I've used electric shopping carts in several large stores. I've also had a couple that drained the charge far from the car parking area.

It's amazing to me how invisible I became with people who walked out of a side aisle, and see me there and walk right in front of me. I've gotten the look of "I don't see anything that might cause me to need the cart." I found it quite difficult to get around in a clothing department because the racks are so close to each other.

But what a blessing to find one on my most pain filled days.

Chairs or benches at the front of the store could loosely qualify as apparatus so I can sit down while my wife finishes her shopping.
