I love the ramp style escalators no stairs to trip up little ones and elderly people and you can take your cart right with you.. Ikea in US and Menards home improvement stores have these, but most sores in US with carts are only one story.

We have a two story Target where there is an escalator for cats to go down, but we usually park on the top level of the barty garage, the same level as the top level. Actually, the bottom level has nothing but elevators and escalators. And my mom would make us take the elevator anyway.

IKEA in Schaumburg, IL has this. No idea if other Ikea's do this.

For a second, I thought it said 'just for cats' and was like what? Then I realized.

Well, in France we have escalators for both people and carts. It's not stairs, just slopes with magnets for the carts wheels.

Been here!! Some of the Menards stores (here in Minnesota) also have escalators you can take your carts on too.

I like it when parking garages have each level as a color or animal or whatever. Makes it so much easier to remember where I parked if I'm looking for level blue or the FOX level.

From Sweden...I was at a grocery store where we tried it out. They had installed two checkout lines for it. About 90% went through fine, but 10% didnt so someone had to come help anyway. On the other hand most grocery stores have portable bar readers we use to ”blip” our purchases and then checkout at the end.

So you see how this works is, you pull the tab and there is a small hole bored there, with a small piece of the coconut husk protecting it still and all you do is push a straw into it and drink the coconut water out of it! I just saw some videos on YT on how this works. Very neat!

Not sure about this. In Australia it would need a LOT of insulation against the heat, or active electrical cooling.
