You may have noticed over the past few years that the grocery stores have become overrun with these.
This smaller version of the standard shopping cart seems to be have something to say on behalf of the person using it. "What do you take me for," it says, "some kind of full-cart-pushing consumerist?"
Note that this particular cart contains reusable bags, as if the shoppers are all prepared to go through the store carefully selecting their organic produce and handful of other items, which cannot possibly be placed into those wasteful plastic bags, before strolling back out to the parking lot and loading the groceries in their hybrid car. Wait a second...
Hmm...Have you ever thought it would be a good idea to poke fun at something and then realized that you're mocking your own life? Yeah, me either.*
*I guess my real point here is that looks can be deceiving...even when they are absolutely right.

Now that is a nice looking cart.
We don't have those here yet. Bloody England, honestly, it's like living in a 3rd world country sometimes.
We don't even have Klondike bars yet either, can you imagine how we suffer here?
This is actually a throwback to carts of yesteryear - they started as carry baskets, then a cart that held a carry basket, then two carry baskets - this is very similar to the third design. Cute!
We have those in the city, but I thought they were more because the aisles are so small and you can't really take home much more than what fits in there by hand.
