$50 seems a little to light... It should be more like $250. My mother is disabled and lives with us, but we don’t have a placard. We get her in and out of the car ourselves and push a wheelchair, so it’s not that big of a deal. I’d rather save those places for people who are disabled and drive and have no help. A real pet peeve of mine are the courtesy scooters at the grocery store. I’m very appreciative that they provide them. I could just push my mom in a wheelchair, but she loves riding about in a scooter if she can. The problem is all of the people who use them that have absolutely no reason for doing so. We’ve waited in the front of the store on many occasions waiting for a scooter, only to see punk thugs rolling around in them like they’re cruising the block. When they leave, I watch them just hop up and stroll out to their cars. Really angers me when people are so selfish and thoughtless.
You beat me to it ...My wife is disabled and I can let her out at the door and park anywhere but she goes in and there are no scooters but teen age boys racing down the aisles
We have the same situation here...
My 88 yr old dad can’t walk that far but we drop him off and never use the HC slots...
My pet peeve at our small town grocery store are the courtesy slots for moms’ with infants or toddlers...inevitably, when I am at the store, someone without kids takes advantage of those slots and are very in-your-face about it.....and, yes, I’ll go there...they are usually fat and black!
