I usually study at a Starbucks for about 7 hours a day, and I sit fairly close to the door. If I see an elderly person (or any person) clearly struggling to walk, I’ll get up and hold the door for them. But I’m not sure how it comes across when the person isn’t necessarily struggling. Some people have walkers or canes or are SUPER slow but seem able to manage the door on their own, and I end up feeling guilty for not helping.
Maybe I’m just overthinking, but is it weird, socially unacceptable, or insulting (?) to go out of my way to hold the door for an elderly person who probably could have managed on their own?
