USPS truck parked in handicap spot

[Guest guest]

Took these photos this afternoon in my condo building parking lot: A USPS truck parked in the Handicap parking spot. Really no excuse for the carrier to park here as all the visitor spots were vacant. Just need to find out where to send my photos at the US Postal Service.Dan U dao_nguu@...

What a GREAT idea!!!

Oh that would make life soooo much easier. Now I wonder if Giant

Eagle, around here, would do something like that for me.. It

would be much better for to just drop in, pick up & pay

for the stuff I've called in than him having to grab a cart and

run through the store, trying to remember all the stuff he's

supposed to be picking up on his way home.. Would save a TON of

time as well.  Would definitely have done some good for us these

past few weeks, with him not leaving the funeral home until

sometimes after 7 in the evening (some days 12 1/2 hours in)..

so dinner isn't appearing before 9 p.m... and then it's TV

dinners if it's 9.. would be much later if he starts from

scratch type meals..

THANK YOU soooo much for this idea.. I know that there are a few

stores around the city that offered that type of service, but

via online shopping type thing.. Somehow you go through a

"virtual store" online, check off what you want & quantity..

they prepare the order in-store, an have it waiting for you to

pick up.. not sure either of the ones we use have that service

available.. but I will be calling each of the stores, and

talking to someone about it.. Maybe, just maybe the stores

aren't as inconsiderate as the impression that they give..

when I go to Walgreen's it ticks me off to see the window

cleaner's truck in the handicap parking - it is hard to park

elsewhere and hike in - I am better at reminding cashiers to

divide my spoils into carry bags - had enough of plastic bags

breaking and dirty looks when I asked for double bagging

 

never happends at Country Mart - but then 10 years plus ...

they help me and Becky when we worked at Willow and picked up

our list and got it to the service desk for us so we could

swoop in - when I got sick I could call it in and having given

money - he picked it up for me and brought it home -

since then they put it in the buggy and and I go to the

car real slow and talk and he rides the buggy back after he

fills my trolly up

 

great system we have

 

if I am having a poop out day the ladies and sometimes the

manager at Sav A Lot get the stuff in the car for me - right

in front of the car

 

God, grant me the strength of eagles wings,

the faith and courage to fly to new heights,

and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me there.

Do not try Wal Mart - they are the worst - 3 carts per store may or may not be charged - I had the indignity in K Mart of being pushed by a young man while I sat in a wheel chair - I refused to go back

Country Mart is family - Harry my sisters son works at the one on the East side of town - as long as I can get the cart I can do it - the tv dinners are $1.09 each - great for supper and i don't have to cook when I am tired - they have a wicked awesome double German Chocolate cake - supposed to be one piece - yeah right - my indulgence once a month

when I was working I could pre order supper for me and if I knew in time for my supervisor - and take it in to work at Red Cross - I did it becauce he kept drooking over mine - homecooking cooking cheap God, grant me the strength of eagles wings, the faith and courage to fly to new heights, and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me there.

Well, when it comes to a power

cart.. you're right.. if we hit ours on a "busy" (okay, so

Wal-Mart never has a non-busy day) rarely will one find a cart

that is fully charged.. Our local one even had a cart that when

you tried to turn right with it.. would died instantly!!.. and

they didn't even mark it out of order...

If we get me out of the house to actually hit a Wal-Mart.. we go

at really strange hours.. sometimes after midnight and into the

wee-hours of the morning.. otherwise, if we go at peak or even

not-so peak hours.. by the time we get out of that place I'm

ready to kill something! Between the small areas in the clothing

department (and I HAVE to hit the clearance racks) that a cart

doesn't fit through.. and the rude people (not all are rude, but

the ones that are, take on all of the rudeness that would be

inside the non-rude plus all the indifferent people combined!)..

I've actually had people push their cart over to the side where

I am (and I stay as close to the side of the aisle as I can with

the cart), directly in front of me.. park their cart right

there.. and walk away!!!..  now I've got to try and back up in a

crowded aisle so that I can swing that cart out into a busy

stream of traffic in the aisle to get around the parked cart..

Really wish I could get up and run after them and grab them by

their itty bitty necks.. One of these days, if isn't

standing close by.. I WILL become very vocal (he'd be totally

embarrassed and die right on the spot if I did that with him

there) and let the rude person know exactly how rude they are..

Other times I've run into extremely nice and helpful people..

One gentleman even stood in the center of the end of the aisle

and blocked traffic so that I could get out of the aisle and

around the corner to the next.. right in the middle of Christmas

rush too.. LOL.. I'll never forget that man.. but I will also

never forget the asshole (sorry about the language)... who

standing directly behind me and my cart.. said loudly enough..

"People of Wal-Mart" that everyone around us could hear.. I

expect to one day open one of those emails and find a picture of

my butt in a cart in that check out line...

