In our race to be so accomodating, we're doing things like this.
I can't tell you how much I respect small business people. Often they work long hard hours and find a lot of satisfaction in being part of a community.
But someone has to screw it up. I don't know that I am unsympathetic to the guy in the wheelchair. But, maybe he should have just gone somewhere that does have what he needs.
In the end, the need to be right is costing Richmond a community business. Maybe these people can go to work for Amazon or Wal-Mart. In the meantime, the guy in the wheelchair won't be getting his hamburger anyway. And I guess he can take satisfaction in the fact that a lot of others won'te either.
Hope he's proud.

'Two harsh years of COVID, high food inflation, and a recent ADA compliance lawsuit have taken a toll on our small family business,' owners George and Helen Koliavas announced the closure.
George told SFGate that there were discussions about constructing a wheelchair-accessible ramp, but the cost was too high.
After the Americans with Disabilities Act compliance lawsuit was filed against the restaurant last year, George and Helen decided that the best moved was to close.
