Genuine question: Why do you worry about taking your cane to interviews? I'm not disabled, so I'm not really sure what I'm missing here, but if you need the aid, you need the aid, right? I'm just trying to understand

Jobs aren't supposed to discriminate in interviews, but they do. I've been to interviews where they see the cane and I can tell instantly that it's a no, purely because they think I'm incapable of moving around without it. As someone who uses a mobility aid part-time, and requires minimal accommodations, it's really annoying for folks to immediate brush off an applicant over something so minute. And like I said, they aren't SUPPOSED to, but it's also easy for them to say, "hey it's reasonable for us to want someone able-bodied because we need you to be able to move around and do stuff to this degree".
