We have plenty. Millions and millions. Plus, since people used to take them far from their nesting places and dump them in canals and such, we usually have to put in a deposit coin to operate them.
Apparently an American invention, like indeed, supermarkets ( as opposed to department stores which were more a French/British thing ): Wikipedia
However they date in America from 1937, which is only just pre-WWII.
Funnily enough, many Japanese supermarkets don't have proper trolleys; they have mini-trolleys that you put your basket into, maybe with a flat area at the bottom for the mega-sacks of rice and stuff. Well, every one where I am anyway; the aisles are so narrow that you couldn't really maneuver a full-sized trolley around.

Trolley... never heard that name before. We call them shopping-carts here in the US, or at least the northern part of the East coast.

Yep, I don't doubt that. But when I said that, I was thinking like since Ship Girls are living in our era and know how to shop, they should have known at least what is a shopping cart. But I guess I'm just overthinking things, it's Herada Mitsuru style after all, no logic can be applied here, just simplistic things.

We have both in France but it depends of the supermarket. We also have baskets with wheel too.

Apparently, it's a word use mostly in other English country other than the US and Canada (following the Wiki link).
I'm tempted to put this in Nostalgia since I liked to do this as a child. Did anyone else ever sit in carts like that too?
I always loved to ride on anything that has rolling wheels. However I think this Warspite has been too noble that she had no need to go to any kind of store.
