I'm looking at the picture in the article. You absolutely could not get a wheelchair up to that door without people carrying it. I'm aware of standing, and in this case it seems pretty clear cut.

>>> 1,400 businesses were potentially breaking the law and denying access to people with disabilities, shouldn't they be the subject of suits?

In this case? Maybe. You made a statement about all the cases they brought. I responded to that general statement, not this specific case.

It's possible every suit they brought against a business was for a situation where people with disabilities really were harmed. If that's the situation, I'm not sure why someone with a real disability didn't bring the cases then.

There are reasons why people are required to have standing to bring a case. I think it's pretty obvious what some of those reasons are.

Not to mention, there's literally the exact same business two blocks away that IS ADA-compliant.

This has nothing to do with not being able to buy coffee, and everything to do with hurting the business in the hopes of getting a large settlement.
