Your comment saddens me. Not everyone on a scooter is cheating. I agree this woman had no business taking a scooter away from someone who really needs it.
Please remember you cannot see the healing incision from a hip replacement, or the arthritis that remains in that person’s back and knee. You cannot see the COPD that incapacitates a person after walking 200 feet, or the healing bypass surgery.
Personally I think the scooters should be reserved for those who have been issued handicapped parking placards, but until they are, I don’t judge.
I judge all the time. It’s my money they are spending! If they don’t like it, don’t live on my dime!
On my way home last night I stopped at a local store. A women in her 30s was at the checkout...of course taking her sweet time...Uses her EBT to purchase some Pop and snacks.
Then pulls out cash to purchase a 5 Lottery tickets and Cigarettes. She said something about needing good luck and looked at me and said maybe he has good luck. I replied “not me, I am just a poor sap who works for a living. I don’t get anything free!” She quickly turned and scurried out to her vehicle.
If the skank has the cash to purchase cigarettes and Lottery tickets she doesn’t need my money to purchase her junk food.
People like that need to be shamed into not even having a itbefree card if that is what they use it for. Every time the pull it out they should feel guilt that the money they spend came out of some other poor saps paycheck.
Given her actions, she had none of these issues.
If you had to guess, what percentage would you say don't belong in those chairs?

Another well intended but now wildly abused function. That scam is now embedded in law.
Your warning not to judge is noble and noted, but if it's the first thing that pops into my mind when I see the title then must be happening with enough regularity to be a problem.
It seems like this specific woman is phony disabled. And it’s equally likely she has a handicapped parking placard and is on SSDI. The majority of people I see using scooters at my Walmart are obese. I have MS, a handicapped parking placard, and am on SSDI, but I use a cart much like I would a walker. I 100% agree that there are many people with “invisible” illnesses and injuries (like MS), and we get the side eye for parking in handicapped spots or using a scooter. It’s not fair to generalize, but in this case, a woman on a scooter who pops up and engages in a wrestling brawl like that — she doesn’t seem very disabled.
