The Plowshare Center of Waukesha is hosting a forum on Saturday, February 2nd titled “The Human Face of Equality: Securing Human Rights for All”. Registration starts at 8:30 am, with the program running from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. The event will be held at Carroll University in the Campus Center Ballroom (corner of East and College).

I agree that the folks at this Kwik Trip are great at assisting disabled people like myself but I…Read More disagree that all Kwik Trips are helpful. There is a law that all gas stations are to assist you if you have disabled plates or a hanging placard if you press the help or disabled key on the pump. If there is no key (and I think all must have them by a certain date) then you are to honk horn twice and if there are at least 2 employees on duty, they are to assist. The K/T on St. Paul is useless. I've waited there, watching at least 3 employees mill around the counter with 1 or 2 customers and ingnore me. The Grandview station same but I haven't tried them in a few months. The worst station for that is whatever the one on St. Paul and Prarie is. I pulled in to see a female worker standing on side of building smoking. When she went in she was greeted by a male worker and I was ignored by both. I'd like to do a survey on how helpful each gas station is to the disabled. Kudos to Fleetfoot Kwik Trip! Whatever they got they should share with their brethren. I would rather give my $ to K/T because they are WI based and they donate regularly to the Salvation Army
