Asking for help @ the grocery store. [View all]

Because I shop alone 99.5% of the time, I have learned to ask for help from the cart corral people, asking them to "Please can you get a power cart for me?" I have learned to ask a random stranger, "Would you please help me, and grab me that grocery cart, it's easier to move then my walker?" I have also on 2 occasions called the service desk & asked for assistance.
I did not like asking for help for a long-time. As my arthritis as gotten worse over the last few years, I have learned that people are willing to give me a hand, if I ask for it. Still it is not a simple thing to do.
And I do try to make sure I say thank you twice.
Arthritis & joint disease suck big time.
