I had a friend who owned his own small record store on the top floor of a 3 story building and all you had to get up there was a narrow winding staircase. I don't know the ins & outs of the details of what the law is there but there's no way he could have made his store accessible for disabled customers.

But I have a feeling you're just starting this thread because you now hate disabled people.
No, I don't hate cripples, but I don't think any company should be forced to make their store wheelchair accessible or what have you. If crips don't like it, they could just take their business elsewhere.

There's a better argument for government offices & what have you, but it should be used with discretion. In Kansas City, for example, one of the university's (to comply with the law) had to carve this monstrous complex of zigging & zagging ramps & a few elevators so cripples could make it up the hill.
