"We attempted to reserve an outdoor table but were informed that outdoor seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. I explained to the staff that I am severely immunocompromised and requested a special exception, as it would be impossible for me to dine indoors. If that couldn't be accommodated, we would have to leave. The manager then spoke to me and said, “Sorry! If I make an exception for you, I’d have to do it for everyone,” and refused my request. She added that if I arrived and felt uncomfortable staying, it would be my decision. This experience felt very ableist and was quite disappointing. I genuinely hope that the manager never has to face a condition that requires her to depend on special accommodations."
