I just wanted to throw out a scenario that you "might" not thought of. My mom, who is an older lady, really struggles to push a full shopping cart around the store, a full shopping cart is actually quite heavy for elderly people. Obviously for younger people self pushing carts are pretty joke worthy. But in all seriousness, for older people, self pushing carts would very likely let them shop on their own again. (Yes I know you were joking and I didn't take offense. I just wanted to put this out there.),(reply>), @ryanizer11 Absolutely. Being able to provide all types of people a sense of self worth is an amazing feeling for me, but more importantly that person.,(reply>), @MegaLakona I agree. At least in my moms situation, we have a grocery store that packs the shopping bags, carries the bags to your car, and even loads them into your car for you. So she goes there, and then I just bring them into the house for her. I fully understand this is not the norm everywhere, but it works for her and our personal situation.,(reply>), And people with varies disabilities,(reply>), On the other hand, as a kid the best thing of going with mom shopping was getting to drive the cart ;),(reply>), I know of elderly people that like to be able to use the shopping cart as a walking aid.
