And it's not just airlines and airports. I was talking to my elderly neighbor the other day, and she told me she doesn't shop for groceries in the only largish town near us because neither the Walmart there nor the Meijer keep enough electric mobility carts on hand for her to count on using one. This reminded me that my dad had similar problems at the same stores.

My neighbor goes to a smaller shop that requires a longer drive, that sells food for more expensive prices. She has to. Those carts aren't a luxury for her, they're a necessity. And she can't drive 30 minutes to a store only to find out that she'd have to wait an hour or more to be able to shop. She has a hard enough time just getting out at all.

I don't know what the laws are on the subject, but I know that Walmart and Meijer are very profitable. It's beyond me why they don't make enough carts available for disabled customers.

After all, that independent small grocery store my neighbor goes to can afford it. So why can't behemoth corporations?
