Children in restaurants

[ignoramus]

To change the subject slightly. It was on the news not that long ago about a blind woman in a restaurant with her seeing eye dog. She was basically forced to leave. They cited health laws.
The shop owner was not fined.  It is a fine line indeed.

How did they get away with that?! It's federally illegal to turn someone away with a service animal. Admittedly the owner can ask that an "unruly" *rolls eyes* animal be tied outside. But they would have assist if that happens.

I think you're supposed to make an exception for seeing-eye animals. I'm surprised they weren't fined.

It's unlawful here, yes. I believe ignoramus doesn't hail from here though.

I'll try to find the news article when I get home.
Maybe Beccs might remember more details.
From memory, it was the patrons that demanded she leave and the owner didn't want to upset the mob!

Yes, we can be self righteous heathens here down under!

Humans should not be allowed into restaurants until they're mature enough to sit the fuck down, shut the fuck up, and eat their fucking food. For me, that was how I always ate (at least that's what they tell me). For some people, it's a skill they never learn.

That's crazy, I was on a security guard induction 2 days ago where they were talking about laws and I remember them saying a shop can get into trouble for not allowing guide dogs into its building, I don't know about restaurants though.

Didn't pick an option because "Depends on the kid" wasn't there.

It's been said before but I don't mind repeating it;

If there's a playground or a drive-through then you've been warned, but if it's a sit down restaurant then I think it's a given that you shouldn't bring your children unless they can behave.
