Perhaps no other company has done more to hurt communities and small business in this nation than Walmart! just remember where it got its roots from!
So what does that have with the people who shop at Walmart? these folks shopped before there was a Walmart. I find it hard to believe that someone doesn't know there are a variety of people in this world and they need to shop just like everyone else.

A few years ago I fell off my well rig.

I was glad to ride the cart to the pharmacy and get a few things I needed.

BTW, I am underweight in the summer.

Get up to average in the winter.

A form of entertainment is to sit in your vehicle and watch the cars scream into a "disabled" parking spot with the occupant leaping out and running into the store to make sure they aren't missing out on the last available "scooter".

I love watching the "couples", both on scooters with the short leash being used to pull a cart behind one of them and guess what the cart is full of? Right Seymor; JUNK FOOD!

Get these people off the Twinkies and sodas and you'll be doing the next generation a great favour.

Genuinely large people of different ages, mostly white.
Younger 30s minorities, hispanic and black, that just look lazy. Not fat at any rate.
Young teenagers goofing around and being nitwits, all races.
Fatter older Hispanics that have small kids with them. But no shaved heads.
I don't see really old people on them as much, and generally not people with normal weight averages. Its like the people who park in handicap spaces, so few of them probably really need to. I saw a Chevy Avalanche parked in a handicap space and an old guy climb out of it. ??? Usually if you ride a scooter you're either being a goof, or you're lazy or you should walk because you need the excercize.
You try to provide a service for people who truly need it and people line up to take advantage of it even if they don't really need it. It might be better to just stop doing it and have those who really need help actively search out help.
I drive and park my full size Ford Bronco in Handicap spaces. It is hard for me to get in and out of but i have owned it for years and i really like it. A gimp is a gimp; doesn't matter what you drive.

If a 200 foot walk will kill them I say put the handi spots 300 feet away from the door.
Maybe you'll get lucky and die before you're a burden on society.

True. I use a cane (osteo and rheumatoid arthritis), and my car is a 2001 Ford ZX2 - a very low car. It's easier for me to get in and out of a low car than a higher vehicle, because of the arthritis in my hip. Still gimpy.

I picked up a 100 box of .38 special for my wife's Ruger for $39.
