Current location:the coffee shop that used to be a tea shop
Current mood: annoyed
Entry tags:disability: disabled people don't exist, halifax isn't accessible, ticky boxes are love
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?
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 60


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

...and entirely coincidentally, I just came across this YouTube video of a prank by Improv Everywhere which showcases not only a clever stencil-in-the-bottom-of-a-cardboard-box design (prevents getting overspray all over your shoes), but also spray chalk! Who knew?

Of course, I wouldn't want to be accused of inciting anybody to public mischief or anything. What you do with this knowledge is entirely up to you.
