There are some chiropractors who happen to make you feel better as a result of giving you a massage, but there are massage therapists who can do that probably cheaper without giving undue credit to the practice which includes the spine subluxation nonsense.

I'm guessing that the shopper scooters were in the foyer so she walked into the store and her body has a different configuration when she walks than when she's sitting down. When she settles she really settles.


Or the entry door is a double door, probably

I'm assuming that she fits through the door when standing but was planning on riding the scooter back to her car and ditching it in the parking lot because that's what 98% of people using those scooters do.

Oh, there's no 'somehow' about it. Those Rascal scooters have something like a 200-250lb weight limit, so when you get someone riding one who grossly exceeds that the poor motor works itself to death and drains the battery in half the time.

When I worked for an amusement park, our scooters were rented out and we had a 350 pound limit on them, which we didn't tell people until after they stated their weight on the paperwork. There were a lot of people angry that because they were over 400 pounds, this was a Bring Your Own Heavy Duty Mobility Scooter situation. That said, the majority of the people who used them were grandparents who wanted to see their grandchildren have fun at the park.

Back when I worked as a retail manager I would not let fat people use the scooters, unless they had a cane or walker or something with them. They really liked to throw "discrimination" out instantly when I told them it was for disabled people only. Of course its "discrimination." Thats why I'm not gonna let a teenager ride around on it either. loving moron.

They have a purpose. The problem is lazy asses tooling around on Rascals actually hurt disabled people because it creates a stigma. Are people going to think you're lazy or are you really disabled? If you are bone-drying old at least people assume you belong on the scooter.

I look forward to the day when someone's scooter runs over someone else's service-dog. Preferably in the gluten-free aisle at the supermarket.

Really loving fat people are the worst. I don't mind a big fat normal person but when youre at the point when you audibly wheeze just breathing or use those scooters cuz you can't walk more than 15 minutes it's time to just stay home and die at 50.

I don't mind fat people using the scooters if they really, genuinely are in a bad enough way that they can't walk through the supermarket without difficulty. But it seems like they are more indignant than old people or the otherwise disabled. Like, an old person might get mad that something is in their way, but people are usually polite enough to move for them. Most fat people I see will sooner just push carts around or knock over displays than wait a second. It's purely anecdotal, and I'm sure that there are some people in this category that are perfectly pleasant. I just haven't really encountered any myself.

e: Like Kareem said, it creates a stigma. If you see a large person on a scooter, do you think they might have a genuine disability in addition the being overweight? Or do you think they're just lazy assholes who will run you over without batting an eye?

Kill 2 birds with 1 stone with fat people and scooters - ditch the scooters and replace them all with fold-up wheelchairs. Oh, fatty can't fit in the chair? Too bad, start walking or have someone else do your shopping while you wait. Oh, too tired or heavy to roll yourself around the store? That's your own fault for turning into a giant waste of fat space.

That is kind of terrifying. I'm pretty sure I've seen more than a few stories about a chiropractor accidentally breaking an infant's neck because they have no idea what the hell they're doing.

The angle of the camera is kind of disorienting. There was a point where I thought the truck was tipping over, and than another where it seemed like it launched into the air, but with no noticeable shaking when it landed. Weird.

A collapsible wheelchair is a lot easier to steal from the store than a heavy power scooter that a person probably doesn't have the means to charge at home. It's hard enough to keep people from stealing regular carts for scrap or whatever.

Not everyone with a disability goes shopping with someone able-bodied who can push the wheelchair.
