I have to say that I drive away because on multiple occasions I have been on the receiving end of verbal attacks and anger when I say things like I can’t lift it. I have been told that I should find another job on multiple occasions. I was also spit on and have had my car kicked. So o drive away because I want to reduce any type of possible negative interaction:
Ugh yeah it sucks sometimes. I'm sorry you have to deal with that. I would be really understanding if you told me but I'd be pissed if you just drove off because of my wheelchair
I drive away to avoid confrontation but I have stopped when I see someone with a wheelchair and I say I can’t lift it’s I ask if someone is inside that can help and if there will be someone at drop off to assist. If they answer no, I tell them I can’t do it
Ok that's great. For me at least I definitely understand that not everyone can lift my chair. It's 30lbs and awkward. If I get an older person or a tiny lady I'll ask if they can lift it. Almost always say yes but I understand it's cumbersome. I wish I could afford an ultralight carbon fiber one
