Avoid the Tradition of Disabilities Discrimination

A certain very famous clothing retailer has been in the news lately for refusing entry to the service dog of a loyal, blind customer. This kind of insensitivity is the timeless sort, the kind suffered by disabled customers since decades immemorial. Unfortunately these acts of discrimination against customers with disabilities continues to happen:

Recently I arrived to give a keynote speech on what turned out to be the third floor of a well-known venue. As I didn’t spot an elevator, I asked how audience members with disabilities were supposed to attend my speech. The venue’s manager responded: "I guess we’d be stuck carrying them up the steps."
