Woman Is Kicked Out Of Restaurant Because Of Her Dog’s Clothes, Then She Gets The Last Laugh
Hearing Him Correctly
Alice turned back to the man and asked him to repeat himself. She wanted to make sure she had heard him correctly.
If she had, then she was about to unleash a lot of fury in the restaurant.
“Let me go get my manager,” The waiter sheepishly said before turning to run away. The dog’s mom waited for a moment. She contemplated what she was going to do next.
The Manager
After five minutes, Alice saw a man head her way. He walked with importance, unlike most of the other people around.
She knew immediately who he was – he was the manager.
He was wearing a suit, a strange uniform for a restaurant, but she didn’t question it. She knew he would make things right. But he was only going to cement the decision that the waiter had made.
Asked To Leave
The manager stopped in front of her and stared at her before saying, “Sorry, ma’am, but I heard that there’s a bit of a problem here.
You can’t have your dog here, especially with what he’s wearing. But come back without him, and we’ll be happy to accommodate you.”
Alice’s blood boiled at the man’s words. She couldn’t believe that everyone was against her. All because of what her dog was wearing. She stormed out of the restaurant.
Unbelievable
Alice didn’t want to believe what had just happened. She looked down at her dog as they made their way back to her car.
She wagged her tail, unaware of the disappointment that his owner had just met with.
They got into Alice’s car as she pondered what her next move would be. She knew that she needed to make sure that the restaurant paid for what they did.
A Big Mistake
Alice looked over at her loyal companion. She couldn’t believe she was the problem, according to the restaurant manager. She stared at her beautiful dog and scratched under her chin.
“You’re a good boy, and don’t tell anyone different!” She said as she smiled sweetly at her.
She was about to show the restaurant the mistake they had made. She just had to make sure they could see the dog for what she really was.
Alice Ross
Alice Ross lived a normal, solitary life ever since she moved away from her parents and into her own place.
She felt alone for months, living in her new place without anyone else.
Anxiety started creeping over every fiber of her being. She couldn’t do it anymore. After a few months of being alone, she finally made the decision to change her life forever.
Adoption
Alice made the best decision of her life. She decided to adopt an animal that would have otherwise had a terrible fate.
The dog was grateful for a second chance at life, and she had no idea how much she saved Alice, too.
She took the pup home and never looked back. From that day forward, she considered herself a dog mom.
Years Later
Years passed since Alice adopted Chloe, and the two were inseparable. Everywhere that Alice went, she made sure that her loyal companion went too.
No one ever complained about it, and why should they?
Most people understood what it was like to need a companion with you and a dog made for the perfect company. But not everyone would agree.
Becoming Obsessed
Some people would say that Alice was a little obsessed when it came to her dog. Even her friends never saw her without him at her hip.
But she always made sure she was on a leash. She had a very important reason for that.
But it was only recently that she had started a new habit – clothing her dog. She started dressing her up in silly outfits, not knowing the repercussions of her decision.
Having A Ball
Alice was having a ball with her dog. The various costumes she dressed Chloe the dog in only elevated her spirits.
Chloe loved the attention she got from wearing them, so it was a win-win.
She dressed her up for Halloween, Valentine’s Day, and any holiday in between. She would make sure that her dog always had an outfit to fit the occasion.
Means To Celebrate
After dedicating five years to her company, she finally got the promotion she deserved. This meant that Alice had good reasons to celebrate.
She wasn’t a big drinker or socialite, but she had her own way of having a good time.
She looked at a list of restaurants in her area. She wanted to pick one that she hadn’t gone to before, but that would be a big mistake.
Finding The Right Place
Alice looked around for a special place to celebrate her promotion. Finally, after searching, she found the ideal place for her to celebrate.
It was a quaint little restaurant not too far from where she lived.
She was happy to spend her money there. She expected an excellent experience, but she had no idea what was coming her way.
Company
A normal person would have invited some of their friends to celebrate with them, but Alice wasn’t that kind of person.
She was going to celebrate on her own terms in her own way.
She only needed one companion with her to make her celebration a good one. She looked at her pooch and smiled. She just needed to find the perfect outfit for Chloe.
The Perfect Outfit
Alice loved making all of the outfits for her dog herself. It gave her a creative outlet and hobby that she normally wouldn’t have.
But she had no idea what kind of stir the outfit was going to have.
After finishing it, she was ready to go to the restaurant. She expected to be treated well in exchange for her patronage, but things wouldn’t go according to plan.
Getting There
Alice strapped her pooch in the car with her outfit and leash and prepared for a good meal.
The reviews at the place were stunning. Most people gave the restaurant 4 or 5 stars.
She thought that this would be the place she could revisit if she enjoyed the experience. Only they were about to humiliate her in front of everyone in the restaurant and for no good reason.
