Today was... fun?

George and I did manage to get to Costco today. I have to say we both enjoyed ourselves. We found the lights I wanted to buy, and I found more batteries for the radio. However, when we got there, I got to feel a bit... petty and smug I guess you could say.
If you've been to a Costco, it's a members-only store, and everyone who shops needs a membership card. I had mine in my hand, because you have to scan them to get inside the store, and then again at checkout. Anyway, Ihad my card in my hand, and since I'm in a wheelchair I had to come at an angle to scan the card. Well, they have a greeter, that makes sure everyone scans in. She asked me if I had a membership, and I'm like yeah, right here. and I scan my card. I knocked her down a peg, I think because she couldn't throw George out, because he's allowed to come in under my membership. So all I had to say, is yep, when she asked if George was with me.
George had his fun too. During the end of our visit, George made some friends waiting for me to come out of the bathroom. I caught them exchanging names as I approached.

Yeah, Most of the time I don't have a problem. Or, I should say the first two times. Today we just had someone a bit more vocal. I think she saw the chair, and the old man behind me in an eletric cart and thought 'they don't belong here' Nevermind I can't approach the scanner head-on for bovious reasons. I do, I'm likely to tip forward. No thanks.

If I had thought that I would have been asking her if that is indeed what she thought.
She sounds really judgemental

@Ineeddentures I sure don't doubt it. It also proves that a person can't always see my hands when I'm pushing my chair. So, I could see where she thought I might not have had a card, but I've beenth ere three times. I knew how it worked.

I did not know that Costco is a store that you had to be a member like Sam's Club.

We don't have a Costco anywhere nearby. I'm glad you had a good time.

I don't think the state of Florida had any until they did.
