Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I was picking up a small amount of groceries from Tesco that my parents forgot to buy on the way back from school (milk, cheese, veg and some sweets). After I gathered my items I made my way to the self service checkouts. I normally use the self service checkouts for two reasons: 

1) I know that it is quicker for me to do it myself

2) Better to listen to my own thoughts than feign niceness to the checkout person whilst awkwardly waiting for them to be done. I don't have social anxiety or anything I just find it a bit tedious.

In this instance, as I was walking to the self service checkouts I heard a woman call to my left; Along the lines of "Do you want me to help you with those?" I very awkwardly semi ignored her with a "eerit's alright". I didn't stop walking at all and only half looked over my shoulder to see who it was that was offering me assistance. As i returned my head to look where   I was going it clicked that the woman had some sort of mental disability. After i responded my brain noticed that she said the sentence a little oddly (Not sure how to describe it with respect, but it was an obvious tell that she had a speech impediment). I got to the self service checkouts a few seconds later and looked up to see she was looking right at me with a sad expression. At this point I could see by her face she had some sort of disability (scrunched face, saggy lip...). I looked down, scanned, bought and bagged my items. When i glanced over again she was dealing with a new customer.

Safe to say i felt like shit afterwards. I am a 17 year old boy if that matters. But was i really in the wrong for rejecting her offer? Does the fact she had a disability change the situation?
