Target vs The Blind...GO

I don't think that Target should have to make their site 'accessible' to the blind. Call me an asshole, digg me down, curse to oblivion, or whatever, but my stance is as follows: If you can't access the store, why is it the store's responsibility to make sure that you can access their services/products in the way that YOU want.
Too many freedoms. It's not Target's fault that you have , and thus shouldn't be forced to mold their current business model. If they wanted to increase their business, they definitely could by adding these services for the said disabled. What's next? Every company out there is going to be required to offer a delivery method for every product/service for people that can't/don't drive? Every restaurant will be forced to carry both vegetarian and non plates? Every convenient store has to offer all brands of soda? Unplug yourself and help end the madness.
