So big deal, somebody asked her to get something off a shelf for them. If this actually happened, I’m sure the person didn’t even know who she was, and just figured she was a tall shopper who could help them. Just yesterday I asked a gentleman to get some packages of vegetables from the top shelf in the freezer section for me. There were only a few left, and they were way at the back of the freezer. Being 67, and with physical infirmities, I didn’t want to try to climb up onto the ledge of the freezer and take the chance of getting hurt, so I went searching for the first man I could find, and asked him to help me. I’ve done it in the past, and will probably be doing it down the road. Back when I was a kid, the grocery stores used to have sticks with a nail stuck into the end that you could use to pull down something out of reach. Today you have to find somebody who has a longer reach than you.

I've been known to go over to the kitchen utensil section for a long handled spatula or the school supply section for a sturdy ruler. A pooper scooper works, too, when you can't find someone tall.
