Blind people sue Target because they can't access Target's website.

I don't know.  That car wash would definitely have to have ramps and stuff for other disabilities.  But courts use common sense.  They're not going to punish a car wash for not providing equal access to people who could never use the service to begin with.  Anyway, you have to have standing to file suit, and if a person's illegal behavior hasn't harmed you in any way, you have no case.  It would never go to trial.

Answer that first, then we can talk.

That's where i was going with this post, and they won't bother if a person could not actually use the product or service.

I feel there is no difference in this and a target website, they would and could not ever really use it.

And, they could not ever really buy anything at the store. Someone would have to do it for them.

They may need to have braille signs so that the blind can find out what is behind the door... so that they won't walk in on a car wash in operation.

They could for instance buy a TV, an ipod, some toys for their kids, a suitcase or lots of other things.

No door.  Its the kind of car wash where you drive in, put in $1.75 in quarters, and get 8 minutes of water.

The braille is on the machine you put the quarters in.
