Should the above tag be places on the main article page maybe? i think so. THE KING 07:21, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Poorly written sentence?
Some setup must be done in the HTML code of the website, and the shopping cart software must be installed on the server which hosts the site or on the secure server which accepts sensitive ordering information.
That doesn't make much sense.
[edit] Removed Content
An anon user added:
- "The poles that one uses to push the shopping carts are often stolen, as they are extremely durable and are often used as a street weapon. These are known as "trolley poles" or "cart poles"."
I have never heard of a pole used to push a shopping cart. If you can verify this statement, please rewrite it so everyone can understand it and re-add it to the article. -SCEhardt 23:05, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

- I think what he meant by pole is the shopping cart's handle.
[edit] Easy to manuever
Yeah its not exactly the most helpful edit, but I push carts in a wal-mart parking lot they are never easy to manuever, so I added quotes. --Eno-Etile 07:55, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
That section implied that All Four Wheels could swivel in any direction, which I modified- in store carts only the two front wheels swivel.Saxophobia 11:49, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
How many wheels swivel depends on where you live 84.65.121.218 12:30, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Electronic Theft
The electronic theft section sounds like an advertisement to sell a product, it either needs to be rewritten or removed entirely. I have already removed the authors name and his advertisement for his website --Pchov 11:55, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- Looking better, but it still needs some hard facts related to the theft protection of shopping carts. I removed the word "CartKey" from a newly added sentence in the theft section. The word itself has no meaning, it just sounds like a cleverly disguised advertisement for the Gatekeeper Systems (I believe they were the ones, or someone affiliated with them, who originally wrote the massive advertisement in this article not to long ago). --Pchov 19:41, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Haggard Move
A Shopping Cart also refers to a move or bad idea by Bam Margera. It involves getting in a Shopping Cart and someone pushing you into a curb or over a gap and you go flying as far as you can. No one should try it.

[edit] The Main Picture
I think the Main Picture should be of a average shopping cart, The current picture has Shopping Carts that are not typical. Matthew1990 07:18, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Online Shopping Cart
Could use a link, to a disambiguation page or something.
- Seconded, a disambiguation page or link to the electronic system with the same name is necessary in this day and age. dimo414 (talk) 03:45, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Too American
Too American! This has nothing about Europe or Australia and virtually nothing about Asia, where they are also used. It even refers to "foreign supermarket chains"! Shocking. -Locuteh —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.77.35.111 (talk) 23:03, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
