“They’re stationary booths,” he told The Post. “I’m not humongous, [but] I’m a big guy. I could not wedge myself in.”
Mortified and in pain from smacking his knee into one of the table’s metal supports, Kessman limped out of the restaurant, and later penned a complaint to corporate headquarters.


The Rockland County man says the chain’s uncomfortable booths violate the civil rights of fat people.

And one person's idiocy is always proof to conservatives that the world is going to hell in a handbasket.

Though I guess I can understand his point about pregnant women. For him to claim a disability because he weighs 290 pounds...not so much.

Why?

And are you sure you want to say everyone? What about the guy at the bar who has had too much to drink? Should he still be accommodated?

I knew this was going to happen, eventually everything will cater to larger people since America as a nation is just getting bigger & bigger. I hope he wins the case and businesses will open their eyes and stop being greedy.

And reader, before you blabber on about how fat people need to lose weight remember that I know several tall guys 6'0 and up who complain about seats in cars, planes, and buses not having enough leg room for them. So don't you dare say that this is a exclusively a "fat" problem.

Is this ignorant observation necessary? Is it just to cause contention?
