Come on. I think we can assume that if someone is physically incapable of putting a shopping cart back, they're not included in this. But then I do wonder how they were using the shopping cart in the first place.
given how often disabled people are yelled at for using disabled parking spots, I would not be as optimistic that we'd not be included
As for how they were able to use it, maybe using it for a little bit is okay but it starts physically hurting after a while leading to them not being able to put it back, that has happened to me before. Or maybe the return cart area is a bit up a hill or otherwise inaccessible
The clarifying statement I've seen elsewhere for this is that "...there are no impediments to returning the cart".
If pushing a full cart starts to hurt, then returning an empty cart should be easy.
its not that simple. pushing a full cart could start the pain at which point you're just fucked, pushing the empty cart back might really just be too much after that
It's pretty clear to me.
Disabilities of all kinds exist. There may be some that use the cart for balance or others that can't easily navigate places where there are cars (visual disability for example). Leaving the shopping cart at exit is easier if you get into a vehicle or mobility aid right at the exit, rather than going around.
It's funny because I've seen this same post before and half the comments were about disabled people. And here I was the first.
