Ohhh
. That just kills me when I see stuff like this at the store. I'm always struggling to strike a balance btwn offering my help...and not being insulting to them (and most people don't seem to get offended when you offer).
Sometimes, I see older women pushing their carts HOME through some of the bordering neighborhoods on the way home from where our grocery store is, and they're like already 1/4 mile from the store
, so I offer them a ride. Often times, they don't speak English so it's pretty funny as we try to communicate directions to their house...and we're both sort of laughing at all our hand gestures.
