Hi Deanna,
I'm so sorry the assistant manager in the thrift store was giving you problems about having your service animal in the store with you. Firstly, if I were you I would file a complaint with the corperation or the headquarters of the company because that assistant manager was in the wrong for telling you that your dog couldn't be in the store. When clearly you are in your right to have your service dog accompany you while in the thrift store. After all your dog isn't a pet but a service dog.
Secondly, the police officer in my opinion didn't do his job and should of come into the store and got involved because you were clearly in your right to have your service dog accompany you while in the store. Yes by all means you should file a complaint against that police officer for not doing his job . File the complaint with a superviser or a sargent or captain that are higher up in the police department. The police should know the laws on service animals and how to protect the handlers and their service dogs.
Education is definetly needed hear and we need to eddddddddddddddddddducate the police if their willing to listen and learn and what we face as guide dog handlers when we are denied access because law enforcement are not aware of the laws that protect handlers and their service animals from being denied access into public places.
Also the management of this thrift store also needs to be educated ,. I hate this sort of thing is still happening . Take care.
Lori and the Gipper
