Tim Horton's fail

[calligrafiti]

A man in Nova Scotia is taking a Tim Hortons to the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission because he can't get his wheelchair into the restaurant and they won't let him use it at the drive-through.

While I could see some safety issues of having a wheelchair at the drive-through window, it seems like fixing the door accessibility issues (and internal maneuverability issues, which the claimant brings up) would have been a reasonable resolution.

Oh, I should have skipped the comments. There are people making the same damned arguments at that awful Penn & Teller special - "Since it would be hard to make places accessible for EVERYONE, we shouldn't work to make them accessible for ANYONE.

*sigh*

Nova Scotia, I can assure you, is not the best place I've lived in terms of accessibility issues. *cough*

Something about news paper comments pages seem to attract people with whom I tend to disagree. To put it mildly. I try not to read them for the sake of my blood pressure.

Especially the CBC, it seems to attract more wackos than other newspaper sites.
