Quick accessibility question: What do you do with your wheelchair when you are at restaurants particularly when the restaurant is small and a bit inaccessible? A few weeks ago I went downtown with my mom for lunch and ended up not taking my wheelchair out because it was just a short walk, and I ended up regretting it. The restaurant was closed and I had to walk another two blocks to find an open restaurant that I could eat at. I didn’t bring the chair because the restaurant’s downtown are often quite small and can be very busy, so I was worried about where we would put my wheelchair if the restaurant was small, and you never know if staff are going to be nice about storing the chair somewhere or putting it next to the table if the restaurant is busy. Hope my question makes sense.😵‍💫

I think I've got the gist of that! If the place is accessible I usually just 'park' it at the table when they pull a chair out, although I have left my manual chair near the doors at the entrance before - your best bet is just to ask somebody working there where the best place is to leave it and it should be no issue at all!

@@LifeOfPippa Thank you. It’s something that could cause anxiety and make you nervous if you’ve never done it before. Even though I’m not an anxious person and am pretty confident in my wheelchair, people can be really rude where I live. Of course if they are rude, me and my family will say something because I don’t deserve to be treated badly just because I’m disabled. 😎
