You know what would be a useful quasi-reality show?

Get a bunch of disabled people with various mobility devices, particularly wheeled ones, and send them out into community, to venues and offices and stores. Have them record their struggles with steps into stores, aisles that are too small, items that are too high, clerks who blow them off when they ask for help. Bathrooms that can’t actually be used in a wheelchair. Dispensers placed out of reach. Counters with point of sale devices you can’t reach, never mind see.

And of course they should contact the owners and give them a certain time to improve. Then they go back and see if they did. And they name (and shame, if necessary) the places in question.

It could be called Accessibility Warriors.
