"System Fail: ADA trumps OSHA for biggest lack of common sense"
I don't know where to start.
You'll have to read and form your own opinion...

Paul Kroenke is following the story at the OrganizedExploitation blog:
"Unless you're in a wheelchair, in which case the 45" high counter - designed at this height for the ergonomic health of Chipotle's employees and to comply with various OSHA lawsuits, along with the actual benefit of increased productivity - is too high for you to see over. This is when Chipotle, in order to best accommodate all of its customers, actually brings the food around the counter to you, providing you the highest level of service imaginable, to ensure that you, like anyone else, can see what it is you would like to have on your burrito.
But still, that damn, counter! That counter isn't fair. You don't want to be treated any differently that anyone else, even though you are different. You want to be able to shuffle through the Chipotle line three lousy inches at a time like all the rest of the cattle, damnit! It's time to sue! And so it goes, all the way to the Supreme Court, who refuses to hear Chipotle's claims that you are frivolous and lawsuit happy, and so the 9th Circuit's ridiculous ruling stands"
