About
A wheeled metal basket that stands about waist-high to haul groceries through store aisles.
Cart dimensions vary depending on the store, ranging from compact express carts to heavy flatbed models built for home improvement centers. A standard supermarket version holds roughly 40 to 60 gallons of goods, while shallow two-tier designs offer about half that volume. Despite their open wire design, their steel frames add enough heft to keep them balanced even when packed with groceries.
From Wikipedia
A shopping cart, trolley, also known by a variety of other names, is a wheeled cart supplied by a shop or store, especially supermarkets, for use by customers inside the premises for transport of merchandise as they move around the premises, while shopping, prior to heading to the checkout counter, cashiers or tills.
