Motorized carts

[Guest guest]

I could not reasonably go to the back of the store where the milk always is and

make it back to the car. One day at Walmart, I was having a bad time, the

checker asked me if I was OK. I don't think she had seen me walk. I told her my

feet hurt. She said she could get someone to take me to my car. The policeman

that is always around does that. Stubborn!! I said no I was O.K.. Out I went.

About half way to my car I just could do no more. There was a tree that had a

cement enclosure that was a little higher than a normal chair. It was really hot

but I was thankful for the little shade. So I sat knowing I was to the end of my

limit. When a guy came around collecting baskets I told him I could not walk the

rest of the way to the car. He sent the cop car for me and drove me to my car.

That was a far worse scene than had I just taken the chair in the first place.

Embarrassment won out over stubborn. After that I used the chair from the store.

I am happy to say that things have improved since then and now I can walk enough

to get the milk and even look around a little, just must be careful to not

overdo.

It's better to get help before you have to have someone pick you up when you can

go no further.

" I was bullheaded about using the motorized carts in stores for

many years. I totally understand how you feel. "

Janet, my experience was the same as a's. once I started using

conveniences to get around, I never looked back
