What sucks is that it's people like this who are responsible for a scene I saw in the mart of walls not terribly long ago. I was near the entrance waiting on somebody, and a young woman walked in and started to get a scooter. The police officer manning the door (this store was in a high crime area and the greeters were off-duty cops) very rudely approached the woman and told her she couldn't use the cart, as they were for "people who actually needed them." The young woman tried to explain that she did need it, but I never found out why because the asshole cop never let her finish a sentence. The woman wound up going getting off the cart and sitting on a bench while somebody (I'm presuming her husband) got their car and picked her up. The cop rolled his eyes at her and told her "lazy isn't a disability.
I was incensed. I have no idea why the young woman needed a scooter, but I had my guesses. She was pregnant, and could very well have been experiencing complications. She could have injured a leg. She could have had some other disorder that rendered her disabled when she wasn't pregnant. Who knows. I was livid enough to not only complain to the store management, but get his badge number and complain to his supervisor at the police station.
