It’s important to address this, but don’t expect a 25% gain in revenue by fixing mobility issues. The same CDC report says that mobility issues affect 1 in 7 people, or about 14%.

seems like such a simple idea. my wife, who uses a wheelchair, has become used to cashiers looking right over the top of her head to address me instead. i have taken to keeping silent so they are forced to recognize her as the one making the purchase. little things mean a lot to people in wheelchairs who would just like to be treated like anyone else.
