Woman in scooter claims bias by White Castle
June 15th, 2009She’s ‘madder than fish grease’
From the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star-Tribune:
Ariel Wade, who uses an electric mobility scooter to get around, was turned away when she attempted to use the drive-through window at a White Castle restaurant in St. Paul, MN.
Now Wade is charging discrimination, and the Minnesota Disability Law Center is weighing whether to take her case. The incident draws attention to an “unsettled” area of law, says staff attorney Justin Page.
The restaurant chain says it limits the drive-in window to licensed motor vehicles in the interest of customer safety.
