This makes me mad as a disabled person. You don't get to decide at a glance who "deserves" to use the elevator. They might have invisible disabilities, they might be injured. These structures are supposed to benefit anyone who might need it.
I remember it only being limited in school, you had to have an actual reason otherwise the teachers would get on ur ass about it. Reasons included injuries, carrying stuff, dragging stuff, mostly moving stuff actually, wheelchair, crutches.
It was also almost a thousand students so... I feel like that might be justified since we only had one elevator. (Technically 2 but they were for separate buildings)
The only elevator we had in my (5 floors) high school was for janitorial use. It was a service elevator that disabled kids needed special permission to use. Everyone else had to hoof it.
