Walmart is changing shopping carts at its 4,600 stores nationwide.

The new shopping carts feature cup holders, popular among Stanley Cup fans, and an area to place cell phones or a shopping list.

But while most customers are enjoying the extra convenient storage, another trait of the new carts is inconveniencing customers.

The handlebars of the new strollers are placed 3.5 inches higher.

The child seat has also been increased from 32 inches to 37.8 inches.

These changes are proving unpopular with small shoppers.

“If you’re short on cash, avoid new carts at Walmart,” wrote one on X.

Wal-Mart hate short people”, another enraged.

“O carts they are very loud and uncontrollable! I won’t shop there again.”

“Your new carts They’re horrible!” said a third X of the user.

“They are very tall! There were several people inside, who had difficulty pushing them.

“I think short people shouldn’t push carts in the store? Get some regular carts back”, they demanded.

A Walmart spokesperson said Business Insider, the new design aims to improve the shopping experience for customers.

The average Walmart store has between 600 and 800 carts, while some Supercenters have up to 2,000.

MORE WALMART COMPLAINTS

The new carts aren’t the only source of anger from Walmart customers.

The retailer has begun blocking self-checkout at select stores for Walmart+ and Spark Drivers subscribers only.

Although some kiosks remain open, some shoppers claim there are not enough staff to accommodate customers who don’t pay for their subscription, causing long lines and wait times.

Some customers are abandoning carts full of purchases out of frustration.

Walmart shoppers are also angry about the store’s switch to digital price tags.
