By the sounds of things..this was a private business.
The city/province has more of a responsibility to provide for the disabled citizens than an avarage joe running his own store. Especially when that disabled citizen is paying taxes, they have the right to that disabled spot or that bank in the curb just as much as i have the right to better roads etc with my tax dollars. But when we are talking privately owned small businesses, i believe it's up to the owner to decide what he/she should and should not do and nobody should be in the way to dictate.
Being disabled is just that - disabled - so you can't expect to be able to have access to everything those who aren't do. That just isn't feisable or logic thinking. As a society, we try out best to accommodate those with special needs, but at the end of the day, it cannot be perfect.
