I don't think you know what you're talking about. Disabilities are really diverse and the US at least has shit healthcare. I can totally imagine someone using the last of their strength or energy to get back into their car. I wish everyone returned their carts, too, but I have empathy for people who just hit the end of their rope.

Obviously every disability is different. It's a meme, I'm not writing comprehensive policy here

Edit the point is if you normally navigate the grocery errand, make it to your car without issue, are not incapable of returning the cart, but choose.to.just ditch it because you are lazy, then the meme is talking about you.

If you aren't able to move the cart any further, ideally park near the return spot, or tell the staff, or get the accomodations you need.

I'm responding to your comment, not the post. This part:

If a disabled person ... their disability should therefore ....

You really can't make generalizations about disabilities like this.

Lots of people think disabilities are visible and easy to categorize. They're not, and this attitude leads to scenarios like random people harassing actually disabled people for using a handicapped parking spot.

My point is, like, mind your own business and don't make judgy proclamations about what disabled people can do.

Return your cart if you can. Don't if you can't.

It's simple shit.

If you can't, the meme isn't about you.

It is however reasonable to suggest a journey that is 99% over and has been completed successfully, can be completed to 100%.

But if not, refer to the beginning.

That's it.

Edit if you leave it anywhere because you are lazy, not incapable, then the meme is about you.

You didn't quote or seemingly read that line.
