'That is highly offensive to me': Woman refuses to help fellow grocery shopper retrieve item from shelf, starts discourse about helping people with height differences

Being an average height is a privilege that many don't really think about unless it is brought to their attention. When most things in this world seem more or less the right size for you, it generally doesn't come up in discussion—a far cry from those who are either vertically blessed or vertically challenged.

If you belong to one of these groups, not only do you face constant annoying comments about your height but you also have to deal with the fact that certain normal experiences are going to be that little bit more difficult. There are plenty of things in this life that just aren't going to work for you without some modification, or indeed a helping hand from others. However, while these kind deeds might be a necessity, it does not mean that everybody who can help is willing to give them. It can make things complicated.

One grocery shopper was so incensed that a woman shorter than her asked her to retrieve an item from a shelf that she couldn't reach that she ended up posting about it on social media. Reasoning that it was a form of entitlement to expect her to do such an act when her fellow shopper could find a member of staff, she sparked a heated debate.
