yeah, but if you know in advance, that you need a fork lift to 
reach it, and that you'll also need two additional excavators 
running on a special kind of fuel, which is not available in your 
country...then..and only then.. are your expectations in line 
with reality ;-)

but people come to D, thinking they can just walk over to the 
shelf and take it.
(because that's often what they are used to).

Some of us are actually used to the very opposite - i.e you 
always have make that extra effort, even to do the most simple 
things. But that effort just seems normal to us.

I agree, there needs to be more middle ground, which both types 
will benefit from in the end.
