People who use wheelchairs or scooters: Tip three
When you go out to eat, be prepared for restaurants and servers who know
how to remove chairs and those who will wonder how to seat you and your friend!
If there's any question, just
step up and ask the server to completely remove the necessary chairs — pushing
them to one side just makes you and your friend feel like you're dining in
chaos. And seating at tables located along the outside (not the farthest corner)
is often best.
Never lean on a person’s wheelchair back or arm. In fact, it’s a good idea to
simply not touch the chair at all since the chair is part of your friend’s
personal space.
Not everyone who uses a wheelchair is sick. Believe it or not, completely
healthy people use wheel chairs or scooters due to mobility problems or
distance. They aren’t doing this to get special treatment; they are doing this
so they can make it through their day without collapse. Others are in good
health but are simply unable to walk through their days so they use a wheelchair
from morning till night.
