‘You’re Not Blind’: Starbucks Employee Confronts Amputee Vet Over Service Dog

Starbucks is under fire after an employee confronted an amputee veteran for bringing his service dog to the store.

Yancy Baer’s left leg was amputated in 2009 due to bone cancer. He got his service dog 14 weeks ago through Canine Companions for Independence.

Baer was in Houston, Texas, to speak about his experience with Canine Companions for Independence when he stopped into a Starbucks.

According to Baer, a Starbucks employee met him at the door and told him he couldn’t bring his dog into the store.

What in the hell has happened to my America? Everyone, even this GD store clerk, is so power hungry and militant in their attempt to force their views upon anyone allowing it. My answer is, get militant right back at 'em.