They redesigned or redecorated the back of the store ladies

room.. and with the new design, even in my power chair, that

isn't but maybe 24 inches wide.. I'm going to be very hard

pressed to get through between the sinks and the stalls doors to

get to the handicapped stall.. without getting wedged between or

running over someone.. Where was their brain in that design???

But, EVEN WORSE than Wal-Mart is Burlington Coat Factory -- not

inside a super mall type deal, where you can get a chair from

the mall itself if you don't have one of your own -- needed

an overcoat for winter, for working in the parking lot, on

funeral days.. Well the only place I could think of that would

handle one of those fancy men's dress coats (double breasted,

some type of wool blend, heavy to be warm, not just for looks

type coats) was Burlington Coat Factory... I thought it was at

the Mall, but it wasn't. They must have moved out into a

building all their own (they bought an out of business

department store).. We get there.. I didn't bring my

wheelchair.. goes inside to get theirs.. only to find they

don't have one.. none.. nothing.. zero.. zilch.. They have

handicapped parking spaces out the wazoo.. but NOTHING to assist

a handicapped person into and around their store.. Oh.. but

you're more than welcome to bring your own!!! (that's what I was

told).. and then if you call them on the phone, they'll even

send an employee out to assist you get into your chair and even

push you around the store and then get you back into your

vehicle and on your way.. Ummmmm.... If I'm going to pay you

$200 or more for a men's winter dress overcoat.. I certainly

expect to be able to SHOP for that coat.. not having to find a

seat in the shoe department, while the man runs back and forth

from the clothing rack.. saying.. what do you think of this

one.. what about this one.. and on and on.. I was SOOO livid by

the time I left that store.. I told them that I was going to

post everywhere I could find on the internet that they were not

handicapped accessible let alone handicapped oriented or

friendly..

Can you tell that I'm working very hard to avoid filing my

income tax online??? LOL..

Do not try Wal Mart - they are the worst - 3 carts per

store may or may not be charged - I had the indignity in K

Mart of being pushed by a young man while I sat in a wheel

chair - I refused to go back

 

Country Mart is family - Harry my sisters son works at the

one on the East side of town - as long as I can get the cart I

can do it - the tv dinners are $1.09 each - great for supper

and i don't have to cook when I am tired - they have a wicked

awesome double German Chocolate cake - supposed to be one

piece - yeah right - my indulgence once a month

 

when I was working I could pre order supper for me and if I

knew in time for my supervisor - and take it in to work at Red

Cross - I did it becauce he kept drooking over mine -

homecooking cooking cheap

Re: USPS truck parked in handicap spot

 

What a GREAT idea!!!

Oh that would make life soooo much easier. Now I

wonder if Giant Eagle, around here, would do

something like that for me.. It would be much better

for to just drop in, pick up & pay for the

stuff I've called in than him having to grab a cart

and run through the store, trying to remember all

the stuff he's supposed to be picking up on his way

home.. Would save a TON of time as well.  Would

definitely have done some good for us these past few

weeks, with him not leaving the funeral home until

sometimes after 7 in the evening (some days 12 1/2

hours in).. so dinner isn't appearing before 9

p.m... and then it's TV dinners if it's 9.. would be

much later if he starts from scratch type meals..

THANK YOU soooo much for this idea.. I know that

there are a few stores around the city that offered

that type of service, but via online shopping type

thing.. Somehow you go through a "virtual store"

online, check off what you want & quantity..

they prepare the order in-store, an have it waiting

for you to pick up.. not sure either of the ones we

use have that service available.. but I will be

calling each of the stores, and talking to someone

about it.. Maybe, just maybe the stores aren't as

inconsiderate as the impression that they give..

when I go to Walgreen's it ticks me off to see

the window cleaner's truck in the handicap parking -

it is hard to park elsewhere and hike in - I am

better at reminding cashiers to divide my spoils

into carry bags - had enough of plastic bags

breaking and dirty looks when I asked for double

bagging

 

never happends at Country Mart - but then 10

years plus ... they help me and Becky when we worked

at Willow and picked up our list and got it to the

service desk for us so we could swoop in - when I

got sick I could call it in and having given

money - he picked it up for me and brought it home -

since then they put it in the buggy and and I

go to the car real slow and talk and he rides the

buggy back after he fills my trolly up

 

great system we have

 

if I am having a poop out day the ladies and

sometimes the manager at Sav A Lot get the stuff in

the car for me - right in front of the car

 

God, grant me the strength of eagles wings,

the faith and courage to fly to new heights,

and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me

Took these photos this afternoon in my condo

building parking lot: A USPS truck parked in

the Handicap parking spot. Really no excuse

for the carrier to park here as all the

visitor spots were vacant. Just need to find

out where to send my photos at the US Postal

Service.

