The story does not say anything about the man having made complaint to the franchise owner immediately after the first incident, or if he had complained to McDonald Corporate office as well. I think that should be the proper channels to take before a lawsuit is filed. The manager is obviously rogue and should be replaced, but the franchise owner should have the opportunity to do that before someone tries to kneecap him/her financially.

The manager represents the owner so it is the owner's fault whether he was present or not. The man is not suing simply to keep the restaurant from allowing this to happen again. He is showing because his rights were violated and notifying the owner after the fact will in no way undo the violation of his rights. I'm sure McDonald's is going to pay this off because it this way in front of a jury that they would lose a mcfortune. Scumbag manager. You have to be a real piece of s**t narcissist to get a God complex over being a manager at McDonald's.

I can pretty much guarantee you that the owner of the franchise does not agree with that. If that owner is not constantly in contact with his managers he is not much of a business owner. He may delegate certain authorities to his managers, but I have no doubt the owner knows the limitations of what management is permitted to do according to the law and wants his managers to abide by that. It is not the manager who is going to lose his shirt over this. The manager only makes about 30K a year. The proper avenue is to utilize the company chain of command and use that paper trail to advance your cause should the situation end up in a courtroom.

I can't be sad about Mcdonalds being mcsued, their mcfood mcsucks anyways.

When we first took our service dog to a McDonalds the manager came out to tell us dogs aren't allowed in there, in spite of the fact the dog had clearly labelled harness and was attached to a child.
But we didn't have any problem, we have a card to show that the dog is certified and allowed public access by law.

What I don't understand is even if there was no law, why would people ban service dogs? Is it just to piss on people with disabilities?

the way franchises work the manager will actually get in trouble for letting rules get broken he can lose his job over allowing things like letting people bring their pets in the stores

A service dog is not a pet, it is a personal aide to people with disabilities.

im not saying that its a pet im just saying normally people are not allowed to have animals in the restaurant. someone with no education in service dogs will have no idea how to identify one
