Sure miss the days when people were "just" themselves on TV (even a CEO, gasp!) and didn't try to impress someone. Mr. Goldman impressed with his brain. What a concept!
My grandfather told me a story about when his mother's family visited Charlotte, NC from a rural part of the state. One of his aunt's had never seen a shopping cart and was scared. This was probably in the 1930s or 1940s.
Here’s to shopping carts! I miss the chrome ones. Don’t care for the chunky plastic ones now. In 1937 My grandmother was not a house wife, but a wife, and business owner. Lol Even back then. Not all women who shopped grocery stores were housewives. But, the one thing unlike working women of today. She would never have gotten triggered, nor angry to be called a housewife. Pride, and ‘ME’ were not yet something to bang a drum about. Common sense, and self respect ruled the day.
I'm from Oklahoma. Moved to Aspen, CO where I met Mrs. Goldman. Yes.. The Goldman's did not always live in Oklahoma. My children went to school with the grandchildren of the Goldman's. Mrs. Goldman wore a gold necklace shaped like a shopping cart because that's how they became wealthy and "got out of Oklahoma".
@@malindaallinson5749 Their son and his family moved to Aspen, so they could have spent time there, but they never lived anywhere but Oklahoma. If you insist they did, I would be interested in seeing proof of it.
So if you're watching Charles kuralt right now.... do yourself a favor..... watch Norm Macdonald imitating him... you will not be disappointed.... you can thank me by passing it on
I just want to know what happened to Kevin Ray Keasly(?), the almost 2 years old boy in the Safeway. He’d be about 48 now, in 2024 Are you out there Kevin? How has life treated you? Do you still enjoy riding in shopping carts?
And with this invention, Cart Narcs would become an important part of society decades later, teaching people to pick up after themselves and not be lazybones.
I've listened to Adam Carolla's podcast, on and off for years now. Lately, I have been barreling through the ones that appeal to me from this year (2022). Anyway, I had never heard of Cart Narcs until last week, when Adam had the dude from that show on the program. Pretty funny stuff. It would be an easy enough find on You Tube, as Adam's podcast is presented here as well.
(4:35) "Almost everybody but you thought women were gonna go on shopping with a basket on their arms forever." (Not "people", just "women". Wow.) But I do love the humility in Goldman's answer to the last question. (7:15) He's of course correct.
"Almost everyone but you thought women would go on shopping with a basket on their arms forever." The hate mail they would get for that comment today would break the internet.
3:37 and 3:45, those dumb "folding" shopping carts. Model 888 of some company (can't dig up much on-line yet). Meant to go over the check-out counter but I cannot remember exactly how they worked. I know we no longer saw them in the '80s. Wondering if that's the main reason my mom didn't like the local Giant chain much back then.
I loved riding on the bottom of those when I was younger. But I think they went out of style due to capacity and possible health issues for cashiers due to repetitive reaching and bending when unloading them.
@@willinmilwaukee But for us, they slipped over a slightly lowered counter for the cashier. So it would be right there, easy access. But I don't recall how you moved them on from there - that's probably why they didn't last. Not easy to get from cashier load to customer load and leave.
My father and I used to watch Charles Kuralt ... every Sunday morning. Watching this reminds me of my youth.
I sure do miss that man
I’m so grateful to have lived when he was around and looked forward to his series every week
I love stories like this.
Hard to believe they weren't an instant hit. Being born in 69 I dont recall a day without them. As a child I loved to ride in them.
Just another piece of America that we take for granted.
Charles Kuralt has a wonderful way about him...could dine with kings but not a pretentious bone in his body.
Sure miss the days when people were "just" themselves on TV (even a CEO, gasp!) and didn't try to impress someone. Mr. Goldman impressed with his brain. What a concept!
YES. REAL PEOPLE!!!
When I was a Little Kid, Charles Kuralt was on SUNDAY MORNING.
I Thank God for This Man!!!!!!!!
Great story! Still miss you on TV, Charles....📺
I love shopping carts.
The hero of homeless people across the country. (been there, done that)
What a fantastic story.
little Kevin with the binky is in his 40s now!
When journalism was up close, personal, and professional. We had Charles, Bill Kurtis, and Huell Howser.
I guess I owe my first car to this guy, since I worked as a bag boy at Winn Dixie to earn the money.
Down here in the South they're called Buggys.
This is so interesting!
"Past the beautiful receptionist."
Beckala67 I know, what a dated view.
Yes, no one can compliment appearances anymore in media, unless it is someone of the same gender and then it is so revolutionary.

And to Think, If Mr. Goldman Hadn't Invented that Shopping Cart, We Wouldn't have SUPERMARKET SWEEP.
Just imagine what Walmart would be like.
And now we’re back to the smaller style like the original.
Not a Costco.
Throw back for real!

That's not true. He and his wife were born in, lived in, died in, and are buried in Oklahoma.

Kuralt. Kept more people out of church than any other American!

Does anyone know where I can find the Charles Kuralt “Dairy Queen “ video?
I just want to know what happened to Kevin Ray Keasly(?), the almost 2 years old boy in the Safeway. He’d be about 48 now, in 2024
Are you out there Kevin? How has life treated you? Do you still enjoy riding in shopping carts?
The segment featuring baby Kevin begins here 4:01 in case anyone is curious.
3:26 does anyone knows how long a patent last?
imagine the money made from just Walmart alone...........
wow
I wonder how 48yr old Kevin is doing today?
Folding Basket Carrier Narcs just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Any chance you upload Jan 25 1977 episode of Who's Who?
He may have invented the Shopping Cart but Adam & Eve surely invented the Buggy

Affordable electric refrigeration and improved packaging meant people could buy more.
omnipop yes, back then it was indeed the women doing the shopping.
@@tedbkd1 And now, even millennials (like myself) can do their own shopping.
He said “housewives”
What would life be like if you were only able to buy what you could carry?
why is this recommended to me after they found the shopping cart serial killer 💀
if the Cart Narc is Luke Skywalker, this dude is Darth Vader
"Almost everyone but you thought women would go on shopping with a basket on their arms forever." The hate mail they would get for that comment today would break the internet.
Don’t forget the part when he said “ housewives would hold there cart like this” ....
He would be suspended and later fired for that horrific comment today
The kid riding underneath wouldn't be allowed today someone might get hurt. People are too safety conscious today !
He said this is how house wives would hold the cart like this.... sign of the times...
I know, now its hard to find a woman that maintains a home and weights under 150 pounds.

Was it United Steel & Wire?
Now shopping carts suck
Notice he wasn't driving the motor home.
At the beginning of the video ,he gets out of the motor home.
No need for shopping carts Anymore ..the next 5-10 years .. amazon will deliver all of are grocery’s lol .. online..
True....we are doomed.
Not mine. I like to physically select the groceries I buy.
Weak! Very weak!
