Question

Agnes, a waitress at a restaurant, suffers severe anxiety attacks when business gets really busy at her job. As a result, she is a very ineffective waitress when the restaurant is crowded. For this reason, she is fired. Maybe her employer could have assigned Agnes to shifts when the restaurant is not busy, but this would have irritated the other waitresses, caused significant scheduling difficulties, and appreciably increased expenses. If Agnes sues the restaurant under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the restaurant's best argument would be:

Answer 1

that accommodating Agnes would cause the restaurant undue hardship.

Step-by-step explanation:

Undue hardship states that it is the situation in which a person exempt himself partially or fully in performing a legal obligation so that the burden could be avoided.

According to the given situation, Agnes who is a waitress is not able to work more as she suffers from anxiety attacks. So, from this, the owner fired her and gives her work when the restaurant is not busy enough. On the other hand, other waitresses are not felt convenient as they found difficulties and increased expenses.

Here, Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Agnes suit a file against the restaurant, so, in this case, the restaurant will give facilities to Agnes which causes undue hardship.
