"Am I being too picky? Given that this is a retirement community they must know that your average 70+ individual may have a problem picking things up off the floor."

gatherer47, if you considered my response as being sarcastic then I considered the question of being picky more of one of being hypocritical and not picky. Obviously you go to a gym for strength training but complain about now having to reach all the way to the floor to pickup your own personal gym bag carried onto the premises by yourself. Unless of course he filled his bag with rocks how hard is this to pick up?

Now, if the OP asked do you think the employee's response was inadequate, then I would of said, yes. That's not the question he asked. What he asked was more along the lines of 'kittylecroix' response of driving to the YMCA to run 5 miles and then complaining by the lack of a close parking space. Now, do you see the irony in that?
