Talk about poor customer service. I would not want to be treated this way and this is how Tesco treated a blind woman with a guide dog. Which is legally allowed in any business establishment. The company apologized but you have to wonder what kind of training it gives their staff. When you tell a customer not to come back, you'll be bankrupt in no time.

Companies that don't grasp the importance of customer service won't get paying customers in their doors and they will lose those they have. Was the staff at the store Muslim? It would explain a lot of things.

All the same it was rude, belittling, insulting and very unprofessional behavior shown to a blind person. As someone with a disability, I would never put up with that kind of treatment from any one.

I’m going to guess that the shop was run by *ahem* “Asians” — as the Brits would say.

“get dog out” probably muzzies.

[wetphoenix]

Everywhere I was service dogs aren’t counted as ‘pets’ and aren’t a subject to restrictions.
Might be a bunch of dumb employees.

Ebola and Isis and this is worth posting? Sorry but who cares?

This took place in London, so I suspect the clerks didn't consider the dog to be halal.

Probably muzzies who barely speak (or read) english.

Probably moslem filth.

Islam must be destroyed.

“Was the staff at the store Muslim? It would explain a lot of things.”

That was my guess as well, there was another story just a few weeks ago about Muslim staff at some British business telling school kids “no jews allowed” in their store, before the management found out and fired them.

Muslims don’t like dogs.

Not knowing that much about England, may I guess....Moslems?

This IS England. Any verification of that?

What?! Are they freaking blind... \snicker

One of my dogs is a certified therapy dog and we visit a convalescent home pretty often. Last time we were there 2 black women who work there, I hesitate to call them nurses, started yelling “we hate dogs, get them out of here”. One of them announced that they were from Africa, muzzies too probably.
They said “dogs are bad”. Our dogs aren’t bad you ignorant b*tch!
We are invited to go to this place and are very well received by most of the patients and staff. I hope I don’t see these 2 again.

This is a local store for me, where I do drop in for top-up purchases. The story sounds very plausible. I find the staff at this store to be surly and offer minimum civility to any of their customers. Is this Tesco corporate policy, I wonder?

[SZonian]

“horrified”??? What a bunch of pansy a$$es society is creating...

Screw that! I’d get really PO’ed and let ‘em have it.

I’d embarrass them as best I could, turn the tables on vermin like that.

Make them grovel and belly crawl as they sputter apologies for being such jerks...

Any establishment that treats me and mine poorly and the manager is spoken to immediately...if adequate measures aren’t taken on the spot...it’s on like Donkey Kong!

She said three soon to be unemployed cashiers shouted "no pets allowed" and to leave the shop.

Fixed...
