Poll of Passive Aggressive Complaining

[trouble]

So, a coffee shop moved in to my beloved tea shop. I miss my tea shop, deeply, but I also like having a place to drink hot drinks that's air conditioned and has tables and stuff, and thus, here I am.

And I got used to being around people who though "Accessibility matters!". I'm really missing that especially right now.

Noting that I've already asked people to stop putting the table out front so it blocks the only way for a wheelchair to get into this building (both this store and the one next door) twice, and both times people have said "Oh, yeah, that's important" and then not moved it until I've said "Look, my husband will be here soon, and he'd like to get in your shop, kk?", I ask this question:

How many times will I need to ask the coffee shop to stop putting a table in front of the accessible entrance?

The first time I asked the person I spoke to said he would talk to the manager about it. Because "being accessible" is apparently something people need to run by management.

While that person wasn't here when I got here, it was because it was his lunch break, and he was back by the time the other employees realised I was serious about wanting them to move the damned table. Again.

But yeah - I've worked enough service industry jobs to know that the messages are slow to be passed along.
