As I left my apartment and began walking down the street, I noticed a person using a wheelchair waiting outside of a "convenience" store. There was one step to get into the store. Not, very convenient after all. Another person came up to the store, they chatted, one nodded agreeing and went into the store. It seemed as though the individual was purchasing something for the gentleman using the wheelchair, as he could not gain access to the store on his own. Thankfully, there are nice people out there that are willing to help in these circumstances.
It would be even better to try to allow for independent access. Some simple changes, would be to create a sloped entrance, wide enough aisle-ways and a low counter top...eventually updating the restroom, if there even is a restroom...actually I doubt there was.
