Experience this morning:

I went to ask where the bathroom in this restaurant was

It is upstairs (?)

Their elevator is not working

Ok, I won't go right now thank you

After my food is served they come over and say:

Ok, we've found someone who can carry you up to the bathroom (???)

I say no thank you that is not safe for me (or anyone?????)

They apologize a bunch and comp my meal

Later I was talking to my partner about it and realized that I was imagining they would carry me without my wheelchair (feasible but dangerous and very uncomfortable and awkward to boot) and my partner said, "oh, I thought they meant carrying you IN your wheelchair" (folding wheelchair, SO much more dangerous and not very feasible without a very large stairwell), which blew my mind. We will never know but apparently to an abled perspective it is not immediately obvious that lifting someone in their wheelchair is very dangerous and shouldn't be attempted.
