Granny here,
Where do I start? Do businesses not understand the meaning of the word Handicapped? Shall I spell it out for them? The word indicates that a person may have some problems getting in and out of a business or restaurant. Monday we went for an outing with family and decided to stop at Cracker Barrel for lunch which for the most part is as good a place as any but when it comes to handicapped parking they are way down on the ladder of success. There parking is half way around the building while the front door parking is for customers picking up there carry outs. Go figure, where do they think a handicapped person gets the strength to walk that far to get into there restaurant? They barely have the strength to get out and try to go somewhere.
My mother is 94 years old and doesn't have all that energy that it takes to master that walk to the door. This is not the only restaurant that puts handicapped people at the bottom of the priority list. Handicap spaces should be as close to the door as possible, fit folks need to understand that a walk into a restaurant can be an Olympian challenge for a handicapped person. Yes, I agree they may need a challenge once in a while but not that kind.
Get real and get those parking places closer to the door and let the fit folks get the exercise.
Shame on you if you don't!
Granny here, just saying!
