Yes the US absolutely does have them at some chains. Also a lot of stores have tech where the wheels lock up if you try to leave the parking lot with the cart. There’s various versions of them, including this one.
In the EU the coin lock carts are basically standard everywhere I’ve been.
Tucker’s bullshit wasn’t aimed at people that would know that. It was ridiculous propaganda for the sorts of dumb fucking Americans who never leave their bubble, yet spend all their time making wild assumptions about the outside world.
And IMHO, that Russian one is the lame kind. The better ones have a separate track for carts. Target use those a lot, and they allow the people side to flow with less obstruction.
The ones where I live have some sort of range signal where the wheels stop if you go too far away. If you leave the parking lot, all the wheels lock up. It’s probably simple to disable but I haven’t bothered to go there with a flipper zero and sort out how to steal them since I already own a pretty sweet wagon.
Just to clarify… does America not have shopping carts you unlock with coins?

Yeah, Aldi and Lidl do. But it’s arguably a thing they brought over from Europe. Most other retailers and grocers don’t do it.
That said, Tucker has lived in towns with Aldi stores, but that guy is a sentient boat shoe. I can’t imagine he shops for himself at the local Aldi.
Citation needed for “sentient”. He could be remote controlled by Putin.
We do at aldi, and have indoor cart escalators too. Not everywhere, mind you.

No idea, they are very common where I live (not US)
