[nagdu] Trying to understand: denial of access bad allergies

[Buddy Brannan]

I'm pretty sure you know what I think. I'm fairly sure you really know what everyone on this list thinks, or anyway, most of us. If the allergy is truly that bad, the driver can wait with you while another Uber is called, and you will not be charged any additional cancellation fees. I think my reaction would depend in part on how the person who shows up reacts. In any case, my opinion (and the way I handle calling for an Uber) agrees with yours.

The driver shows up and says that they cannot take my dog because they or someone in their family has a severe allergy to dog dander, to the point that their throat closes up. 
> In my opinion, this person shouldn't be driving anyway because anyone could be carrying pet dander on their clothing. My dog poses just as much a risk as the next person if my dog is well groomed. I believe that everyone should follow the law. Now, I'm told that this view makes me close minded and selfish. I have a similar view on fear of dogs. I'm told that we are all being close minded and spewing rhetoric when we talk about the uber lawsuit, but that is a topic for another post. What do you all think?
