I can't imagine pretending to have a disability just to bring along a pet. That's such shameful and egotistical behaviour.

Your experience is why it infuriates me when people lie about their dogs being a service dog for the mere feeling of entitlement

🦮 the fact that you fully considered the ramifications of calling out the restaurant shows how kind hearted you are, Paul.

I have a disability and I have a dog… my mom suggested that I train her as a service dog. I told her I would train some tasks, but I will never call her a service dog. She is a husky mix with a high prey drive. She can’t be a service dog. She doesn’t have the temperament. She is a good girl, and I love her, and she helps my mental health a lot, but she is my pet.

I have an invisible disability and use a service dog. I take him to work with me in a place that does not allow pets. I was helping a man when he asked me if it was bring your dog to work day. I replied he is a service animal and the man’s response was “a service animal for someone else?” I didn’t even know how to respond. I gave a little laugh and said no, he’s mine. It’s amazing what some people will actually say.

The issue is very real. There are many sites that sell bogus service dog vests and gear, and many people take advantage of the service dog laws. I was on line in Target waiting to pay when a blind customer on the line next to me had her service dog attacked by a huge, unruly Shepard. The blind lady couldn't stop the attack. The Shepard owner could not get control of her dog. It was terrible. Thank goodness two men intervened and stopped the attack. The service dog was very bloody. Both the lady and her dog were taken away by EMS. People need to stop bringing their untrained dogs into high stress situations.

Some people think there is only two levels of blindness, not blind, and total darkness.

As you said, it's so frustrating the number of people who make themselves the "exception" to the rule. By lying about their pet. Which, in turn, negatively impacts so many people who have true service animals.

The manager of the restaurant loves you so much right now… the world needs more people like y’all. You have every right to go after the restaurant for $11K and to shut them down, but you are choosing to forgive, and using it as an educational opportunity. I have a ton of respect for you!! Best wishes and give Mr. Maple some extra love from all of us fans out here!!

There is training needed in the world in general. I was pushing my friend in her wheelchair and she needed to speak to someone at the customer service desk. The person never looked at her, but would answer her questions to me. And then ask me questions, of which she was the one who needed to answer. I told the person, 'Please address your questions and answers to the person asking them." She was very put out I would make that comment. It really pointed out how people with disabilities are virtually invisible in most situations.

My mom was deaf and often needed assistance. I remember how people were so rude to her and treated her as if this woman with multiple masters degrees was stupid. I was very young and could still understand the unfairness.

I had the privilege of reading textbooks in college for a blind student. I enjoyed it very much, but I occasionally took them shopping. I remember the first time, I pulled into the handicap parking place, then I remembered that I wasn’t handicapped, so I started to back out. Arnie asked what was wrong, and I told him, he laughed and reminded me that he was! He and his wife were both blind, and had the sweetest 2 little girls. They both learned that their mom couldn’t detect pattern and color well. So they would mix up all their socks and giggled hysterically every time. I truly enjoyed the family! Loooong time ago!

We had a service dog dropout who refused to pick things up and got distracted. He was perfect for my older brother at home because the dog was trained to alert him when someone was at the house and did everything my brother actually needed. But due to his distractabily we did not take the dog out with my brother.
Meanwhile i was shopping for shoes and a womans service dog for her panic attacks was busy playing on the opposite side of the store than where she was. I pointed out to the employee on staff that she could kick the woman out because the dog didnt behave and was barking at people. But the employee let me know that they did that once before and the customer cried to the owner so she was allowed to do whatever, even when her dog harassed a properly trained service dog and forced the disabled handler to leave.
At that point we can say this behavior is indeed malicious.

In my teens I had to go basically everywhere with a seizure alert dog. Nobody ever believed it because I didn't "look disabled". But here's the thing! Even if I was in a chair when I seized it resulted in concussions, broken bones, it even bruised my kidney once. The safest thing for me when it's about to happen is for me to lie down on the ground, but I couldn't ever tell when it was about to happen hence the dog.

I still can't go some places because they opted to permanently trespass me from the building.

Anytime an employee gets that sort of situation on them in terms of getting snipped at by a possibly dangerous animal should not be working the day after, they should have given him time off to recover emotionally from it.

I went through something similar. I worked for Walmart and we had an older gentleman with severe PTSD who had a small beagle mix service animal. The dogs name was Charlie and he was, like Mr. Maple, very well trained. His job was to stop our customer before he had any kind of panic attack. I only knew this because he had asked me once where to find something and while I was showing him I said your dog is very cute and we had a conversation about the dog. I knew not to touch or pet working dogs while they are working.
So one day our customer comes to the door and I hear yelling and screaming, I run over and one of our door greeters is actually pushing this man saying no you cannot bring that animal in here he is dangerous. I had to step in and excuse her, wait for him to calm down and apologize…then proceed to explain to the worker that Charlie is welcome in the store anytime and she should never touch anyone unless she wants to go to jail ( I even asked if he wanted to press charges I was so angry with her attitude I had her sent home for the day) but he said no. I helped him shop and he left feeling better…I then had to coach several of the workers on service animals, their duties and what they were and were not allowed to ask. After that we never had issues but I made sure to stay on top of that. This man was a Vietnam Veteran. No one deserves to be treated differently just because they have a service animal. They should be treated with respect just like everyone else.

When you did the first video without naming the restaurant I thought it was so emotionally mature of you Paul. Huge thanks to Matthew for persuading you to edit that out. You absolutely did the right thing for all those employees.

I used to work at a restaurant that became known for service dog training. They would always call ahead to book a semi private part of the place and bring in a pack of dogs in training. The owner absolutely hated it but the rest of us absolutely loved it and the trainers were amazingly generous to educate and answer our questions on service dog etiquette as well as other guests. Training we would not have received otherwise.

Your empathy and consideration for the staff as a whole is inspiring.
