That was so fucked...when they arrived the security guard was human and gave them the wheelchairs to get from the car, when they were leaving some soul-less automaton had taken over the shift and chose to display their powers by "strictly interpreting" the no chairs past the mall entrance policy. eek:

..as if these people aren't doing it tough enough without having to deal with heartless pricks like that, I hope they sue that store for a shitload and maybe get a few more comforts in their lives.

You 're joking right? I can't believe shit like this actually takes place. Someone should club the square badge in the knees and tell him to crawl to his car.

Thats a fucking disgrace. Whatever happened to common sense??

Like the article said: "What are they going to do - run away with it?"

Having a little power and responsibility just gets to people, those guards put the damn wheelchair before the human being..
I'd have had them sacked and had the company sued/discliplined..

Guys, the world has changed since September 11th 2001. These men could have stolen those chairs, strapped some bombs to them, returned them, and the resulting explosion could have KILLED OVER 100 PEOPLE!!! Is that what you want? Is it??? Here's a newsflash for you all: We all have to make sacrifices for the War on Terrorâ„¢, you and everyone else -- including these two fellows -- are just going to have to deal with it.
