I didn’t say I never saw it. I said it is not common. If it was, every metropolitan grocery chain would do it as opposed to having cart corrals and lot attendants.

I shopped at Aldi twice, didn’t buy anything, and don’t think I saw one celebrity or millionaire in the entire store.

It’s like telling someone from New Jersey that self serve gasoline is everywhere.

I recall Rush talking about how he had never been in a walmart in his entire life, pretty funny stuff. Man I miss that guy.

At our local dollar tree, they fasten a rod to the one corner of the shopping carts about 4 ft long so the cart will not fit out the door.

Count me in with Tucker. I have literally never heard of leaving a deposit on a shopping cart.

Criticized and mocked only by RINOs and commie trash.

The bit about coins for baskarts, nothing like that out thisaway in CaCaLand except in the airports. Only people living in blue city ‘Ellholes have experienced this.

As to his amazement, he was pointing out that inspite of all the chest thumping about sanctions — they are having no effect. None. They only hurt the West — which was the goal.

Ever since the HilaryHag cried Russian collusion there has been a complete cuttoff of anything in Russia. Just like you are not allowed to see anything in the MSM that might not be anti-Trump. Same goal — hide the truth.

I’m pushing 60, and I’ve seen that maybe twice.

Been buying my own groceries in actual grocery stores ever since I left home 35 years ago. Have lived in 4 states.

Have NEVER seen this feature.

That said, I’m not particularly impressed that such a feature exists somewhere.

“In the video, Carlson was amazed to see that the shopping carts in front of the supermarket required people to put in a ruble coin, which they’d then get back when the cart was returned.”

I’ve seen them in commonly in Europe, but then Tucker doesn’t live there and therefore likely never need to shop for groceries there.

I have NEVER seen that system in the US, though. Maybe it exists a bit now in California or the Northeast, who knows, I don’t live there.

Sounds to me like a typical anti-Trump-type HIT PIECE, since it cannot even be backed up by evidence.

The price of food is not based on employees wages alone.

You have the manufacture and distributor costs.

A big factor is energy and fuel rates.

Our purchasing power is going down thanks to O’Biden’s policies.

Been grocery shopping in the US for longer than I care to admit, last time being about a week ago, and I have never ever seen this, although I don’t recall ever being at an Aldi’s either.

I think they’ve only come into AZ in the last few years. I’ve heard of Aldi’s but never been in one.

Okay, so I checked out Aldi's . It's like the Dollar Store of groceries. After perusing their offerings I walked out without purchasing a thing. But it's a free country and folks can shop there if they want.

PathMark got these in the 90’s. They even gave out little red keys you could use instead of a quarter. They are not new in the US. Tucker is not one to let facts get in the way of his propaganda. He deserves all the ridicule he’s getting.

And wasn’t it one that could scan the entire cart at once?
