My faith in my fellow man was restored yesterday evening. Our local Tesco Extra used to be open 24 hours but now closes at 10. The night crew who stock the shelves used to work through the night but now presumably start sometime in the afternoon. This means effectively that by early evening the store is pretty full of essentials
So we have taken to shopping at 6 or 7 o'clock where initially the store was pretty empty, and we could walk straight in. However it looks as of others have latched on to this, and it has got busier
Yesterday evening we arrived, the disabled parking spaces were all empty so we took the first place next to the entrance where a small queue had formed. I knew that I could not stand for the time it would take but we always have the wheelchair in the car so out that came. The queue watched the process of me getting into the chair and when we set off to the back of the queue they all waved us through to the front where the security bloke waved us in
I was touched by a simple gesture of humanity
If that held me up getting in, I would have been livid. You should have got to the back of the queue, and that's why so much resentment is felt towards the old and disabled.
