    Do you have a source? My understanding was that they were under obligation to not charge for the accommodations, hence the lawsuit.

      Their accommodation is having product without milk at all. Requiring them to provide an alternative ingredient isn’t a reasonable accommodation when they have plenty of existing products without dairy. The customer can order one of those items.

      Having a milk substitute that costs more for the establishment is going beyond what is required under the ADA, so up-charging for it is fine.
