There was a story written several years ago where a man in a wheelchair made a living suing people.

He would go to places and measure the rails and openings.

Even 1 inch to high and he would sue.

 

This man did this allmost full time.

He had no job, just this and made big bucks.

The reason was that any person can sue the bussiness owners and make money.

Years ago I worked for a man who got polio when he was a child.

He was in a wheelchair.

I asked him why no handicapped plate on your car?

 

His reply was who the f##k is handicapped?

 

I asked about getting into places with narrow doors. His reply was "well they don't want my money"

Reminds me of a high school friend who had had polio when he was 6 or 8. Didn't seem to have damaged him in the least, but he later used it to get himself a 4-F classifications to keep him out of the Army. He said when he went down for his induction physical, he acted like a total basket case - and had his doctor's report to show he'd had polo.

20 years ago I remodeled a building from "office / shop" to a restaurant.

 

it had more than sufficient # of toilets for the sq' / occupancy.

even had a back door that met fire code.

sufficient off street parking

wired for industrial use. 3 phase

 

what it did not have was wheel chair accessible anything.

Plumbing was a nightmare.

 

door width is not an easy fix .. = wall demolition

 

wheel chair toilets are further from the wall than regular toilets .. = jackhammer the floor & redo all the plumbing in 2 existing code bathrooms (only needed plastic on walls) to move 2 toilets over about 6". (grab bar)

 

not sure a wheelchair ever rolled through the door.

 

owners should be able to choose the clients they want to serve.

 

I can remember 1 particular poster on nana plaza that ranted 'for ever' about GGs choosing who they do let in & who they don't
