Why Retail Hesitates to Adopt ADA-Compliant POS Mounts

#	Reason	Description	Impact
1️⃣	They Don’t See the Risk	Legal teams assume ADA coverage is already met, unaware that fixed mounts violate ADA §§ 308, 309, 707.	$4,000 per violation under Unruh Act.
2️⃣	Fear of Setting a Precedent	One compliant checkout implies all others are noncompliant.	Creates chain-wide retrofit liability.
3️⃣	Procurement Inertia	National contracts often resist change, slowing adoption of compliant mounts.	Delay in compliance across stores.
4️⃣	Short-Term Cost Thinking	$300 seems unnecessary — until a $4,000 fine lands.	False economy.
5️⃣	Lack of Complaints	Wheelchair users and seniors rarely speak up.	Silence ≠ accessibility.
6️⃣	Waiting for Enforcement	Most retailers only move when DOJ, Visa, or state law updates force it.	Delayed compliance = higher cost later.
