My true hero is the ten year-old girl I saw on crutches the other day, practically flying across the floor in spite of her injury. Or as any good nurse calls it, "Her highest level of functioning."
As opposed to the able-bodied shoppers, sometimes college students, who grab an electric cart because it's "fun" to use them, especially on a busy day when people who actually need them are forced to sit and wait for one to become available.
I do realize there are people who may have a number of issues that may not be readily apparent to me and I'm not begrudging them. But there are definitely people who use them out of sheer laziness. And when I see a kid who would be within their rights to use the motorized carts choosing instead to be as mobile and as active as possible, I take my hat off to them.
