Same as brale on the keypad at drive up banks
Government regulations waste billions.
Yall!!!
There are some preditory lawyers roaming around B'ham and surrounding areas. They will get a handicapped person to "represent" and they are suing businesses on behalf of these handicapped people. It just cost one of my friends over 10K who owned a store that didn't meet the handicapped regulations. His place is a small store, no stairs….only 8 parking spots total, and there are never more than 2 or 3 cars there (when they are busy.) He had to pay a fortune and on top of it "fix" things to meet reglations. It didn't change anything other than a bit of paint on the parking lot. He told me he knew of at least 5 other places they sued. All of them had to pay a fortune and fix things….that didn't really change how a handicapped person would navigate things.
Don't get me wrong….I am all for accessibility and equal rights, but these lawyers are OBVIOUSLY working the system for a quick dollar.
About 20 years ago, Judy needed some minor surgery done at the local hospital. The big recovery room was split into about a dozen individual sections, all curtained off for each patients privacy. After her surgery, she was placed into one of these sections and a nurse came and got me from the waiting room and said "go through this door and your wife is in cubicle 8, just look for the marker - you can't miss it". Sure enough, hanging down from the 12' high ceiling was a 6" plaque with the number for each cubicle. Of course it had both the number 8 that I could read and also had it in Braille. When the Doc came in to release Judy, I asked how many 10' tall blind people they treated and pointed up at the sign. Without hesitation, he replied "none so far, but we're ready for them!" Bob
Some years ago
I read a story about a laywere in california
he traved all thru the state to all the small towns and did the" sue every store and shop "for not being handicap friendly I think he was handicapped
Most he never even went in just filed suit on a driveby visusl a lot of small mom and pop places had to close could not afford the up grades and his law suits
He made a fortune traving the back roads and smal towns
So, why do you know about yoga studios?
Because I'm not allowed to go to the gentlemen 's club.
