[nagdu] Where Do You Find Issues with Attempted Denial of Entry

[William Burley, III]

Hey Lisa!

Right out of high school for about two months, I worked in the Snack Bar of
Target...you know before they added Starbucks or there even was a Starbucks.
LOL!

A girl I worked with...when someone would make her mad...she would go drop
the raw meat she would cook for them in the dirtiest corner of the stock
room, step on it and then cook it.  That's only what I saw.

So, I think if it gets a little heated, I wouldn't eat there after that.  If
the situation is cool and laid back, I would eat and give a tip.  I'd want
to leave that particular person, if the waiter, with a good memory of my
money...and my pup after they see that she was asleep the whole time and not
a bother.

A month or so ago Bernie and I went into a Greek restaurant. It was slow as 
it was mid morning.A woman went off on me and told me to get out.She didn't 
want to hear my dog is a service dog. She ignored my questions about her 
OSHA manual. I asked her in a relatively calm tone, if she would like me to 
call the police to have them explain to her that my dog is a guide dog. She 
told me she didn't want to argue. I told her I wasn't arguing. Another 
employee approached me. He had no qualms about the presence of my guide dog.

I assumed he was the manager. It turns out the woman is the owner and he is 
a front line employee. Needless to say, I had some yummy Greek food before 
Bernie and I ambled over to the health food store to shop.

By the way, does any one else besides me have the concern about a server 
spitting in your food  prior to serving you as pay back. I got this notion 
in my head based on something I saw on TV about bar tenders and restaurant 
workers doing some really gross things to food prior to serving it.

Lisa and Bernie
