Their argument is the same as what we used to see:  "This site is
intended only for Internet Explorer."

I suggest you do a Web search on the company to find the name of the CEO
and the postal address of the corporate headquarters.  Send the CEO a
postal letter -- NOT and E-mail -- pointing out that Web sites that are
not compatible with a variety of browsers might violate the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA).  Mention that, in 2008, Target Stores
settled a class-action lawsuit -- rather than go to trial -- filed by
visually handicapped individuals who could not use Target's Web site to
make purchases because the site was incompatible with audio browsers.
The National Federation of the Blind was awarded $6,000,000 to be
distributed to affected persons.  Furthermore, Target had to agree to
have their Web site monitored by the National Federation of the Blind to
ensure it remained accessible to the visually handicapped.

If PeaPod and Stop and Shop have Web sites that can be accessed only via
Chrome, they too are in violation of the ADA.

Donald Trump says he will create many jobs if he
is elected President.  To find out about Trump's
ability to create jobs, ask those who are now
unemployed because Trump's Atlantic city hotel
and casino went bankrupt.
