Yesterday I was out with my partner and younger brother. We went to see a film and then picked up lunch. We entered the burrito shop together, got in line together chatting all the time. When we got to the counter my partner and I swapped places so I was first, because I'm vegetarian and that way I get clean gloves that haven't touched meat. I ordered my food, moving down the counter until I got to the till. One of the workers started to ring up my order and I told her the next two people were with me. She looked so shocked and actually queried it! My brother's burrito went into the same bag as mine and once again she started to ring it up. Again I said that there were three of us, and again she looked shocked. What is it about wheelchairs that make us look like we are alone?Girl on wheelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08796804535876857751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-66376837001226148992017-07-30T23:11:35.928-04:002017-07-30T23:11:35.928-04:00glad you could see the humor.....
