Its not just "dwarfs".

I went to a subway a while back, the girl behind the counter was about 5' tall on the button.

I couldnt see her face for count of the "sneeze guard" so i had no idea what she looked like until we got to the checkout portion of the counter. it was like talking to the top of this little subway hat.

If you ask me, - the smart thing to do for these shops that require workers to operate behind such a counter would be to install a little spring loaded fold down step behind the counter that elevates the worker about 10-12 inches off the floor.

the step would be designed to automatically fold back up when weight is removed from it.

we have to install ramps, and rails for various handicaps, braille for the blind, create special parking places for handicapped individuals... is it unreasonable to expect to accommodate individuals who might be on the short side?

i certainly dont think so
