I worked in a store that had several scooter carts for the disabled. A man and his wife come in and she has an oxygen tank and needs a scooter. All of them are gone.
I get him a manual wheelchair cart. This one is never used and help him get his wife situated. He sighs that he's not sure if he can push her around the store and I volunteer to help them shop.
I push this wheelchair cart with this old couple and they are sweet and I help them get things from the top shelf, but every time I see one of the scooters on the floor it has a fat person just too lazy to walk.
Over and over, scooter = fat person. Maybe some of them did have medical conditions, but I can't believe all of them did. All of them are hogging a scooter that this woman needed. They are for the disabled.
I'm glad that I was able to help that couple out, but I shouldn't have had to.
When I got back to the front half the scooters were dead due to the fatties not plugging them back up when they were finished.

But like, because they have ankle/health problems due to obesity, or is it sometimes because they're just too lazy to walk?

Both. Some of them also have real disabilities that you cant see and are fat because they can't exercise

It's not super rare but not common either. I would estimate I see a "scooter fatty" (eg an obese person not elderly or obviously disabled) once every three or four trips to Walmart. More common is old people or people obviously disabled (eg wearing a cast/ankle brace). This is in suburban Houston, one of America's most overweight cities.
I'm 280lbs and I can walk 5 miles easy. Maybe not in ten years (weight tears up your knees) but for now it's not a barrier to walking.
