Some guy goes in with his "assistance dog" an employee tells him dogs aren't allowed, he asks for a manager and then is allowed to have the dog in the restaurant... but he films it and complains to the press anyway because he didn't like their attitude etc..

Unfortunately people do need to film these things so change happens.

I have a blind friend who was recently refused a taxi because he was with his guide dog. Unfortunately, he can’t make much of a complaint as he hasn’t got a description of the driver or the car, as he’s blind. He doesn’t record interactions but is considering it now because he was made to feel so small and unimportant.

If this wasn’t filmed, and wasn’t shown by the media, then BK wouldn’t have reminded their colleagues and restaurants of what the policy is and people with assistance animals will suffer. Surely, this can only be a good thing?
 
Reminds me of a clip I saw on YT a few days ago, guy at the gym doing his thing, when a women approached him to complain about him staring at her constantly. When he explained he was "blind" she wasn't having any of it, she called over the gym manager, the guy showed him his registered legally blind card, and the gym manager repeated just don't stare at her. Neither of them could comprehend the idea that he can't stop doing something when he has no idea what he is looking at, because he is BLIND.
 
@Destination this was my thought, oversight, and a quick whip around.

People who left my work during the pandemic, the retirement / leaving do was dreadful. All last minute, e-card, awkward Zoom call, no send off and instantly forgotten. Not that much better at the moment to be honest.

A McDonald’s employee turned 100 years old while on the job with the fast-food joint with a massive celebration, and said she had no plans to retire anytime soon.

Ruth Shuster, an employee at Irwin, Pennsylvania’s Big Mac, celebrated her 100th birthday with her colleagues at her workplace while getting crowned “Queen for a Day” at McDonald’s Big Mac Museum in North Huntingdon.


"It doesn’t feel any different," Ms Shuster told FOX Television Stations speaking about turning 100, as her colleagues dressed her in a red robe and introduced a bobblehead doll that looks like her.

However, she was thankful for the extraordinary birthday celebrations her company arranged for her, as well as for still being a part of the company.

"They’re nice to work for, and I’m lucky they keep me here at my age," she said. "I feel I’m the lucky one.

[...]

Ms Shuster joined the Big Mac Museum in Irwin in 1994 when she was 73 years old and has been serving the customers for 27 years. She soon became extremely popular among the locals as she greeted them with a big smile and joined them in singing and dancing.

I'd quit with that money, invest a chunk so there's a steady stream of small funds coming in, then enjoy the rest with a little break and bolster a retirement. 27 years, man's earned it.
