I think in these cases people are just claiming to be disabled so they can get the business owner to settle out of court.
If this kind of thing keeps up I guarantee this law will be revised, probably at the expense of people that really CANT bend over to pick up their keys. JMO |
I see! So people who were not denied anything, are saying they were...and then sueing? Makes sense.
Unfortunatley this happens with everything these days. One of my two jobs is for a large, public, and nationwide corporation. the things that people have tried to sue our company for are too many to name and almost always silly (for example sueing for hospital bills and pain and suffering b/c this person walked face-first into a wall and we did not have lights or reflectors on this wall to alert her that it was there)
. Unfortunately we live in a sue happy world and it is hard for small business to keep up with the legal fees.
But back to the subject at hand...I don't think that any of us here are going to sue wal-mart b/c they won't let up bring our dog in there. But it sure would be nice if they did let us.
I would never get truely angry about my dog not being allowed admittance unless the store had advertised that pets were allowed...or if I had a working service animal (and the right to have one). But I will say that if Wal-mart ever does start allowing dogs in carriers...I would certaintly shop there more than Target of K-mart.
