This is apparently in Columbus, Ohio – a pretty major city by any stretch of the imagination.
And yet there are people who rail (geddit?) against 15-minute cities and efficient public transit that ensures no one ever gets stuck like this.

Uber exists. They could have easily spun up the app and called for a ride.
Buses also hit grocery stores or surrounding areas, often even in towns with limited public transit.
Also AAA is very widely used to tow/get a ride when your car breaks down
Y’all wilding out. Uber, lyft, AAA - those are paid services. If your car is randomly breaking down in a parking lot, you probably don’t have a lot of money, people with money don’t drive unreliable cars. I mean sure, maybe they left the dome light on for hours, but I doubt it.
Yes its insane you can’t find affordable housing close to stores. Yes needing a car sucks.
Surprisingly carbrained for a community called fuckcars, this place
Breaking up an echo chamber is rarely a bad thing. Life is full of nuance.
I mean, parts fail. I had a new battery shit out on me after a couple of months, despite keeping up with regular maintenance. Everyone in this thread is running with completely unverified ideas about why the event happened the way it did, with no supporting evidence and then lashing out at others for disagreeing. Y’all all trying to verify your biases.
Doesn’t an AAA membership cost money and have limits on how often you can use it each year
Clearly a single mom with two kids who can’t afford the upkeep on her car doesn’t have the money to spend on an Uber ride, or she would’ve done that already.
The bus network in and around Columbus, Ohio (which is most likely where this happened, based on OOP’s location) also doesn’t seem to be all that great – for all you know the nearest bus stop to the grocery store or to their house may well be kilometers away
For all you both know, apparently. You’re both arguing your side without much of a basis in fact…seems a little desperate.
