I'll stand by the double decker cart. More capacity than hand basket (plus easier on the arms), works well for a two person household on a weekly grocery schedule, usually just enough space, not too big, not too small, and increased maneuverability around people standing in the aisle.

I actually really like the shallow carts, because you don't have to reach so far down to put things in the bottom gently, nor to get them back out. If you're getting too much for a basket, but not enough for the deep cart, it's the most convenient and pleasant to use! E: Chat was on it!
11:05 Trial at the Hog made me imagine a system whereby your innocence is determined by your skill at wrestling a hog. Which I personally think should be implemented in all countries.
The European is the best of both worlds between baskets and carts. They’re nimble, good turning. Light capacity but what you lose in space you gain in accessibility. Heavily underrated
At my work (I legally can't say where) we went with the double decker shopping cart as they give the largest volume to floor space ratio. We can fit about twice as many double decker carts as we can traditional carts. Also those things handle really well and are built really well. The only maintenance we've had to perform on them is to clean out the bits of detritus that gets caught on the inner side of the wheel. The problem with the modular basket is that adding the extra handle and wheels makes them weight much more then the standard basket. The extra size and weight makes them really inconvenient to stack. We could only stack 6-12 modular baskets (depending on specific model) before the stack would become unstable and fall over. We actually got rid our modular baskets at my work because we could stack 100 normal baskets in the same space as 12 modular baskets. Those ikea bags are absolutely amazing. We have a very limited supply of them and never offer them to customers. The only way to buy one is to use the secret code.
FYI the green plastic thing was formerly sold by Canadian supermarket chain Loblaws. The box perfectly fits inside of the top part of the "bougee" shopping cart. Other than that they are EXTREMELY impractical except for using them to replace cardboard boxes at Costco.
19:00 Ok so hear me out.... these have been life savers for me. I kinda high-key stan these trolleys. Absolutely SSS+ tier. When you're getting big heavy items, having them at a good arm height, where they're not difficult to get in and out of a deep trolley is actually life changing. Wanna take out the big heavy item? It's already at chest height that you wanna hold it at. Try lifting a HUGE slab of bottled water from a deep trolley... Like, go ahead. NL: *"With that logic, the double decker is superior"* Incorrect, the top part on the double decker can't fit as many bigger items. I will 1v1 verbal battle anyone over this. Consider me invested.
TBH, it’s a basket, but for the elderly. Not saying it isn’t convenient, but the volume is too low to use as a trolley for big shopping needs like huge slabs of bottled water.
When you live walking distance from a grocery store, a basket is a good proxy for what you can comfortably carry home (and helps keep you to that limit)
I once worked at a grocery store that had a kind of shopping cart I've never seen anywhere else. It had a relatively shallow, high-set rectangular basket with a gate on front that could fold down. That meant the cashier could easily reach into the basket and pull each item out, since it was level with the scanner. It worked really well.
I'll say this in defense of the two-tier cart: my mom and I used to go shopping together regularly when we had our own apartments before we moved back in together and having a tier each for our groceries was superior to having to re-sort at the checkout. As for shared purchases like when we'd split a big chub of ground beef, we'd just put it on one person's bill and then split the cost later, or roughly balance the shared purchases between the bills.
I don't understand the hand basket argument. Maybe it's because I find my arm being in a constant curling position for holding the standard basket uncomfortable. But I prefer handles being parallel with the long side, it keeps your arm at a natural untwisted orientation while keeping the short side parallel to your body's width. Also look at literally any rigid bag, the handles are always oriented this way, purses, totes, reusable store bags, paper bags with handles, etc.; plastic bags are a bit hard to judge here, they're non-rigid, and really the only break to this argument, though it can be argued that the non-rigid opening is circular in nature, and that the bag will naturally form a spheroid when filled with a non-rigid material, otherwise conforming to the shape of it's contents. Plus a long-handled basket has more potential for weight balancing, assuming they have proper handles and not a center-only handle.
Thank you for saying exactly what I was thinking. I always find the standard baskets hitting my leg because I want to hold them like a shopping bag. Fully agree about the handles from the ends providing complete stability
