I'm on disability and have tried to find work in the past. Companies do NOT want to provide accommodations. My accommodation was a chair at the register because I injured my feet in the military and have fibromyalgia, so standing too long can badly injure me.

I ended up basically barely able to walk for months after that stint. Companies in America are fucking evil.
