My answer is exactly what a short person would say if I said "don't want to get a ladder?"

The big difference being, you can use the function of your own body and safely obtain what you want on the lower shelves. A short person would need to get an outside aid, or climb up the shelves, which could ruin the isle for everyone else.
I'm not saying a short person should be able to demand a taller person help them, but I don't think it is comparable.
Then again, I am not tall, so I can't claim to know if bending down is harder for a person of far greater height.

Six foot six checking in here. Being tall usually comes with back problems. Bending over sucks.

that's not even close to being a fair equivalency.
