In this area, I took a friend of mine shopping during the early openings at various grocery stores and Costco on quite a few occasions. I never noticed any trampling or "trolley-snatching" happening even by the younger people who accompanied many of the seniors and/or disabled people. I did see people helping others shoppers on several occasions with reaching products on higher shelves, etc. I thought of it as showing common politeness. Perhaps just a Canadian thing...
