Example of Access Fatigue
Candace is a Blind woman who was included in Annika Konrad's framing of access fatigue. Candance had just moved to a new city, and during her orientation and mobility training, she had learned that grocery stores are supposed to be able to provide a store shopper to help her identify items. However, she had been repeatedly denied access to help from a store shopper at one particular grocery store. This caused a lot of frustration and inaccess leading to Candace to give up on shopping at that grocery store unless she had afriend or family member to accompany her because after all the effort she had spent searching for a grocery store where someone would accomodate her, it was not worth it her to explain to the grocery store why she needed help to shop in their store.
