Easier to just carry the groceries in my arms, the last accessory I'd need for people to fully think of me as a serial killer would be random lenths of rope...
Or attach a leash. Just be sure to remind your cart that it’s a good boy/girl, clean up any messes it makes, and keep it away from the chocolate in the checkout line.
Only if they have the rear wheels fixed, like in the US. Otherwise, they're great at handling. You can even give em a push and watch them make a pirouette before you, grab the front grill and pull them behind you.
You seem to be ignoring Newton's Fourth Law of Motion:
Whenever you don't expect it (and often when you do), one wheel of a shopping cart will be completely fucked, making the whole thing a nightmare to maneuver.
what fancy ass market are you shopping where the top cart has so much handling? most of what I've seen has literally negative handling, they actively go another way.
To be fair, I'm way too big to fit into those drivers' seats. To get a true sense of the handling, we'd need to recruit some toddlers to test drive. I get the feeling they'd agree with you.
needs a fifth bar for "comfort". i had the middle one in my living room for week but had to get rid of it because it was the most cramp-inducing TV chair i've ever had. bottom one is probably better.
using your shopping tote you brought with you:
speed 10/10
handling 8/10
capacity 2/10
stealth: -10/10 (the loss prevention staff will be up your asscrack the entire trip)
Then there's my Safeway with the medium sized plastic ones that feel like they are about to fall apart when I put anything in the cart. I started just using the baskets the carts are so bad.

My grocery stores have these grocery rolling baskets and they're very convenient for small grocery trips
I hate these... as a tall person, I have a choice between cosplaying as Quasimodo, or letting that thing wreck my boot heels...
Bring a length of rope to extend the handle next time

Sometimes I just kick that basket around when I can't be bothered to reach for the handle, lol

The trouble of being tall o7
Lots of things are just built for average people so if you are short or tall you automatically get inconvenienced
As another tall person, I just let the front wheels float and extend my arm so the back wheels don't crash into my feet. It... Kinda works.
this is flatbed cart erasure
Handling has got to be negative on those things.
You start going and the weight distribution or ground is uneven and who knows what’s going to happen.
I think speed is mistaken for acceleration in this case. The top one is definitely faster even if it has low acceleration and poor off road wheels.
The top one needs to somehow have a negative value for handling.

It's more pithy in the original Neo-Latin 🤷
That’s even I throw the carts into the lake or push them down the hill behind the mall.
It’s the circle of life. I hear there’s a guy who sells them back to the mall.

I do that at IKEA all too often... 👀
Need a 5th stat: flair
This reminds me I should really play Nightmare Kart when I've got time
My supermarket has double decker versions of the small cart. Doubles the capacity in exchange for a slight ding to speed.

Grocery Outlet: Bargain Market
You missed the most important one
I can’t imagine the handling is truly that high, but I do agree that you found the superior cart.
Debatable, but agree to disagree.
Indeed

As the Internet was made for cats, I have to inform you that my cat curious about this meme. After looking, he chinned my phone. Good meta confirmed!
Top cart is a euro spec cart with swivels on all 4 wheels. By far the superior shopping cart.
Acceleration may be slower on the top one, but it sure does have speed in straight sections
The speed is based entirely on the bioengine provided and should not be counted!
Do not discount accumulated momentum!
The target karts are like a shiny version of the top one.
The Ikea shopping cart: maxed out everything.

Okay, but is greasing the wheels racing legal?
Is this an american joke i am too european to understand?
Needs those Costco ones that only have front wheel steering
The bottom shopping cart looks like the funnest one to use. Maybe if I have free time (and space), I’d love to make a larger version
