How do you know she drove? Is there no other way to get to the store?[/quote]
Given this area and it's lack of mass transportation it's likely she drove. I suppose she could have walked from a nearby apartment complex or housing development but that still requires a certain level of situational awareness and ability to see/navigate her surroundings without the aid of either a helper-dog, walking cane, or other device. The odds are strongly in the favor of her being a normally sighted woman who drove to the store.
Possibly a regional thing, "hamburger" here covers a wide variety of things from ground meat to the "disc shaped things" eaten between buns. Regardless, these "disc shaped things" were, also literally right in front of her.
Awareness and thinking. That's all I ask. It's not a terribly big store or area. All a person has to do is *look* and think. "Hey, there's an empty spot here where a tray of red-meat usually is. Hmm. There's a person a few feet in front of me cutting red meat and putting in a pan. That pan looks big enough to fit in this gap. Oh, and it's 10:00 in the morning and people are buzzing around doing things, cutting things, talking, and there's activity. Maybe it's possible they do have this and that they're working on getting it in here, instead of elves magically doing it overnight."
Nothing is hidden, it's an open-air shop. A person behind the counter can just look a few feet beyond the tip of their nose and see what's going on. It just takes rubbing two brain-cells together to figure things out. But that's asking way too much of the people in this area.
It's one thing to ask for a specific item on the shelf, or a rare item or an unusual item. That, I understand needing help to find. It's something else entirely to ask for something that's is literally staring you in the face. Or to ask where something is that's really not hard to find if you even put in the smallest amount of effort. (Eggs, milk, and bread aren't hard to find, people. They take up pretty significant sections of the store.)
I had someone literally walk through the produce section of the store, up to me, and ask me where our fresh vegetables and stuff were. I told him that it's in the area he just came from. Now, maybe he has severe tunnel vision, I don't know, but sometimes it just really seems like people don't want to think or even try.
I've dealt with this stuff for a long, long, time. Either every customer I've had to help suffers from a severe disability that hampers their ability to see, hear and think or most people are just idiots who aren't even trying.
I'd hate to think the disability rate is so high considering how full our parking lot often is, so it's more likely people are idiots.

. I was at a store with a friend and someone asked me if I worked there... I looked at her incredulously and let her know that I didn't.
