[nagdu] [Lady with Guide Dog kicked out of Ann Taylor]

[Marsha Drenth]

I have seen this all over twitter several times now. It's a very very sad
story. If anyone is interested, here is her blog:

the news story and the information that the store has is different. The
store claims that the dog did not have a harness. I didn't think it was the
harness that made the guide dog a guide dog, but its training and for the
tasks it does? Maybe I am wrong. And secondly, did the store employees not
know what a harness looked like, to say that it was indeed a harness?
Cricket is from GDB, so she would have been wearing a GDB harness. This
outrages me. Its great Ann Taylor has issued an apology, but what about
issueing national wide policies for this not to happen again? 

I know this was in STL, but Ann Taylor's are all over the country. Anyone
while at convention want to visit a ann Taylor in a group? I won't have Emma
with me, or I would go too. What would they do with 5 or 6 or more guide dog
teams? LOL

I don't know anything about this, but, hopefully, here's the video link. 
This happened in Salt Lake City.
