A bar manager in Manchester told a wheelchair user she had to leave because the venue wasn't safe for her, even though she was with friends and the bar was accessible. She pushed back, but he wouldn't budge without a concrete safety plan for her presence.
She's the daughter of a woman I know, and she's a wheelchair user. And she went out with her friends in Manchester on a night out. So a big metropolitan city, and they let her in this bar. And then a manager came over and told her she had to leave the bar because it wasn't safe for her to be in there. And even though she was, she's a very assertive young woman and was able to say, no, my friend's here to assist. You've let me in. This is an accessible place. The manager actually made her leave that bar because he didn't have a plan in place
