Businesses are required to make reasonable adjustments for disabled
customers and employees.

They are not required to make unreasonable adjustments. Farmers are not
required to concrete over their fields so that people in wheelchairs can
harvest the crop. Radio stations are not required to somehow make their
programming available to deaf people. Battersea Dogs Home is not
required to kill all the dogs so that they can employ someone who is
allergic to dogs. Minicab drivers are not required to replace or
substantially rebuild their vehicles.
