My Wal-Mart was still using the small, metal carts with the "Wal*Mart Discount City" phrase on that plastic child seat thing up until last year.

Here's a Wal-Mart Discount City cart I found at the Red White & Blue thrift store in Berlin, NJ.

The local JOB LOT store stole a few carts from Walmart. Rather than return the carts to the stores they came from they steal any carts that are left on their property.

We don't have Ocean State Job Lot's where I live. There's Big Lots, and we used to have Odd Job, that closed about 2 years ago. I think I saw some Bradlees baskets in there once...

A.C. Moore re-uses some in some of their locations. Here's one with a poorly filed-off logo:

That's because Walmart didn't want them anymore, so they put them up for auction. Same goes for the metal ones, too. Including ones that could be considered "current" by modern Walmart standards.

Instores are making their way to the U.S. The differences between these ones and their Canadian counterparts is the absence of the WALMART embossing on the side and an American ASTM-2372 warning label on the seat flaps. Also of note is the presence of the Walmart logo, something that was dropped in the orange Pickup era. Seen at #2146 in Amsterdam, NY.
