do we need to start more polls to figure out obvious answers?

'what color is the sky?'

'how much is 10 divided by 2?'

'do you like pizza?'

worked in a grocery store as a kid, one boss called them buggies. it was funny.

When I was a bag boy as a teenager, I had a manager that referred to them as buggies as well.

My wife calls them wagons.

When I was a kid we called them carriages. I am not sure if that was my mom's Ohio roots or a weird Long Island thing. I think it's an Ohio thing.

Now I use shopping cart or carriage interchangeably.

I hear "bascart" occasionally.  I have never heard any of these other terms other than cart.

 

[skol asylum]

Are you people that call it a carriage or buggy from jolly old England? Never heard It called anything other than a cart.

There's some real #### you can blame Ohio for... but this ain't one of them.

What people in Ohio get wrong with grocery stores is calling them possessive (e.g. Kroger's and Meijer's)

Buggy is pretty common in the South.  We do it to piss @OrtonToOlsen off.

Yep - definitely heard buggy from my Mom and others.  I've never heard wagon, carriage or trolley though.

NW.... way the hell up in the corner. Maybe they got it from somewhere else and brought it there.
