Abstract
A shopping cart includes a wheeled base and a basket. The basket is supported above a wheeled base and includes a hook. The basket defines a compartment, a top mouth open to the compartment, and an open slot positioned below the top mouth. The open slot is defined between a top edge and a bottom edge thereof, and the bottom edge is positioned opposite the top edge. The hook downwardly depends from the top edge of the open slot toward the bottom edge of the open slot to a free bottom end of the hook. The hook is configured to selectively receive a handle of a bag after the handle of the bag is wrapped around a portion of the basket defined between the open slot and the top mouth of the compartment, such that the bag selectively hangs along an outside surface of the basket opposite the compartment.
