If you can push it around the shop full of things, you can put it back while empty.
This is such hot garbage. Like I'm sorry but people stare and laugh when I bring my wheelchair to the store but then stand to reach a shelf. I've so often barely finished shopping out of exhaustion
Have to take a break after entering the store. Have to take a break halfway through. Have to take a break before check out. Have to take a break before parking lot. Take a longer break recouping in the car because groceries are fucking heavy with a spinal fracture.
Just because someone CAN do a given task doesn't mean they can do it to the ability level of everyone else. Nor can they do it without longterm consequences, yes I can walk a few blocks, but I'll be unable to move at all the next three days.
If someone says they can't do something because of physical limitations, leave them the fuck alone about it and accept people struggle in unseen ways.
I sincerely hope you never dislocate your knee and still have to go shopping.
You know I actually have dislocated my knee twice. Still have never done that though.
To clarify, you were doing the shopping yourself? With the dislocated knee? Because that's literally what they are saying happened. Not that they dislocated it once and then never returned the carts again. They say clearly below that they are fully mobile and return the carts now. So do you really want to stand by what you're saying?
Of course. What else could I mean?
Well, I can think of at least two other interpretations off the top of my head, but I'm not really interested in explaining them to you.
At the end of the day, not everyone's dislocated knee is the same. Doubling down on your position of "oh yeah? Well I got a dislocated knee, too, buddy, and I was still able to function!" is incredibly embarrassing for you, from my perspective.
I've never not returned a cart myself.
Sorry you're such a butthurt loser over a person with a severe injury not returning their shopping cart to the corral. You sound like someone who is terrible to be around. Please never address me again.
Maybe that wouldn't happen if people didn't leave shopping carts around to bump into and fall over.
Or at least ask a passer-by?
If my knee was hurt so much I couldn't walk right, I wouldn't be driving a car either.
Groceries are expensive, should they just cost a $100 more for the disabled? Cause that's what round-trip Uber costs when you don't live in a city that doesn't have adequate public transportation.
Even when the bus runs it's another physical barrier to carry all those groceries. All this on top of your physical limitations making every other everyday tasks difficult and exhausting.
I'm much more talking from a community standpoint. I would ask family or neighbours to help.
I'm thinking of a different cost factor as well. If one's knee is so badly hurt that walking 100m is a serious debate, I imagine it isn't as useful in an emergency brake situation.
So getting groceries might not cost 100$ more, it might cost one's life.
Not everyone has people they can rely on, homie. At a certain point just accept that there can be a genuinely good reason for not returning a cart instead of doing mental gymnastics to justify a crazy "no tolerance" policy. Literally all that is being asked is that you take that other commenter at face value: it's not always a 100% judge of character. In the first place, the idea of it being a judge of character is a meme, a joke- anyone with actual character would acknowledge that and also acknowledge that they don't always know everything and there are exceptions to every rule..
Not everyone has the luxury of not driving themselves despite whatever pain they have. There's not always a passerby around, and besides, some people just fucking suck (looking at the driver who pulled over for my sibling when their face was caved in during an accident which resulted in like over 60 nose surgeries or something. Said driver literally said "I don't have time for this, sorry" and left. Didn't even call emergency services for them).
