As you can see it’s shiny new and still has its packaging on it. It’s was so smooth and quiet!

I wonder what it tastes like.
I imagine it tastes like sweet sweet covid.
Brand new and already has rust. Classic.
I wonder if they know that spot is prone to rust so that’s actually grease to help prevent it.
That’s a great thought however this specfic cart had a couple small spots of rust the one pictured is the worst. It’s winter here which is pretty rough on these.
In fairness this probably sat outside for 6m waiting to be put together. It’s also winter here so it’ll speed it up.
OPs reaction is how I envision my parents reacted to my birth:
“Oh she’s so shiny and new and still has the packaging on! She’s so smooth and quiet!”
Little did they know the busted, loud, dirty ho I would one day become.
My parents would say: “oh, you were so cute. [pause] What happened?”
Psh, Imma say you grew up to be even cuter!
<3
Very kind for someone who never met or even saw me. :)
Steal it.
Steal it…? No no no, I’m not a criminal
Borrow it
Permanently
Far to much work in the middle of a massive ice storm
All this time and making the front page was this easy!?
It’s a new site man not reddit where this would have died. It’s something that is by all definition mildly interesting ESPECIALLY to those of us past our kinder ages.
This makes me uncomfortable. Can you bend the wheels a little to make it better?
My little ones reaction was “I miss the bumps they felt funny” lol
Haha. Fun, rhythmic ride that’s so bumpy it’s almost like a roller coaster vs no stimuli grocery shopping
I’m on their side 100% 2/10. Would not sit in basket
Show off
Do all 4 wheels spin? NA is waaay behind when it comes to shopping cart tech.
IKEA carts do that. I both love it and hate it sometimes.
Gotta do the old cart spin, the wife hates it because I’m “knocking over children and old people”, but nothing beats seeing that KALLAX do the ol’ 800 gon spinaroo :italian_hand:
I hate it. I almost never want my cart to go sideways and it takes so much effort to keep the thing rolling straight.
Carts with four swiveling casters are so much harder to steer. Rigid rear and swivel front is the better configuration.
Some are not yet ready to ascend to the glory of omnidirectional movement.
I guess they’re good for a core workout?
At Costco in the UK they have them like this one where the back wheels don’t spin and it’s infuriating. The technology exists, use it
A guess is that the ones that dont turn, are meant to go on escallators (or whatever you call those escalator ramps).
The wheel rims slot into the escalator surface and stops them from rolling, like brakes. If the wheels could turn, there mayde is a higher risk of them not stopping on the ramps
No, Ikea carts have both four-wheel swiveling and can go on the travellator.
OK - my theory did not hold 👍
I also just now noticed that OP has shared a picture of a cart with stiff rear wheels and no brakes
Yupp! Flawless haven’t seen new carts in 20ish years so I was thrilled.
Did you do the push and ride?
Push test I did but I’m the guy you see videos of when the cart decides it wants to play rodeo lol
This just looks like a normal shopping cart?
Walmart Carts infamously have 3 kinda working wheels and 1 that likes to just do its own thing. This bad boy had 4 wheels working flawlessly not needing to be forced in any direction.
just recently read how much those cost and damn, you really got a treat today
It’s rusty
Yah that’s pretty normal where I’m from. If you can get away without something rusting it’s because you’re keeping up with the preventative maintenance around the clock.
It’s weird that a new one is metal. Places switched to the plastic ones because people were stealing and scrapping the metal ones.
