With my luck, I'd spray myself. I have been sprayed at a "riot" (LA police think anything where 10 people are gathered as a riot, it seems) and, quite sadly, I found it irritating but most definitely not disabling. If someone is bound and determined to get at you, I doubt pepper spray would stop them. However, I do agree that as a surprise factor, which would give you a few extra seconds to get away, it might well work (and another one who has wasp spray on her cart).
