San Francisco restaurant closes and leaves angry note: "we don't give a f*** about gluten-free"

116. Shouldn't I expect every restaurant to follow the laws that apply to them,

including the ADA?

Not that I would ever trust the restaurant in the OP. But they shouldn't be applauded for their stand. That I don't understand at all.

From the government's own website about the ADA:


http://www.ada.gov/reachingout/lesson11.htm

This is why the ADA requires businesses to make “reasonable modifications” in their usual ways of doing things when it is necessary to accommodate customers who have disabilities. Most accommodations involve making minor adjustments in procedures or providing some extra assistance to a customer with a disability. Usually the customer will let you know if he or she needs some kind of accommodation.

SNIP

A customer with a food allergy may ask a restaurant if it is possible to omit a sauce or ingredient from a dish he or she wishes to order. When it is easy to do, the request should be honored.
