But it's for a multi-unit building with dozens of places, so this adds a lot of cost because now, rather than using off-the-shelf components ("casework" to use the industry term), they have to hire a woordworker to go in and manually modify each one, at probably 80-100/hr. Not great.
Surely someone must have run into this problem before. How could there be no standard component that meets regulations, which have presumably existed for awhile?
The requirements may not be entirely well thought through, but complying with those two is not difficult.
I hope your critique of the bans on plastic bags and happy meal toys is stronger than this.
Unless the countertop near the corner has a depth of 18" or less, it would be very difficult to fulfill all requirements.
