Hmmmmm, do they have seat belts on those scooters in Wally World and do they require the 300 plus pound occupants to wear them? How about a vision and driving test for anyone asking to use one? Even at low velocity the combined mass of those suckers heading down the snack food aisle is lethal. Questions are at least as irrelevant as WM pointing out that the limo occupants were (legally) not wearing theirs.
I think it was the Walmart lawyers doing what lawyers do. This is where their PR team should step in and toss a little reality on the situation.
Was their lack of restraint the cause of some of the injury? Sure. Without doubt.
But that is meaningless in the court of public opinion.
Someone should tell the lawyers to shut up and settle this thing now. And by now, I mean today.
I was able to avoid being run over and yelled out something like "Watch it" which got me a nasty look.
A minute later I was walking down a main aisle and had to move a little to avoid a cart coming the other way. Sure enough, he was right on my tail moving at whatever the top speed is of those carts and hit me again, luckily I felt him behind and wasn't hit hard. Then he cursed me out for getting in his way.
Told the wife that if I had been really injured the lawyers at Wal-Mart had better have proof that he was qualified to operate that damn scooter because he was a menace to everyone in the store.
