Surprise, Surprise: Hollister Discriminates Against the Disabled
A federal judge has ruled that Hollister is in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Hollister’s stores are supposed to resemble Southern California surf shacks. Most Hollister stores in the U.S. feature entrances that are built to look like front porches. Front porches with stairs. And that’s where the problem lies.
And UK’s Daily Mail, in a section with the unfortunate name “Femail,” as well as Salon, and The Gloss:
Hollister Spent Four Years Refusing To Accommodate People With Disabilities Because Of Course They Did
If you’ve ever been near a Hollister store, you know that it reeks of mildewy cologne spilt in a hot bathroom. But you also may know that its storefront is inaccessible to those with disabilities, as they are made to look like porches to “surf shacks,” stairs included (as you can see above). After a four-year class-action lawsuit against the company for discrimination, a judge has ruled that Hollister’s stores violate the Americans With Disabilities Act.

Great coverage–congrats! I’m not sure if we have Hollister here in the east, but if we do, I promise to flick them a dignified gray-haired-old-lady bird as I go past their stupid front porch.

Gee, I feel like I do when I have a connection with a famous person. “Oh, Amy Robertson. I am close and personal friends with her and her family. Oh, and I know her husband as if he were a son.” Congratulations.
