I experienced an instance of heightism coupled with racism and a side dish of sexism yesterday at the grocery store. I was just in to go buy some distilled water for my steam cleaner and on the way to the register a height-challenged woman of color flagged me down to get her and her elderly mother in one of the scooters the last 3 containers of grits from the very back of the top shelf.
The average person can't possibly reach back there without a stool or ladder, and why were the grits hiding on the top shelf in the first place? It's widely acknowledged that grits are more popular in black culture and that black people are, on average, shorter than whites. Women are shorter than men and do most of the shopping. Why is there a top shelf at all? Be better, Pick N' Save. Shame on you.
