[nagdu] Taxi Refusal

[Nicole B. Torcolini at Home]

Please explain what you don't understand. Furthermore, at this point, Lexia 
is in the computer, and I do not plan to have them take her out, nor am I 
going to lie when they ask me if I will have my service dog with me. If you 
do not like what they do, then I can give you the name and contact info of 
the company.
