dressing room

We went shopping last weekend, and I decided to try on some jeans, we were at a huge outlet mall, and we stopped in at the Levi's/ Dockers store. It was very busy and we got into line to use a dressing room, as we got a little closer in line, my mom looked in the dressing area and did not see an accessible dressing room. She asked the attendant where the accessible changing room was, and he led us over to the other side, he opened the door and it was full of furniture, racks, and general junk. The kid said he was sorry, but it was full, and can't the wheelchair fit into a regular room. I said no that the doorway was to small, and I wouldn't be able to close the door anyway even if it could fit in and the kid left it at that. My mom went to the front and asked for the manager, and said we needed the accessible dressing room. When he opened the door and saw it, he immediately started cleaning it out, with the help of other employees. I hope the manager clued in the other employees that it violates the American with Disability Act not to have a dressing room that can fit a wheelchair.
