The riding carts that you find in stores should be used only by the elderly,?

Question

handicapped, and people with injuries, not the obese women who often pop themselves into them. We have a problem with that at my store. Who agrees??

Answer 1

AGREE !!
I cant tell you how aggrivating it is to hobble around on crutches because some thoughtless fat b.rd took the last working chair.

Answer 2

Well, yeah I don't think obese people should even be considered handicapped..I mean they did it to themselves. I was in wal-mart the other week and these two teenagers were riding those carts around the store and this lady that worked there got pissed and told them to get off. Things got carried away and it escalated into a full on fist fight..it was insane. So I think yeah, only handicapped, and people with injuries should ride them.

Answer 3

I believe that those things serve no purpose whatsoever. It makes those wide people seem even wider. Truly handicapped people provide their own mobility. The elderly don't know how to work the carts and they're always knocking things over and getting on my heels. The carts are an expensive motorized nuisance, and should be steered into the drainage ditch at the end of the parking lot and left there. .

Answer 4

I've never been in a store where they have those things... is it just an 'american' thing?
In countries I have been to, people just have their own ones. My Nana has one, I think I would rather like to ride around on it, whether I have a fat *** or not.

I think that would save a lot of problems. Those who think they need one, get their own. Yeah they're expensive, but hey, if you have a problem... do home shopping, or find some other means.

We cant rely on the world to supply ride on carts wherever we go.
I find it amusing when people feel they need a wheelchair whilst shopping or visiting some place. They managed to walk quite well to get there in the first place.

I don't care who uses them, it's when lazy asses (of any size) use the disabled parking spots... then I get frustrated.

Answer 5

I know it causes problems by having the carts used up and unavailable for those you named... but... you have to realize that obesity is considered a disease as well.

If the people have problems walking etc. then it's okay but if they're just lazy than it shouldn't be allowed.

How else do they expect to lose weight, as well?

Answer 6

i agree it is not right just because they are lazy, to see a big body squished into the confines of a little cart being formerly obese
myself but still am a bit, over weight, I never did it i would think to be squished in there would hurt, if you are that bad sit on a bench and have someone else do your shopping or else suffer through the walking it would be great exercise.

Answer 7

Ok my sister God Bless is obese due to a medical condition. She uses the carts your speaking of because her knees give out. You should be thankful that you do'nt have to look like that. also if someone large falls in the store your store could get sued. So im sorry i dont agree with you. And it personally insults my family when you sit their bacically making fun of people who are different then you. You do'nt have a clue what their medical conditions are and you have no right what so ever to judge them.

Answer 8

Well, I suppose you could call obese women handicapped...

Takes a lot out of one to haul around an extra 150 pounds...

Answer 9

yes and no, it depends on why they are obese many large women have gotten that way because of a disability other than compulsive eating so they would be entitled to use a cart for the disabled.

Answer 10

I agree. Sure, there are hidden disabilities, and obesity can lead to knee pain, but often the only problem I can really see is laziness.

(Oh, and I'm a big ol' girl who'll take all the exercise she can get!)

Answer 11

Obese people have trouble walking. The carts are for people who have trouble walking. Lighten up.
