[blparent] Guide dog questions

[Star Gazer]

Yes, I got kicked out of a Taco Bell once with my dog. 
Thing is, you're not doing a lot of fine dining with little ones. All you
want, and all they want is to shove food in their faces. Having to argue
with someone who may or may not want to be educated when you and the kids
are hungry just plain sucks. 
As for the white cane law, and carrying a copy, I'm not sure what good that
would do. It'd be like Bill Gates saying "I know a great computer system,
why don't we all use Microsoft". 
The people doing the access denials aren't the most educated people in the
world. I don't know why they'd trust something that a customer braught them
as it isn't an independent validation.  I can't really say I blame them,
independent verification and validation is part of sound engineering, that
should also hold true in non engineering scenarios.

Isn't that the truth?  The place I had the worst trouble with getting denied
service--I say worst because the manager actually grabbed me by the arm and
tried to drag me physically out the door of the restaurant with my dog--was
at Kentucky Fried Chicken, no less.  I was also denied access to a Salvation
Army store.  But I've been welcomed at some of the best restaurants in
Denver without a hitch.

Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may
kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

My oppinion, and I think the oppinion of most Federationists, is that if a
place really doesn't want people and their dogs there, it probably isn't
worth eating there. Over the years, I have been excepted with my dog in some
of the nicest places and not excepted in "dumps."
