The manager interrogated me with a condescending time about my Service Dog and asked questions in violation of ADA Section 504 titles II and III. He asked what my disability was, and refused to let me and my family finish eating our meals until I presented him with DOCUMENTATION to prove that my Seizure Response Dog was trained and certified. The manager is the one who needs to be trained because his questions were intrusive, embarrassing, and were not compliant with the regulations set forth by the ADA and the federal government. My dog was under my complete control, did not leave my side, did not go near it sniff anyone or their children, did not beg at the table, nor did he get in any other customers way at any point in time. The Hispanic parents were not watching their little girls who were running wild throughout the restaurant and repeatedly approached my Service Dog attempting to pet and play with him. He is patient, kind, gentle and tolerant of little children and I would not have been opposed, had the children been accompanied by at least one of their parents who were too busy complaining to the manager about the 'scary' dog, then keeping their little ones away from my Dog. The manager profiled myself, my wife and my dog and was surprised when I produced the documentation he illegally requested from me.
My Service Dog King was on his best behavior and out of ALL the parties involved, KING HANDLED THE SITUATION BETTER THAN ANY OF THE HUMANS in this Chick-fil-A restaurant. That was our first time to dinner at Chick-fil-A and my experience was embarrassing, we were profiled and judged by both the customers and STORE MANAGEMENT, our meal interrupted by the unattended little girls and our appetites ruined by the same person whose job it is to ensure that we had a great dining experience and that we would hopefully return to give the company he so poorly represented, more of our money after we were profiled, interrogated, prejudged, humiliated and mistreated during our first and last regretful dining experience at Chick-fil-A. The store manager exhibited poor judgement on multiple levels and so did whoever the powers that be, that are responsible for his lack of training and manners. Shame on you Chick-fil-A for showing your leaders on the front line, in the face of the customer, to profile, embarrass, harass and prejudge a disabled man trying to enjoy a nice meal with his family. Is this how Chick-fil-A treats their handicapped and disabled customers? Does Chick-fil-A have a company policy regarding Service Dogs? The personal and intrusive questions your manager asked me broke multiple HIPPA privacy laws, violated Federally established regulations set forth by the ADA, specifically to prevent this exact type of discrimination from happening to the handicapped and disabled citizens wise rights are supposed to be protected by the Constitution of the United States.
I was discriminated against, my rights were violated and I was publicly humiliated. You're manager should be held accountable for the way he treated me, either by somebody in your company, my lawyer, or God himself.
