Saw this on yahoo... whats your take on it?

Even though we live in a supersized world, bigger is not always better. One devoted White Castle customer is suing the restaurant chain because he can't fit into the restaurant's booths. Martin Kessman, who weighs 290 pounds, complained to management for more than two years after repeatedly knocking his knee into the tables' metal supports. After the 64-year-old New York stockbroker sent a series of letters of complaint to the chain, he received what he called condescending responses. White Castle sent him free hamburger coupons and promised that it would expand its booth sizes. But the booths were never changed and Kessman is now taking his case to federal court. He is suing for bigger chairs and unspecified damages because he says the eatery is violating the Americans with Disabilities Act. (He compares himself to pregnant women and the handicapped.) The lawsuit, however, has not put an end to Kessman's love of mini burgers. Now, instead of going to White Castle himself, he sends his wife.

    Totally pitiful.
  • wow, I have no words for that! I don't feel making yourself fat is a real disability, he is 290, not bedridden, he can change it and also, wow! I really don't even know where to start!

    I wish a company like White Castle would hold a press conference, get the guy on stage, point and laugh. End of press conference. Then have a door way that will only let people "so" wide through their doors. "If you don't fit, you need to get fit."

    Take some f*ing pride in yourself and more importantly, responsibility for your actions.

    I tend to agree, with all of you. Bigger tables may have been achieved, but all dignity is lost.

    I have never been to this place, but I have seen the movie.
