[NAGDU] FYI: Discrimination at TGI Fridays near the convention hotel in Orlando

[Michael Forzano]

Sorry, we did not, as they were ultimately very apologetic and even comped some of our meal. I feel pretty confident that the folks who served us understand at this point, but whether all staff will be educated in time, I don't know.

And yes, the whiskey glazed ribs were quite good.

It is too bad that education still needs to be done at this basic level, but okay then we'll do it this is what we are here for and why we advocate. Hope the meal was worth it in the end. I miss their Jack Daniels stuff.

I did my best to educate and they ultimately agreed to serve us after about 10 minutes of advocating. I of course told them about the convention and that many customers with guide dogs would likely be at the restaurant this week. I would suggest anyone here looking for a place to eat consider going there, ideally as a group with multiple guide dogs, to make sure this restaurant abides by the law.
