The scooters at our stores aren't any larger than a standard grocery cart...but you can't shove the scooter out of the way. I have had several discussions with the local store manager about the number of "wing" displays that they put in the aisles. Either it has sunk in or corporate is changing the way they do things, they have greatly decreased. I typically shop with a hand basket so I can maneuver around carts, and scooters. It also keeps my purchases down to a manageable level that will fit in on my bike.
