I'm all for Safeway, Wal-mart and other big corporations to have measures in place to accomodate the disabled, but when it boils right down to some avarage joe who operates one store in [/i]one[/i] location, i feel these types of businesses should be exempt from these "guidelines" simply for the fact every location should not be expected to accomodate disabilities.
I'm not trying to be a dick, i just feel your at a loss when you have a disability and the entire world cannot function to your liking nor should "building codes" include every which business.

Careful. Check out Ontario here (I can't seem to find Alberta):

According to them, there is no difference between small or large
stores. All must be accessible, or on the way to do so. Note that
it is a Human Rights complaint which can be lodged.
Looks like the GoC, court system, and our Constitution are against
you.
I too thought there was an exclusion for small business, but I stand
corrected.
