The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires self-serve gas stations to provide equal access to their customers with disabilities. If necessary to provide access, gas stations must -Provide refueling assistance upon the request of an individual with a disability. A service station or convenience store is not required to provide such service at any time that it is operating on a remote control basis with a single employee, but is encouraged to do so, if feasible.Let patrons know (e.g., through appropriate signs) that customers with disabilities can obtain refueling assistance by either honking or otherwise signaling an employee.Provide the refueling assistance without any charge beyond the self-serve price.

The newer pumps have it built in to the key pad.

Plus there is some type of help sign on the next face of same column

A button that isn't accessible for a disabled person, not really any assistance.

 

[ADAguy]

Button not wc accessible.

 

[JBI]

File it under 'close but no cigar'.

 

[cda]

The button was there before ADA was enacted.

Your "point" is?
So what? No Grandfathering.

I am quite sure the button was original install, when they built the place.

The newer pump dispensers have help buttons built into them.

Plus looks like the place has additional direction posted, if a person needs help

So what if the button was original, owner/operator has a duty to remove barrier.

Even if another code or Ada approved means to get help is provided

 

[SCBO1]

The button does not say "Push for Service" it sez "Push for see ICE"

Not accessibly unless you use the windshield squeegee!

Is our beloved Tiger now making site visits just by the push of a button?

So what if the button was original, owner/operator has a duty to remove barrier.

What if the button doesn't work? I'm not trying to be smart, I genuinely want to know. Someone with a mobility impairment would not be aware the button does not work. Is the perception of discrimination still discrimination?

.Let patrons know (e.g., through appropriate signs) that customers with disabilities can obtain refueling assistance by either honking or otherwise signaling an employee.

I bet the sign on the wall makes the old button a moot point of discussion

 

[cda]

Stop pushing my buttons

Plus the one on the dispenser panel

 

[steveray]
