It is weird that the mall keeps the scooters in the middle of the mall. The

Walmart

I go to keep theirs right at the front door where they keep the carts.

[ ] Pet peeve -scooters at malls etc

I do not understand why but at our mall they keep the scooters in the middle

of the mall. In order to use one, you have to park and make your way

halfway thru the mall, first. I have asked them for a phone number I might

call to have someone bring a scooter to an entrance to the mall for me to

use, but they said they cannot do that. It makes me wonder why they bother

providing scooters in the first place? How many people who use a scooter

can get to the middle of the mall without it? Kinda funny to me. when I

have my kids with me, I can send one in to get one, but when I go to mall

alone- well, it seems sorta weird.

i dont know why they do that either.. At the mall around here they do that

with the strollers you can " rent. " 5$ anf they make a copy of your ID...For a

stinkin stroller?! all this after you have trecked thru the mall with 2

whiney kids and a buncch of bags...grr. Irritating at least. hugs

The only thing I can think of is that way they are stratigically

located....for everyone except the person who needs it. I rarely go to

the mall unless I know I can walk on my own, if I am having a really

good day and I only need to go to one or two stores or use my walker.

Hubby is with me always when I go just in case I tucker out too quickly

and he can run and get the car. BTW the handicap spots are always taken

by non-handicap cars...Ticks me off, why have a sticker if you can't get

a parking place. Security rarely does squat about it. Usually though

I go to Walmart, Target, those types of places where the scooters are

right at the door and never have I had a sneer or weird look. They are

always helpful. Craft stores on the other hand are totally worthless

and trust me, I go to craft stores a lot! I think I am the only person

using a walker there.......they look at me like I am from another planet.
