The woman (OP) steps into a fancy restaurant to have a simple solo dinner, but it turns into a story of unexpected events. She spotted a dog at a nearby table taking up a seat, so she decided to bring it to the staff's attention. Little did she know, this would set off a chain of arguments and a run-in with the manager.
Things got heated as the dog's owners defended their choice, claiming rights for service dogs. Amidst the clash, the OP stuck to her belief, citing ADA guidelines. The manager returned, but instead of resolving the issue, he surprisingly asked the OP to leave. Frustrated and feeling unfairly treated, the OP exited the restaurant. Keep reading to unravel the details of this unexpected dining experience.
