um ok, maybe I pulled out the race card but I was still not allowed to do something because of my physical conditions.

I fully understand that if they were labeled for handicapped use only, it would have been wrong. They labeled it for valued customers which can mean pretty much anyone.

My english may be off a little, but I do know how to read signs.

There are plenty of common sense rules that are not written, otherwise even a simple sign would have to be a 500 page legal treatise.

It is understood that those motorized wheelchairs are for the use of elderly or physically disabled customers.

If you truly don't understand that and aren't just trolling, you should probably get examined for some mental illness or disability. I say that in all seriousness.

Maybe they don't value you as a customer ;^)

Original title:

I was descriminated against today at walmart!


Original post:
- Wow, first time I ever felt racism towards me. It felt very bad that I was unable to use a privilege that another person is able to fully use.


I was using one of those motorized rascals that is offered to customers so they dont have to walk and I was on it for about 15 minutes until this lady came up and told me that only handicapp people may use the rascal.

I inquired to the sign that stated that, anywhere on the rascal or the charging area, but she just ignored me.


If it isnt marked for handicap only, why am I being singled out to not use it just because I am not handicapped?

I could understand if there was a sign, but the only sign I read was

"This device is here for our valued customer"

I do believe I am a customer, and I do shop there often which I would assume make me a "valued" customer.

Those are for handicapped people. Thread author suggested she is not handicapped. What reason does the author have for using one of those machines? Thread author must be a fatass. Walk and lose weight, fatty.

Thank you, oh omnipotent forum overlord for posting this puke's whiny rant.

It would have served him right if some old fat woman had yanked his ass out of the "scooter" and run him over.

I'm one of the "worthless fat ass cripples" who use those carts when I go shopping.

I bitch to management every time I see some non-handicapped youngster cruising around in one just to "be cool."

USUALLY, the store managers will make them park the cart...or just make them get off the cart...but once in a while, some fuckwad will try (like the OP) to make an issue of "they ain't no sign what sez I kain't drive this."

I've never seen it actually get them a pass to drive the cart, but I HAVE seen the cops called to escort the fuckwad out of the store. (not actually illegal I suppose, but the store does have the right to make them leave.

You need a sign to tell you that the little scooters are for handicapped people? Christ almighty son... you must be a special type of stupid. You're the reason McD's has to put 'CAUTION: HOT' on their coffee. "Well gee there wasn't a sign about it so how could I have known?" What a dipshit.
