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..
