In Nunuet, New York a man is suing White Castle fast food restaurant for their small table booths. Martin Kessman is filing suit because he believes the small booths violates his rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act and that the difficulty of getting into the booth-style seating was simply demeaning in a busy restaurant situation. Kessman states that after he complained to White Castle about the seating the restaurant promised him they were going to put more space between the bench and the table but never did. And any changes to accommodate the larger customers were never made. Also, after Kessman complained he stated he got three letters that were patronizing. Since he filed the lawsuit Kessman refuses to set a single foot in White Castle, so instead he makes his wife get the burger and fries he orders.
This article made me quite sad for future generations. Today’s society is consumed with some of the most ridiculous lawsuits. I believe that nowadays suing somebody has been made into one of the quickest ways to make some cash. It is quite ridiculous to think that you can sue over how much space you have at a booth. What is next being able to take someone to court for bad service or if your fries are too salty? Where does it stop? When is an enough enough?
This also makes me quite disappointed is White Castle. This nation’s waist size is unfortunately growing. Fast food chains are on of the major causes of obesity in the United States. From this article it shows me that fast food chains are making no effort to accommodate the heftier community in any way. Still this business concentrates their energies towards insuring that they get the most out of their budget and disregards any comfort towards the customer. Seems to me, that it would make better business sense to gear its efforts towards the larger consumer? Since they do eat more wouldn’t it make since that they would in turn by more food? Kinds sounds like White Castel is cutting of its nose despite its face.
