As a bagger at a supermarket who occasionally has to get buggies/shopping carts here's somethings you who use them should know. When returning them, neatly distribute them between big shopping carts and larger ones. It's horrible to sort through them. And make sure each cart is pushed into the other. Also if you have children never grab the shopping carts that look like little cars and are for children. They're horrible in the checkout line and when bringing them into the store.

It's so pleasing to hear "carts" instead of "buggie" I can not take anyone that refers to to them as buggies seriously

I would like to know why the oxygen is written in the left side for the Hydroxide ion (OH−) but on the right side for dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) and oxonium ion (H3O+). I was sadly unable to make the formula correctly written because of the limits how to write comment. It's more a suggestion for a future video and comment if you agree on my idea for a video to support the idea.

I love this channel! :D It's nice to have a reliable source teach you something new in detail every single day!

Very interesting!

I'm honestly really surprised at how long it took for someone to come up with the idea for a shopping cart, and then even more surprised at how Goldman found it necessary to demonstrate how to use it so people could understand. It's a basket with wheels, it's probably the easiest bit of common sense out there...

Anyone else favor four casters over two on their carts? Gliding around in any direction just seems like the superior option.

@yvettief

7 жыл бұрын

PongoXBongo both have their advantages. Australia predominately uses the four caster, while it easy to maneuver in the store, its less easy in the parking lot (when full), especially if there's any kind of perpendicular slope to the cart/trolley.

Just a reminder to all. A shopping cart cost the store over $500.00 to buy. So if you remove the cart from the store it is theft over $500. In many places that is a felony subject to jail time and a felony record.

It's simple. It's a classical latin term, "Trui de kowa", which means "Tie the woman" because romans were fucking mysogynists.

So, who invented the carts designed with families with multiple children in mind? A couple of variations on this theme have existed over the years - one with a side-by-side kiddie car (with enclosed floorboard) mounted on the front, the other with a side-by-side high-chair of sorts mounted between the baby seat and the handlebar, the latter of which being suitable for older kids to ride in without getting stuck, both of which only being able to nest with regular carts on one end, the former being able to have normal carts nested into its back end, and the latter being able to nest into the back ends of normal carts.

Goldman's attitude is what defined our country's mentality if you have a problem you solve it, The US even when it comes to simple inventions like the shopping cart shows how far we are on the forefront of innovation and technology

This is an exciting subject! ;)

Wheeled shopping baskets appeared here in BC, Canada only a decade ago. For something with no new technology, it sure took a long time!

the real battle now is: all steering vs front steering vs back steering.

I just saw Leslie Nielsen having problems in removing a shopping cart from its file...he used a welder to remove it,ingenius!

Does anyone's local market use Flat shopping carts. Ones that are flat and shallow on top where when you go to the cashier there is no belt. You pull up and the cashier sort of lowers the front of the cart and pulls your groceries on of the basket. They also don't telescope the top flips up and then you nest them together. Our main market here, Giant Eagle, used them in I think the 80's for a few years but I haven't seen them anywhere since then.

Hello! Would it be possible for an episode about the origin of the lint roller? My family is under the impression a relative invented it, but I'm a bit unsure about that. Your input would be appreciated! Thanks and keep the good info coming!

Well, most people in Germany don't like to use them because supermarkets are too small and crowded to be able to push them around comfortably. Also, we tend not to buy huge amounts of groceries in one go...except maybe before holidays. Stupid supermarkets even designed the checkouts in a way that not having a cart is a major disadvantage and often causes delays....but to no avail. Took them years to cave to the customers will and introduce baskets again.

I like trademark law. At least, in theory. Patents and copyright is just way too restrictive, especially since companies can basically do anything to get it lengthened. But trademark law, if you don't use it you lose it, and you cannot trademark anything too general, which the other two don't seem to have a problem with.

@Huntracony

BB-8, I understand that, but life + 70 years and often longer? That is more than an incentive, that's holding back progress. Patent law is a bit better, 20 years, but that too is often extended by making minor modifications so it's new or whatever. By the way, I think you're exaggerating on how bad removing those laws would be. In fashion, for example, in general none of these laws apply (except for jewelry and a few others), yet you can't say the fashion market is dormant. I'm not advocating completely removing intellectual property laws, but I feel that the "don't use it you lose it" thing could benefit copyright and patent law too. That would be a real incentive for companies to keep innovating.

"Economically, copyright is done as an incentive for companies to fund Research and Development. If these laws didn't exist, no company would bother to develop new ideas as it can just be "legally stolen"." That's the idea, anyway, but is it really true? Does it *really* work as intended? And how does it justify such long copyright periods?

@kevinbooth-

Intellectual Property laws (note the usage) have been undermined by the very entities they were intended to protect against. Eternally renewed and requirements for cost prohibitive enforcement (TMs) make it so the Common Creator they were intended to protect are still fucked. In their absence, at least we would have unlimited sharing of information and the lowest cost goods possible, rather than the artificially restricted markets we have now. Patent Law and Copyright encourage investment but also restrict investment by those with few resources due to the cost of holding such rights. (Note: I do recognize Original IP law to be of value but the implementation has left us with no better a circumstance than without them)

What idiot would want to watch a video on shopping carts at 10:30 pm? me: OH BOY 10:30 PM

Goldman wasn't selling groceries. He was selling friendliness and convenience! It was a bold move to employ the very people (men) who, as part of society, were "independent" of help carrying the baskets to show how it was done. He was selling gallantry, chivalry, and independence aided and empowered by the new cart design. There's even a place for a wiggly child to attend to! Incidentally, who came up with the "child seat" in the push rail side of the car? And was this Goldman the one of Goldman-Sachs? Was he related? (his father seemed to have a hand in his patronage and start - up.) Or was he completely unrelated to this rich American company? It's good to know where the rich people's legacies came from, because those who build a better mouse trap often are avoid to take advantage of the market at the time and real great, deserved rewards. It is true, though, that from those to whom much is given, much is expected. And it is good to examine the lives of those lives of people who have risen on the savvy of inventors that read the needs of society and fed that market.

Goldman... The more you notice

such a simple design nobody knows about

Then follow with the little belts in front of and behind the cashier.