Chat was absolutely losing it when NL said that he never puts produce/meat in plastic bags, it was hilarious. I truly think that he made some chat members realize that putting produce in a produce bag, then in another plastic bag, only to throw both bags away, is extremely wasteful.
Who the heck throws away the plastic bags?! You use those as garbage can liners for the little waste baskets around your house, and the produce bags are made of the cheapest plastic I've ever seen, there's no way that's not biodegradable in this day and age. Further, you have to weigh the produce at most stores, so you can either be civil and put it in a bag so that nobody has to weigh your 25 carrots and have them roll off the scale and onto the unwashed floor, or you live a life of crime and sin like Ryan does over here. I will die on this hill, Ryan is in the wrong here.
TBF, the image is small and Home Depot does have carts like those but they're usually a solid flat bottom and not a wire mesh like the Costco ones. But he should have known when the item in the cart was a large TV - Home Depot ain't selling TVs.
I honestly think the tier-list era was 1) one of the best periods of the entire channel 2) ended too soon. All hail the tier-list renaissance. P.s. I still hope that some day NL will gift us with the complete la croix tasting gauntlet.
The smaller double decker cart is S tier. They always drive better than the large carts and you can navigate between the large carts easier with it. Also less worry to run into someone with a smaller cart since you can look around corners with it better than the large cart. The green superstore box is only meant to be in the back of your car so you unload the cart into it and carry it all into your house at once when you're at home. It doesn't go in the store with you. It's not cloth it's plastic.
Those giant hybrid baskets with the two handles are a nightmare. In Denmark we have single handle small baskets which are just right. Although they are being phased out for the humongous hybrid baskets, probably to encourage people to buy more stuff. A single radish and 800 eggs is fine thanks.
I never knew this about myself but apparently I'm a small cart stan; I never need so much space that I would use a proper-sized trolley, but sometimes I need a little more than a basket. Also they're kinda cute.
The amount of commentary this man has about carts is impressive on it's own, I do however disagree with most of his takes. Very entertaining, I was yelling at my screen the whole time.
Everyone is saying it but it’s so true, the capability this man possesses to spin content out of mere threads is incredible. We are truly in the guldan age of egg.
I went into this being a 100% cart person, but NL's loose produce arguement sold me on the usefulness of a basket. I always get the bag for my produce because you can't put loose produce in your cart, but the basket solves that mostly
The high cart is amazing imo. They brought them in at our local supermarket and at first nobody used them, but over time they gained traction and now they have like five rows of the high carts and just two of the normal ones. Not bending down is better than it sounds at first, and the wheels on them are much better. All the wheels pivot so you can push them sideways which makes them much more maneuverable so there are a lot less issues with bad driving. If I'm getting an amount of groceries that can fit in the high cart I'm getting the high cart (unless I only need a basket.) Also here in New Zealand we only have plastic baskets, I've never seen a metal one before. The holes in the basket are small enough that nothing can fall through too. Thought that was interesting.
The Home Depot boats are meant to turn using only the center wheels, and the front and back wheels are only there to give the thing something to roll on depending on which side is heavier. For what they're used for, they're remarkably well-designed, but certainly not something you'd naturally be able to use.
I am so pumped. I know Ryan has a lot of opinions about this and I aswell am quite opinionated. Big rolling basket is the worst. Small separated cart is top tier.
A bit late, but adding to the discussion. The small carts are not really suitable for people in their prime unless they want to try play the "I'll limit myself to what I can fit in this cart" game. The double basket small cart is much better for mobility (because it's layered on top of each other instead of being long) and is the preferred cart for many of my older customers due to the fact that it takes less effort to turn them. Plus the top part is convenient for them since it's higher up, so they don't have to bend down to grab stuff from it. My store used to have the flat ones but with a bottom part so barring storage capacity, they were better than the normal shopping cart in mobility due to the decrease in weight, and just like the double basket cart, it's easier to grab things from the cart.
I have used and quite enjoyed carts styled like the 3rd one while visiting greenhouse/garden centers, but I do still want them to have a bottom tray for bags of soil mix etc.

Bruh, sometimes I like to push it because it requires DISCIPLINE.
You can do both though, which just makes it better that nl argues with chat about it.

NL is right about putting fruit/veg straight into the basket. It's just so much less hassle.
