That's exactly what I'm talking about! For a while I didn't take it to the
store because I didn't know what to do with it when I got there. In "the old
days", you could leave the cart at the front of the store and it would still
be there when you checked out. No more. By this time my mother had gotten a
new cart of her own, and the newer carts have hooks on them to attach them
to the front of the store cart. Not so with my antique. But I found it fits
quite comfortably in the bottom of the store carts.
