Blind people sue Target because they can't access Target's website.
patrickl:
In some cases the website == the product and then it's even more important to make it accessible to the blind/vision impaired. For instance government sites or online news sites. That's where I get the strongest requirements for making the sites we build accessible for people with poor eyesight.
ChadTower:
Target is not one of those cases.

Actually it's exactly as I put it. They want a product suited to they're needs. And the product that Target has is the website which has they're product line on it. It's not about the fact that it doesn't support the blind lifestyle. It's the fact that someone wants some money and has come up with a way to get it.....and they probably will. You could probably sue the city you live in right now if you stubbed your toe on a piece of the sidewalk that was sticking up to high. People are too pampered and bleeding hearts are way too abundant. Remember when we were kids (and we as in people over 30) if they didn't have it for you then tough ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- the world still spun and people were still happy. It's not really evolution we are experiencing....well maybe an evolution of greed.
ChadTower:
I work ten hours a day on retail web services for one of the largest retail chains on the planet. Just like Target but a whole lot bigger and better with many, many more gov't regulations. HIPAA, Sarbanes Oxley, ADA, every security protocol short of military level encryption, you name it we must conform to it. ADA is very low on that priority ladder, lemme tell ya.

You're using the word "work" loosely, right?
