I think it's illegal to occupy all the sidewalk like that. I'd give police a call.

You could send a tip to an ADA lawyer. Or maybe report them for not meeting fire code.
Agree! And to add for OP Iβm sure the Fire Marshall would love to hear about how people canβt get in or out of the building. Fire Marshall is probably the fastest option for everyoneβs safety.
Good for you OP for keeping your community safe !
ADA lawyer
The photo shows a Shoppers Drug Mart store, which means OP is in Canada. Iβm sure thereβs a Canadian equivalent though.
An Act to ensure a barrier-free Canada (the Accessible Canada Act)
Start with the complaint to the town as that is free.
"trip" and knock a few down
The shit has wheels and isn't behind a fence. Move it yourself, tell them to fuck off, and go back the next day and move it again until the management give up. What are they going to do? Get a police stake out? Hire RoboCop to uphold the law? Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity.
Stupidity and malice very often go hand in hand.
Allow us to introduce you to... malicious incompetence.
Except in American MAGA politics, where an idea is usually conceived in malice, but carried out incompetently, then blamed on Democrats when it predictably goes wrong. It's called The MAGA Razor

Trip on one of the pots on the ground and tumble yourself into the racks to create a domino effect
And then sue them to kingdom come.
You act like you can't walk on the road. Literally like in this illustration:
Yeah, you shouldn't have to but fuck cars. Roads are for people not steel cans.
Have you ever seen a person with a disability who uses a walker or wheelchair try to drop down from a tall curb?
Regardless of who's liable, they don't want to get hurt doing something completely unnecessary.
I'm acting like the company shouldn't be assholes, and use the abundance of space along the rest of the front face of that building.
My wording wasn't quite right there. This does mostly affect disabled people. I was just trying to bring out how infrastructure for cars leaves like a walkway on a cliff for pedestrians.
Nobody wants to shop anymore
Millennials are killing the shitty supermarket plant industry
So youβre saying this large chain-store put out a bunch of free plants for people to take at their leisure?
Wow, what a maze. Are there accessibility laws that might be violated where this is?
OP, just move the racks.
I'd say pour salt into each pot but I fear the plants are the propery of a local nursery and it's not their fault the store is managed by idiots
I donβt say this as a justification but they have probably placed them further out so the plants can get light. Back up against the building, under that overhang, they would not get the light they need, and after a few days this inventory would spoil and be lost, which is probably bad news for someoneβs job.
Again, not a justification. I just donβt think the placement is completely at random.
Honestly it probably is Kore stupidity than spite
It's a little ironic that you say they hate shoppers with a shopper's store in the background...

This has to be a fire code violation or something
Almost nobody is going to care about this, at all.
Out of all the things to screech about this isn't it. Jesus Christ lol.
If we are going to get off of our fossil fuel addiction and create walkable spaces everywhere, we're all going to have to care about this.
Holy ablism, Batman.
Again, I and most literally couldn't care less if they have to spend 3ft in low speed parking lot traffic like every other person. It's not the end of the world, people aren't getting run over and injured.
You are just looking to trigger that social media rage dopamine hit. Your worries are about as real and dumb as trans women taking over high school sports. It's just less hateful.
And here y'all are eating it up. I honestly cannot imagine getting so angry over this utterly minor inconvenience.
Frankly I think your paternalistic attitude over these HELPLESS people is probably the most offensive thing in here to anyone with a physical handicap.
I personally think your response to the issue being raised is exactly why America is a total dump that will never be able to have nice things. You're literally shutting down someone's criticism of the functionality of the public spaces in their everyday life because you don't think it's a big deal. But it's the laziness of things like this that actually make America a shitty place to live. It's an epidemic of poor decisions with regard to how much placement of things inconvenience others. This was clearly a poorly planned implemention of selling a ton of plants out front of the store. Someone raised the issue. But you. You decided to shut them down for it because they should get over it. There are bigger issues. Yeah fair enough I guess but also you're enabling shitty design and things will only get worse when there's folks like you that accept garbage and tell anyone who complains about it that they're crazy for saying anything about how it's garbage. /rant

There is no curb cut for someone with a wheelchair, mobility device, walker, stroller, shopping cart, or hand trolly to even do that. π

I wonder if everyone's eating it up or whether they have their own valid opinions.
I honestly cannot imagine getting so angry over this utterly minor inconvenience.
Honestly, you seem way more infuriated than OP posting in mildly infuriating with much less aggressive language and without dismissing people.
You didn't only share your disapproval or opinion, you made it a point to be dismissive.

This is a stupid take and you should feel bad.
The fact you are acting gleeful in response to an image of a completely unnecessary hurdle for people with physical display suggests that you're probably a bad person to be identifying those on high horses.
I'm not gleeful. I said you and the group are whiney bitches.
Looking for the most minor of situations to set off screeching. You have idiots in here arguing and white knighting and thinking that it's better in the rest of the world π€£
One fucking moron thinks one image is representative of the state of the ADA implementation.
Go be productive. This is just rage bait for the terminally online nerds. You are doing nothing but paternalising and hurting your own mental health.
"I'm not gleeful about disabled people facing challenges" he says as he gleefully mocks people for caring about challenges that disabled people face.
Leave your mom's basement. Touch grass. Talk to a real person.
