control advised an operations vehicle to go speak with the operator of the vehicle.ground vehicle must have not been paying attention to his surroundings. I am sure ground crews receive training; but perhaps some sort of recourse action for those vehicles that commit errors such as this. I don't know if the operations vehicle talking to the operator does anything. That's if they are even able to identify who committed the action.
