Review 3/27/2009

I was asked to commit to spend 90 minutes at their showroom to evaluate if I would like to become a member, and that I would be served a drink, but indeed I was not. after a brief introduction, the employee who greeted me had enough information that he mentioned he noticed that I suffer from back pain;. he nevertheless brought me to a room where a presentation had already been in progress and ordered me to sit in a specific chair
It did not much matter which chair he wanted me to sit in as they were all the same - they were much too soft for me and my body sank, thereby causing me much more discomfort than I was able to tolerate. So after about a half-hour, I interrupted the woman doing the presentation telling her I needed a better chair to sit in in order to alleviate my back pain
She said she would get someone to help me and briefly left the room. About a minute later, the man who originally greeted me told me to gather my belongings and follow him. I did so and he escorted me to a side door exit and told me to “have a nice day” and that I had “interrupted the tour,” do you think he really cared whether or not I had a nice (remainder of the))day
Since he had slammed the door in my face, I obviously did not have have time to tell him how he had interrupted my life and my valuable time for which I am usually compensated at a minimum rate of thirty dollars an hour. I had cleared three hours of my time to include travel time and adhered to their rules to not bring pets nor children and bring my spouse, if any
In conclusion it was a complete waste of my time and travel expenses resulting only in being reminded of my handicapped position and being humiliated just for expecting a reasonable chair that I can comfortably sit in, and I never did get that drink
This ia a matter that cries out discrimination of the handicapped and cries out for a report to the attorney general if no offer of reasonable compensation is made
