if you cannot fulfill the duties you are hired for and the company then reallocats you to different position, that is fine.
ADA requires companies to make reasonable accommodation for disabilities both in employment and in serving customers.
Try being a retailer that isn't accessible and saying you're just going to fire the customers that need ramps or accessible restrooms. It leads to things like construction of ramps everywhere and addition of elevators where there were none.
If the employee meets all the other job requirements, then it's a matter of whether that's a reasonable accommodation or not. If the employee had a long and documented history of exemplary reviews, the company might be on shaky ground.
