I’m all for providing equal access for those with disabilities, but at some point, you have to draw the line. What next? Suing a movie studio because the viewing experience is different if you can’t sit in one of the actual seats of the theater? Or perhaps Subway is a target since they’re no longer making the sandwich right in front of you…
These idiots have lost their minds. “the experience of watching their food prepared…”??????? Sometimes disabled people are nothing more than pains in the _ss looking for something to _itch about. Like this case. No business should have to incur the expense of retro-fitting their facility so some moron in a wheelchair can “enjoy the experience of watching his food being prepared”. It would be different if this was a place that catered to only the disabled, but there is no common senese here. He, his attorney, and his ridiculous claim are pathetic.
One thing we should all note is this is the 9th circuit. Search their rulings including the recent Arizona one.
Now, the employees need to sue for injury for having to bend over so far to prepare food that back injuries are suffered.
No wonder companies are outsourcing and moving out of the U.S.
Appears the 9th Circus-Act has topped even themselves with this ‘finding’ – obvious effort to ‘energize’ retail businesses to retro-fit their places of business with a full suite of ramps, appliances and artifacts for the slightly increased convenience of, what, 2% of their customer base.
Anyway, if the party in question wants a better view, all they have to do is move back from the chow line several feet and they can see just fine
Although that might cause a suit for binoculars or telescopes to provide the exact ‘equal’ viewing experience
What a collection of dweebs !

Glad I’m not the only one that had that reaction.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is headquartered in San Francisco, California.
That compound in Idaho is starting to look a lot better.
What the heqq, wheel ’em into the kitchen & let them watch.

I thought the Disabilities Act said “reasonable accomodation”? But then when it comes to some judges, they don’t know the meaning of that….