I went to Dollar Store to get one of those aluminum card cases - wnted one for cards and one for coins - the girl blew me off on Monday - I went back on Wednesday and the same one told me the sale was off -- I walked a ways off and in full cry demanded to know why she lied to me that day of the sale I came in on - I said thank you very much for making me make 2 trips and wasting my time - I pegged it out there with my crutch - didn't care who heard me

I used to shop there a lot - not any more God, grant me the strength of eagles wings, the faith and courage to fly to new heights, and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me there.

Do not try Wal Mart - they are the worst - 3 carts per store may or may not be charged - I had the indignity in K Mart of being pushed by a young man while I sat in a wheel chair - I refused to go back

Country Mart is family - Harry my sisters son works at the one on the East side of town - as long as I can get the cart I can do it - the tv dinners are $1.09 each - great for supper and i don't have to cook when I am tired - they have a wicked awesome double German Chocolate cake - supposed to be one piece - yeah right - my indulgence once a month

when I was working I could pre order supper for me and if I knew in time for my supervisor - and take it in to work at Red Cross - I did it becauce he kept drooking over mine - homecooking cooking cheap God, grant me the strength of eagles wings, the faith and courage to fly to new heights, and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me there.

Well, when it comes to a power cart.. you're right.. if we hit ours on a "busy" (okay, so Wal-Mart never has a non-busy day) rarely will one find a cart that is fully charged..

I've actually had people push

their cart over to the side where I am (and I stay as close to the side of the aisle as I can with the cart), directly in front of me.. park their cart right there.. and walk away!!!.. now I've got to try and back up in a crowded aisle so that I can swing that cart out into a busy stream of traffic in the aisle to get around the parked cart..

I'm ready to kill something! Between the small areas

I'm going to be very hard pressed to get through

are $1.09 each - great for supper and i don't have

to cook when I am tired - they have a wicked awesome

double German Chocolate cake - supposed to be one

piece - yeah right - my indulgence once a month

 

when I was working I could pre order supper for

me and if I knew in time for my supervisor - and

take it in to work at Red Cross - I did it becauce

he kept drooking over mine - homecooking cooking

cheap

 

God, grant me the strength of eagles wings,

the faith and courage to fly to new heights,

and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me

there.

Re: USPS truck parked in handicap spot

 

What a

GREAT idea!!!

Oh that would make life soooo much easier.

Now I wonder if Giant Eagle, around here,

would do something like that for me.. It

would be much better for to just drop

in, pick up & pay for the stuff I've

called in than him having to grab a cart

and run through the store, trying to

remember all the stuff he's supposed to be

picking up on his way home.. Would save a

TON of time as well.  Would definitely

have done some good for us these past few

weeks, with him not leaving the funeral

home until sometimes after 7 in the

evening (some days 12 1/2 hours in).. so

dinner isn't appearing before 9 p.m... and

then it's TV dinners if it's 9.. would be

much later if he starts from scratch type

meals..

THANK YOU soooo much for this idea.. I

know that there are a few stores around

the city that offered that type of

service, but via online shopping type

thing.. Somehow you go through a "virtual

store" online, check off what you want

& quantity.. they prepare the order

in-store, an have it waiting for you to

pick up.. not sure either of the ones we

use have that service available.. but I

will be calling each of the stores, and

talking to someone about it.. Maybe, just

maybe the stores aren't as inconsiderate

as the impression that they give..

when I go to Walgreen's it ticks me off

to see the window cleaner's truck in the

handicap parking - it is hard to park

elsewhere and hike in - I am better at

reminding cashiers to divide my spoils

into carry bags - had enough of plastic

bags breaking and dirty looks when I asked

for double bagging

 

never happends at Country Mart - but

then 10 years plus ... they help me and

Becky when we worked at Willow and picked

up our list and got it to the service desk

for us so we could swoop in - when I got

sick I could call it in and having given

money - he picked it up for me and

brought it home - since then they put it

in the buggy and and I go to the car

real slow and talk and he rides the buggy

back after he fills my trolly up

 

great system we have

 

if I am having a poop out day the

ladies and sometimes the manager at Sav A

Lot get the stuff in the car for me -

right in front of the car

 

God, grant me the strength of eagles wings,

the faith and courage to fly to new heights,

and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to

carry me there.

USPS truck parked in handicap

spot [2 Attachments]

 

Took these photos this afternoon in

my condo building parking lot: A

USPS truck parked in the Handicap

parking spot. Really no excuse for

the carrier to park here as all the

visitor spots were vacant. Just need

to find out where to send my photos

at the US Postal Service.

These are photos I took of another illegally parked car. I finally got them downloaded from my mobile phone. Looking at the license plate I noticed the vehicle registration tags are six months expired! I sent these to the building property management and to the California Disability Rights office.Dan U dao_nguu@...
