| - I'm a loyal Smith's customer but I think I'll need to go further west to do my Smith's shopping in the future. Today my daughter (9yrs. old) and I went there, we watched a woman walk in the store and get on a motorized cart and proceed to try to run us over, all over the store. At one point we were in front of the redbox, renting a movie, when we turned around she was about five feet away and headed straight for us. When she saw we were in front of her she just kept coming towards us, full speed ahead. There were people to our left and a redbox to our right. Without saying excuse me, she basically just kept driving till we were backed up against the redbox. I can only assume that if we were still looking at the redbox and didn't see her, she would've hit us? Then she tried to accuse me of not looking. I was looking, I watched her drive through a narrow passage of machines and people straight toward us without hesitation, carrying along a sense of entitlement, like the seas should part for her, because she has disabled herself. Another time when we were on the other side of the store she whipped around a corner and almost hit my daughter.
If this was the first time it had happened, I wouldn't be yelping. There was another incident where a woman (maybe the same one?) tried to run us over, I told a manager and they said there's nothing they can do.
Maybe Smith's could make their carts drive painfully slow, so only people who really need them will use them, but I don't think we should punish those who truly need accommodation. They should have some kind of criteria for use, or way to track who's using them, so they can stop users from taking out their aggression on other grocery store patrons.
Long story long, there's too much riffraff here, one too many poor people here, I don't mean their economic status, I mean poor in their ways.
