US shopping carts vary widely. Costco's can fit a good 2 m^3 and 250 kg of products. The flat platform types can haul even more. These are in contrast to some pharmacy store carts are smaller than a hand basket.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 3y agoI will say that Costco’s baskets are definitely an outlier. When I go to Walmart, Target, Kroger, Safeway/Albertsons/Wegmans flavor of the day, all of those baskets are the same size. The vast majority of people in the USA shop with the roughly same full size wheeled cart or the handbasket in my experience. Perhaps a few cubic decimeters of variation but not much. I haven’t been everywhere in the States, but I have been to all of the contiguous ones and aside from the Costco cart, which is in fact larger, I have not seen much size variation beyond that. And the flat platform types, are you referencing the kind that are normally seen in Home Depot? The ones typically that go 6 inches from the floor and look like a pallet jack? With those again you can find them in Sam’s club and Costco but you won’t see them in a “typical” grocery setting
