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:

Poll #3406 Wheelchair Accessibility: Is it optional?

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

Yay! I don't see it much around here, and because of that friend, I think, my boyfriend is always scrutinizing cars for placards/plates. He gets quite angry when someone's in the spot without one ... and then gets even more angry when he goes into the store and reports it, and the usual response is a shrug. *twitch*

He also tends to be suspicious of someone not visibly disabled who's using a tag, since so many people abuse them when a family member has one temporarily, but I poke him and remind him to give them the benefit of the doubt because we have two friends with rheumatoid arthritis whose primary outward symptoms for those who don't know them are slow walking and blogging.

Hey, those are my primary symptoms.

*nodnod* Yeah, that's why I mostly watch out for the tags. And also never judge people on the bus.
