If you look at me...I would fit the description so scornfully posted by the yorkie talk community. I live on 600 calories a day and work 3 jobs. I will never be able to live without drugs again...and will never be able to leave my wheelchair or the carts at Walmart. Yet, I mentor women, raise great kids and serve the community.
The amount of prejudice in this thread is cruel. I am the first to say that many people abuse the carts and see their disabilties as an avenue for entitlement....that is equally wrong. People in carts need to be aware and considerate just as if they were pushing a cart through the store--which I would give ANYTHING to do!
Oh to be free to do what i want without first taking drugs and dealing with mind altering pain. Hope you all enjoyed this rant. It was painful beyond words for me. |
First off all, the people on this thread don't agree with people who don't need the carts using them , so that people LIKE YOURSELF can use them! I am horribly sorry that you are wheelchair bound and have to take prescriptions to survive. I would not wish that on my own worst enemy. I do not see how you find this thread offensive??? We are advocating for people that NEED to use them. Not teenagers that use them for the hell of it or overweight people that are just plain too lazy to walk! If I may ask, HOW do you find this offensive? And if you didn't notice , alot of the people that posted have disabilities as well, and need to use the carts themselves.
