What would you say to a person that comes to your establishment in a wheelchair, and cannot enter because there is no lift for them?

I am the a/c that said the Friedman thing.

I would honestly get another person (employee, more than likely) and we would pick them up and make it work. I think it would become a service that would get me a lot of other new business.

Amazing how Biblical principles and free markets actually make everything better for everyone.

What if that person files a complaint and you find yourself facing a fine if you don't make the necessary alterations?

What if the cost of re-fitting my place of business is cost-prohibitive (e.g. my family can't pay our mortgage or there will be no cash to pay utilities for 2 months at the business, directly causing us to go bankrupt)?

That is the real life problem. It unnecessarily only hurts the business (the handicapped person whom was probably not actually offended will get over it and can shop somewhere else but the business owner is ruined for nothing).

I agree compassion and understanding on an individual level are definitely required in resolving this matter. Two things really lacking in this world.

I wonder if compassion was one of the reasons the Fed created the ADA in the first place.
