I’ve never seen chained shopping carts. How do customers use them?
They are chained together with coin operated locks. You piut your quarter in the slot and it releases your cart. When you return the cart, you stick the lock in it and it gives you your quarter back. I really hated them at first but came to appreciate them.
Link to videoI really hated them at first but came to appreciate them.
My cousin’s husband was in the grocery store business for over 40 years. A butcher by trade, he worked his way into management and worked all over British Columbia over those years. He told me that the chain and coin locks were not so much to deter theft but to provide customers an incentive to keep the parking lots tidy and free of carts in the way of traffic. Shopping centre property management companies and grocery store head offices were fed up with all the complaints and petty claims they were receiving for vehicle damage caused by loose carts in parking stalls and scattered all over the lots and public areas adjacent to the parking lot.

In the other hand, in my youth I would have considered the exchange of a quarter for an entire shopping cart to be a great deal! I never would have stolen one, but buy it for a quarter? You bet!

It's really sad how Carlson has gone off the rails.
Gotta wonder how much of it is just an act and he's trying to get clicks/views.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

He certainly seems to consider the Mexican invasion of the US to be a lot worse than the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
I was only joking

Yes, he does. And for a normal human being up until circa 50 years ago, throughout all of human history, concern for one's own society was obviously the priority. Now, it's reason to consider him unhinged.
Education is extremely important.

Did you watch the video? It was over 20 minutes.

It is obviously better planned.
We now have more than 11 million of these criminals here.
Making the case that we should stop this is good, not bad.

I don't think he's unhinged. I think he's a miserable excuse for a human being who is trying to distract us from the brutality of a despotic regime for some unclear reason of his own.
He's got an agenda. I find it interesting that other people seem to be teetering around buying into his bullshit.
Maybe if he saw the prices in Mexican supermarkets he'd start praising their culture too!

Some of us don't spend very many brain cycles second guessing whether we're buying into various bullshit, because some of us don't buy much of anything to begin with, at face value. This directly translates to being unafraid of hearing people out with what they have to say.
