Jenny Hollingworth,
owner of guide dog Nisha is calling for all restaurants and pubs to
stop breaking the law.
Speaking whilst
enjoying a meal at her local McDonalds on Sunday Jenny spoke of
a totally different experience that took place in a KFC in Coventry
recently.
"After
going in and getting ready to order, I was approached
by a staff member and asked to leave because I had my guide dog
Nisha with me".
"Basically
the staff member would not take any notice of anything I said and
after a lengthy discussion I was forced to leave".
"I was
so upset I actually burst into tears. It was
so humiliating".
This is precisely
the problem the "Access for All"
campaign run by is trying to highlight during Guide Dog
Week. It is illegal to not serve a person because of their guide
or helping dog.

Andrew Horton,
restaurant manager of the McDonalds where Jenny was receiving a
first class
service, said "whilst we do not allow dogs we always allow
guide dog because not only would it be against the law, blind people
need to eat too".
Jenny has since
received an apology from KFC but has decided that she much prefers
McDonalds at present.
