“I’ve also had the experience of, mostly older short ladies, asking me to help get something off of a high shelf for them.”

That has happened to me many times and sometimes still does even though I am seventy and white haired. I am still six four barefoot and I stand very straight. I have never refused.
I’m always thankful for kind tall people like you :). I’ve had men see me standing on the bottom shelf trying to reach something on the top shelf volunteer to get it for me-such a blessing for my short self!
I’ve also had people ask for my help finding products many times, never was I offended. Well, once I was. It was a Somalian woman and her son and they didn’t smile, were curt and walked away without saying thank you. They’re the only ones who acted superior to me.