Arriving
After a ten-minute drive, Alice pulled into the restaurant parking lot. She got Chloe out of the car and followed her into the restaurant.
Chloe always went in front of her for protection.
She expected to see someone ready to greet her and offer her a table. But she was in for a rude awakening when she was only met with coldness and insensitivity.
The Waiter
As Alice walked through the door with her dog. A waiter smiled at her, but his face immediately dropped when he saw who she had brought with her.
He didn’t seem happy after that.
Alice didn’t know what to do. She looked at him, waiting for his next move. She knew that he was either going to be understanding or unkind.
Unkind
The waiter finally spoke, “Sorry, ma’am, but that dog can’t come in here.” Chloe was taken aback. Did he make the rules? “I don’t think you understand, sir.
I need to bring her in.” Chloe retorted.
But the man wasn’t going to have any of it. She could tell he stood his ground, but so would she. How would things end for them?
Asking For Her To Leave
He then said, “Ma’am, please. I can’t do anything else for you if your dog is here. We have a strict policy around it.”
But Alice had no idea what he was going to say next. She was going to need him to repeat it.
He opened his mouth and continued, “If you don’t want to comply, then I’m going to have to ask you to leave.”
Getting The Manager
Alice turned back to the man and asked him to repeat himself. She wanted to make sure she had heard him correctly.
If she had, then she was about to unleash a lot of fury in the restaurant.
“Let me go get my manager,” The waiter sheepishly said before turning to run away. The dog’s mom waited for a moment. She contemplated what she was going to do next.
Wearing A Suit
After five minutes, Alice saw a man head her way. He walked with importance, unlike most of the other people around.
She knew immediately who he was – he was the manager.
He was wearing a suit, a strange uniform for a restaurant, but she didn’t question it. She knew he would make things right. But he was only going to cement the decision that the waiter had made.
Problems
The manager stopped in front of her and stared at her before saying, “Sorry ma’am, but I heard that there’s a bit of a problem here.
You can’t have your dog here, especially with what he’s wearing. But come back without him, and we’ll be happy to accommodate you.”
Alice’s blood boiled at the man’s words. She couldn’t believe that everyone was against her. All because of what her dog was wearing. She stormed out of the restaurant.
Couldn’t Believe It
Alice didn’t want to believe what had just happened. She looked down at her dog as they made their way back to her car.
She wagged her tail, unaware of the disappointment that his owner had just met with.
They got into Alice’s car as she pondered what her next move would be. She knew that she needed to make sure that the restaurant paid for what they did.
Social Media
Alice knew exactly how to make the restaurant pay for what they did. She decided to go to the place restaurants feared – social media.
She was going to make a post that everyone would remember.
The post was titled, “They wouldn’t even let me in with my dog and all because of what he was wearing. I’ve removed some of it so you can see what he really is.”
Her Real Identity
The post also revealed something about Chloe that the restaurant staff didn’t even try to figure out themselves.
It never occurred to them that the dog might have been serving a higher purpose than just being a pet.
This was when Alice told the world for the first time about the issues that she faced. She had social and anxiety disorders. Only one thing helped.
Service Dog
Chloe was more than just a pet. She was an official service dog for Alice.
She took her to do the training after adopting her, and ever since, her life has turned around for the better.
Chloe knew how to calm down Alice when she needed it most. The dog mom could face each day with her pooch. But the restaurant didn’t seem to understand that.
Opinions
The post caught a lot of attention, with comments on both sides of the argument. Many people say that Chloe shouldn’t be an exception, even if she is a service animal. But others seemed to sympathize with Alice.
“If the dog is a service animal, they should be allowed to go wherever they need to, no exceptions!” One commenter wrote.
But with all the traction, what did the restaurant do?
A Comment
The restaurant saw the controversial post and decided to step up and comment on the situation. “We are releasing an official apology to Ms. Ross.
Our staff is undertrained when dealing with delicate circumstances like this, and this lapse in judgment will be the last time it’ll happen.”
The restaurant representatives seemed genuine in their apology, but would they do anything else as a way of compensation for Alice?
Inviting Her Back
The restaurant also contacted Alice directly. It was the manager from days before. He apologized again and said that they were happy for her to come back.
Alice didn’t know what to do. On one hand, they had disrespected and humiliated her. But she did believe in second chances.
She decided to do the right thing and give them another shot.
New Bonds
Alice went back to the restaurant, not knowing what to expect. The same waiter greeted her, but this time, he seemed genuinely happy to see her. He invited her into the restaurant.
But she couldn’t believe what she saw. There was a table with a beautiful view set up just for her. They offered her a complimentary meal for her troubles and hoped that new bonds would be made.
