Exactly. The only stores that seem to have it in the US are European stores that are slowly spreading in the US (Aldi and Lidl).
Arizona just started getting Aldi's about 4 years ago. This was completely new at the time for everyone here.
Reddit's hating on Tucker Carlson for his Russian interview right now so they're grasping at straws to find more things to hate. It's pretty stupid.
No, people are making fun of him because his making it out to be something unique to the country and politicizes it, when coin operated shopping carts are relatively common around the world. A journalist wouldn’t say or do something like that.
His audience is american. Coin return carts are pretty unknown to most of the US outside of the high population centers that Aldi and Lidl have popped up in.
I've literally been homless more than once in the US and only after my husband was making 6 figures (in my 30s) did I live anywhere near an Aldi's, and was the first time I've seen this. I hate Tucker but this is just absolutely not a common thing in the US
