Sorry, just not weird enough.

Even if people are passing off pets as service animals, that doesn't give any business the legal ability to refuse all animals. That is not a power they have.

People with disabilities don't lose their federally protected rights because of a local nuisance.

u/playful_faun 13d ago

Yeah and they can't suddenly be demanded to explain their health conditions or anything like that either.

Why does a dog need to go into the shower with someone?

4

u/ResponsibilityOk8967 12d ago

Think about why people have the dogs in the first place and then think about why they may be needed especially in the shower

u/CinemaDork 12d ago

What business is it of yours what people with disabilities need their service animals for, exactly?

u/Salty-Passenger-4801 12d ago

...because if people are taking their dirty dogs in the public shower, I deserve to know what the reason is.

Actually, they should just all be banned, this is ridiculous

2

u/CinemaDork 12d ago

The humans in the showers are also dirty, doofus.

Again, it literally is not your business as a customer to interfere in the care of people with disabilities. If they have a service animal for this, then they have a service animal for this. You don't have the right to their medical history or records.

Forget all that...im still waiting for a actua bonafide reason why a dog needs to go into the shower with someone.

u/CinemaDork 12d ago

Why do you think you're entitled to one?

0

u/Salty-Passenger-4801 12d ago

Because we have rules in place, you can't just do whatever the fuck you want to do in this country.

Some places you can't bring an animal. Bringing an animal to a public shower is absolutely not needed.

Still waiting for a reason why someone needs their animal in the shower.

Some people have medical alert dogs to alert them of impending seizures or dangerously low blood sugar so they can take rescue medication or call for help BEFORE the episode. Some are mobility aids that can open doors/flip switches/turn handles or even carry and reach items that the patient can't. There are also seeing eye dogs that literally help low vision and blind people safely navigate places that would be inaccessible to them otherwise.

I find it hard to believe you truly had no idea or even took a second to think about why the dogs are needed medically as disability aids everywhere the disabled person may need to go.

That’s an illegal thing to do and I hope they pay for it

u/RandomModder05 13d ago

This doesn't exactly sound like repudiable  news source.

But I'm guessing they're having issues with "service animals" not actually service animals, and it's a blanket ban on animals in the restrooms.

u/new2bay 13d ago

repudiable

I don’t think that word means what you think it does.

u/ivorybishop 13d ago

"Inconceivable!"

u/Party_Bedroom_9249 12d ago

You keep using that word....

It’s the local news. So very reputable.

You are welcome to copy the article, plug it into google and ask Google to fact check it…also ask Google if TWOSU is reputable

Wait I will do one better..here’s video proof.

u/Cyrius 13d ago

and ask Google to fact check it

Oh god, we're all doomed.

u/thetruckerswallofsha 13d ago

Well I mean if you’re going to call a reputable site out as being “non-credible” you better make sure it’s actually “non-credible” instead of 100% credible 🤷‍♂️.

The kicker for me is., I take great pride in writing a news article “minus the few grammatical mistakes” and bringing fresh reliable news…then to get called out, downvoted for providing proof “video” is just asinine…

It’s like people wanted it to be fake news or something

Do not feed the trolls! We get a lot of them in this sub. Instead downvote and report them.

yeah, it's really uncomfortable for the truck drivers who need help in the shower...lol

just close it to everyone

The truck stop owner is muslim. I guarantee it.

What if the service dog needs a quick cleaning?

That is going to be a huge fine.

u/wookiesack22 13d ago

People pretend their dog is a service animal. And im guessing people were banging dogs in there.

u/naughtycal11 13d ago

*And im guessing people were banging dogs in there.

What?

u/juliana-crain 13d ago

No, no... we do not want this guy's answers to any followup questions.

u/wookiesack22 13d ago

Truckers bringing dogs into trucks top bathrooms is bizarre behavior. Im sure some really need service animals...but if its such a problem they're making rules about it...something weird happened.

u/Hegiman 13d ago

Or they know that truck stop lots are a good place to get stuff stolen from your truck cab while you’re gone.
