OK, here's a lawsuit waiting to happen. The manager at this McDonald's just violated the American Disabilities Act (http://www.ada.gov/regs2010/service_animal_qa.html) by asking me (A United States Marine Corps veteran) to leave because I had a service dog.
She asked for paperwork to confirm my dog was a service animal. When I explained to her I'm not required under the American Disabilities Act to produce any "paperwork" or documentation she said I would have to leave.
I clearly asked her: "Are you sure you want to do this?" "This will not turn out well for you." Peanut, is a trained service dog under the guidelines for service animals covered by the American Disabilities Act.
I firmly stood my ground, waited for the police to arrive and document the incident. The embarrassment, humiliation, pain and suffering has me so upset.
Did I mention ADA lawsuits are such a slam-dunk that many attorneys will take on an ADA lawsuit for FREE? Especially involving a major restaurant chain like McDonald's! This will be an interesting call to my attorney in the morning.
