Tucker is not widely traveled. If he was he would know that grocery stores in Canada charge for shopping carts

I feel privileged to have never seen this before either. Our shopping is limited to five states where we have yet to see this. I suspect this sort of thing is where theft of carts is common. We live in a low crime red state.

Been buying groceries for some 50 years now....never, not once, have I had to pay a quarter for a cart in the US.

I’ve never seen carts requiring a coin in a supermarket before, either, and I’ve lived in a lot of states.

They’ve been at airports forever, though.

Honestly I’ve never seen a return deposit feature for shopping carts, but then again I’m in a deep red area far from democrat cities where it far more likely people steal shopping carts.

If you go to the home page of Aldi there is some 500 stores in the UK alone where the story is from let alone the other countries where they have stores, so yes they are rather common in areas that are not in the USA.

What is noticeable is that they never have a shopping cart mess like other stores, there is only one strip mall in our smaller city in MI that have a couple big boxes and a few other national stores. However some of these stores have pig shoppers who leave their carts in the next spot (often in snow) which you cannot use and are too lazy to put the cart in a caddy 20’ away. At Aldi’s it is just a 25¢ refundable deposit for a short time. We go to their store about once a month just to avoid lazy slobs LOL. One wouldn’t know this unless you have been to one, I stand with Tucker on this!

Tucker Carlson mocked for bewilderment over Russian shopping carts that include common feature

It is not common in the US but it is in the UK. The incentive is for the users to return them to a single point rather than leaving them scattered all over the car park.

The largest common coin in the US is the quarter which is not as big an incentive to return the cart.

Tucker should do a montage of all the leftist outlet attacks on him for the interview.

That is the real story; how the groupthink mindguards are all coordinated.

Rush was great at the montage. Think he invented it.

Not that it matters one bit, but this isn’t very common.

The more important takeaway is that this obviously entry level urinalist has her marching orders and that is to attack Carlson. She’s only able to bite around the ankles but she’s doing her masters bidding.

I’ve lived in 10 states and have never seen this feature.

its actually NOT common in the US. I remember being surprised by it when I first saw it in Europe in the early 1990s.

I’m sure it exists somewhere in the US, but I’ve lived in 8 different states and have never seen it on this side of the pond.

Y’all, I think the point is that this isn’t some Putin-inspired innovation to deal with the homeless. Quibble with “common” all you want. Fact is, this feature is all over Europe and in over 2300 locations in about 40 U.S. States. If Tucker lives in FL, I can almost guarantee his limo has driven by some. There are over 200 Aldi locations in Florida. That’s enough to know they exist and aren’t some Russian innovation.
