Is obesity really a handicap?
Did she have a handicap permit? If so, it's good enough for the government, and really shouldn't be anyone else's concern.

None of us can judge whether or not someone should qualify for a handicap permit without knowing anything more than "they don't look handicapped". The obesity may be the cause of her handicap, or her handicap may be the reason she's obese, or she just might be lazy.

Maybe she has an elderly father who likes the independence of going to the store every week, but has a problem walking long distances outside the store, so she drops him off, runs some errands, then goes back to Safeway to pick him up.
