of haagen dazs turn away blind lady because of her guide dog!

Psychotherapist Cassandra Chiu shared what she encountered when she brought Esme, her guide dog, into Haagen Dazs Holland Village.

Mama: Yes, as I was telling both your staff, I am blind and this is my guide dog. Please take a look at this legislation from NEA excluding guide dogs from the no pets policy to the Public Environmental Health Act. This is also a card with MSF's support allowing guide dogs into all public places.
Male Manager : No pets, mdm.
Mama: Are you saying you would not allow my guide dog and I to sit inside Haagen Dazs?
Male Manager: No mdm, not you, just the dog.
Mama: What about the white canes of my friends, do they need to be parked outside as well?
Male Manager: Mdm, my company policy is no pets. Please understand.
Mama: As I have said before, this is not a pet! it is a working dog for a blind person.
Male Manager: Mdm, my company policy is no pets. Please understand.
Mama: All right. In that case, I am happy to take my business elsewhere.
**Mama standing outside the store facebooking about the rejection.
Male Manager **stepping outside the store: Mdm, I never say cannot, you never gave me a chance to read the paper.
Mama: I showed it both to you and the lady manager, and I have been holding it in my hands all the 10 minutes in the store. Why are you only concern now that I am facebooking?
Male Manager: But it's Sunday and my head office is closed!
Mama: It's all right, because on Sundays blind people also don't need to eat ice-cream. We'll go elsewhere.

*Disclaimer:
These are some musings of a very clever 4 legged being, and by no means am I questioning the good intentions of any entities or the happenings mentioned in this journal entry.
