[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 512278, member: 11791"] Susie... Tell me if I need to duck, but... while I agree with your final conclusion for a whole long list of reasons, I don't totally agree with your logic... Target has every reason to lose you - and a raft of others - due to negative customer service (not just "lack of"... as in, hard to track down staff but when you find someone they are appropriate and helpful). And you can 100x that due to they way they respond to disabilities. This deserves to be a negative news story. Seriously. We don't have target here... if we did, I probably wouldn't shop there either. But... there are a LOT of stores that do not have carts. There is no reason to expect ANY store to have a cart... unless it is a grocery store. When my Mom became severely disabled (RA), we had to find our own answers... and came up with a variety of used equipment that we could draw on depending on the situation. A "show" at the fairgrounds meant taking a wheelchair. A trip to a clothing store meant taking the sit-down walker (you could push it, or sit in it). And so on. We had to look after ourselves, so that she would not end up in major pain and/or make her joint damage worse. What I'm trying to say is... yes, hammer away at the "bad" stores every chance you get, give the "in-betweens" some educating, shop at the "good" ones... and then go get yourself some stuff so you can enjoy shopping trips and other outings. It's worth it. (do I need to duck now?) [/QUOTE]
