He's walking towards the escalator, so he must've seen the woman tumble down and the other guy tumble over her trying to help her.

What does he do? He looks right at them, then turn and walk another way.

e.g., the woman on the chair at Burger King. Maybe she had some fatigue or other physical problem to deal with. However, the beginning with the wheelchair on the escalator - there's no cure for stupid.

...is a two-level one. There's a set of escalators there, that also take shopping carts.

In other words, in parallel to the step escalator there is also one that takes your cart.


Recently, they installed shiny steel pillars in front of the step escalators, about a yard high. Initially, I though it was because some moron tried to use the step escalator for a shopping cart.

Now I'm wondering if some Target exec saw that GIF and freaked.
