Okay, I know this is highly un-P.C. of me, but I just HATE those things. They frequently block aisles that are increasingly more difficult to navigate because of all the display and chatting shoppers, many of the operators don’t know how to drive them and are hazardous to pedestrians, and, let’s face it, a lot of the people who use these carts would be better served if they got off of them and actually burned a few calories by pushing a cart. Flame away, if you must.

No flame. Rarely is it that a disabled person is using them. Usually just lazy obese people use them.

Properly used they are great. A few years ago, after getting discharged from the hospital for total hip replacement surgery and was on crutches. One of them allowed me to go shopping with my wife and get out of the house, Also, the enable my 95 year old grandmother to accompany me for shopping trips for her when I visit her.

The point I’m making is that a electric cart is good when used by folks who need it for mobility in a store.
