^Getting around the law is not that simple, they USED to do that, and it was not a very popular option once the ADA laws were passed, remember the ADA laws were passed so that persons with dissabilities would be able to live and work in a more friendly enviroment that met their needs as well as the needs of others. Just because your in a wheel chair why should you be forced through some back hallway or kitchen to get to a service elevator that, yes I've been on, is not the cleanest thing in the world and empties into a little storage facility then out into a park back lot. Even if you dont care how clean the elvator is or whatever theres still the issue of a fire. If a fire breaks out in the kitchen, where it most likely would, elevator access is cut off, while the stairs are still fully accessible.
