I now have a great appreciation for the struggles that people have when in wheelchairs. I cannot imagine being in a wheelchair, but I also can understand their frustration when they aren't getting the accomodations that they should be allowed. I have used the wheelchair automatic door, more than once since having a child. Don't judge people - you know that you have done it too! But I typically use it when I have the stroller with me - it's hard to open a door and push a stroller with only two hands. However, what really ticks me off is when you have to walk all the way up to the door and then hurry and get out of the way of it before it hits you. I mean - HELLO people - these are made for handicapped people in wheelchairs - do you really think that they can hurry and get out of the way before the door hits them? And what's with those doors that you are supposed to hit one button and it opens both doors? Does it ever actually open both doors? And what are those handicapped people supposed to do when the other door doesn't open? Get out of their wheelchair and open it themselves??? We need to be more of an advocate for handicapped people and their rights. And for those mother's with young ones in strollers who need to use those automatic doors too!

take a look at how much money it takes for a company to operate one of those buttons ... then take a look at how many times you have misused that button ... there's your answer.
