This is pretty standard in most shopping centers. I'll post a photo if anyone is interested.

They have ramped travelators connecting it to the ground floor. The moving floor of the travelators appears to be a specially grooved rubber, which is a perfect fit for the flanged wheels of the trolleys (shopping carts). You just walk onto the travelator pushing your trolley, and the wheels lock into position. They don't move an inch until you get to the top, where the metal off-ramp is angled to force the trolley wheels up and out of the grooves. Magic! (PS. I saw the same system in a hypermarket in Paris in 1994.) One of my local supermarkets here in England has a second storey. They have ramped travelators connecting it to the ground floor.

I know it has around were I live (France), and we have that kind that adjust to shopping cart or shopping basket, and another system that have holes on the shopping cart wheels and bittsy things on a ‘flat’ elevator, they connect and block the wheels so that you can take your shopping cart with you.

But they've been around for a while. Ironically, the first time I saw a shopping cart escalator was at the Bed Bath and Beyond in Manhattan in 2002. I now work at Target Corporate and yes, we have one in downtown Minneapolis. It is a cool idea. But they’ve been around for a while.
