Had a bad experience today, and reported it to management, who said they would talk to the employee responsible, so, I'm giving a good review. HOWEVER, I sincerely hope the person I spoke with does as she promised.
I use a wheelchair, and, can manage grocery shopping only own, HOWEVER, the male employee in question PROMPTLY stopped me, as I was MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS, and asked me why I didn't have an aide with me. NOT ALL OF US 'NEED' ONE, THANKS VERY MUCH. I had made this decision in my early thirties, and all the people closest to me, who TAUGHT me the skills, and taught me to have the common sense to ask for help to be independent enough not to need supervision when I'm out in public, and when I TRULY can't, I'll ASK, and not when some sissy passerby employee has an anxiety attack if I so much as BLINK. Should be noted that I spent about 5 minutes reassuring them that I in fact COULD MANAGE, which I don't APPRECIATE, because I KNOW that you wouldn't lose your mind like that with an ABLE BODIED PERSON, because, JUST LIKE WITH PEOPLE LIKE ME, that's DEEPLY INSULTING. ~Carrie
