A wheelchair-bound Weymouth man suffering from multiple sclerosis says he’s being denied his right to a hot cup of coffee at Dunkin’ Donuts.
Donald Hayes said he’s bought coffee before by driving his motorized wheelchair up to the drive-up window at a Dunkin’ Donuts shop in the middle of a Weymouth shopping-market parking lot.
But now, that Dunkin’ store, which has no inside seating and only serves drive-up customers, has told him he can’t use the window anymore and refused him service, citing traffic safety concerns.
“It’s discrimination,” said Hayes, 54, who says he’s an ordained minister with an online following.
Hayes said he’s thinking of taking legal action if he can’t whirl up to the window to get his java.
“I’m just defending my rights,” Hayes said. “I’m not looking for monetary compensation.”
How about the rights of ordinary citizens to not have to be in danger of running your crippled ass over? You do not have a right to have a cup of coffee!

And there's MORE -- there is ANOTHER Dunkin Donuts RIGHT ACROSS THE DAMN STREET that has a walk-in area that's completely capable of handling this attention-seeking scumbag. But NO, he's demanding his right to go to THIS ONE building. What a scumbag.
I would consider it more of a lawsuit lottery... except you get much better odds in a lawsuit than you do in the corner store scratching off a ticket.
