Origin of the word shopping trolley

The term "shopping trolley" originated in the United Kingdom in the middle of the 20th century as a replacement for the earlier term "basket boy" that had been used to describe a store employee who helped shoppers carry their goods to their cars or homes. The initial design of the shopping trolley, also known as a supermarket cart, was patented in the United States in 1937 by Sylvan Goldman, a grocery store owner in Oklahoma City. However, it wasn't until the 1950s that the trolleys became a common sight in UK supermarkets, as part of an effort to improve the shopping experience for customers. The term "shopping trolley" reflects the way the carts were designed to move easily and quickly around the store, allowing shoppers to load up large quantities of goods without the need for assistance. The name also highlights the fact that the trolley is specifically intended for use during shopping trips, rather than as a general-purpose cart. Over time, the design of shopping trolleys has evolved to include features like built-in seats, child restraints, and removable baskets, making them a more versatile and convenient tool for shoppers. Today, the concept of the shopping trolley has spread to supermarkets and stores around the world, helping to make the process of buying groceries and other goods faster, more convenient, and more enjoyable for shoppers everywhere.
