My post office is owned by someone in California. I’m in Missouri. We NEED some concrete repair, but we GOT an ADA compliant bathroom. We had to shut down the bathroom for about six weeks, put up with all the noise and dust from the part-time contractors, and we finally are ADA compliant, down to the wheelchair accessible water fountain.

Yay.

There are no handicapped employees in our office, no public access to the bathrooms, and we’re required to be physically capable enough to lift 75 lbs out of the bottom of our parcel hampers. What the hell do we need an ADA compliant bathroom for?

You are up against the bizarre unnatural reading of ADA compliance foisted off on the entire federal government by a mentally ill ADA compliance person somewhere.

You will hunt in vain for the guy who did that.

We had ADA compliant cra**ers installed at USPS headquarters and when they got done they discovered they were not Orthodox Jewish, Hindu or Islamic compliant ~ for the ladies. Problem was the doors on the stalls SWUNG INWARDS ~ they'd gotten the extra space for the handicapped toilet out of the space needed for the nonhandicapped ladies toilet space.

BTW, at USPS headquarters there are a fair share of Jewish, Hindu and Moslem women ~ kind of a compendium of everybody from everywhere in America!
