You can sue anyone for any reason. It doesn't mean it holds water and this one certainly doesnt. For the ada it has to be a significant effect on your daily life, food allergies aren't going to be part of that and a business has the right to charge more for what costs them more which would be a reasonable accommodation anyway.

Yes and advocacy groups have sued the states that are not in compliance on larger points of the ADA, like labor conditions. Guess how much media attention those suits get?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

None, those are logical so they don't grab attention the same way as the ravings of a lunatic.

[–] CooperRedArmyDog@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

well because those threaten the status quo at large. If companies had to start hireing with provisions of the ADA then they would lose less profit so they hush those up. but this one, this povides the illusion that the ADA is for the most part being followed and its just a few minor odds and ends $1.50 here and their that are out of wack...
