Re: [epilepsy] Re: Service Dog Owner Punched in the Face by McDonald's Manager.

 

That manager could have(and very well should have) been arrested on charges of assault!  The Americans with Disabilities Act exists for a reason.  Access to the disabled is not something that you can decide on your own to disallow. That is straight-on discrimination!  That manager should be facing criminal charges!

Sincerely,

Bob.

Corporate America also has a responsibility to educate their managers and
staff about the rights of people with disabilities and about service animals
in particular.  All the education from people with disabilities and/or their
families 1:1 isn't very helpful in the long run when you are dealing with
managers, like those in the story and without appararnet education from
their corporate office.
