Bridal Store kicks woman with MS out!

Holy crap. A summary is on The Consumerist. The full story with video is on the local media here.

Ooo, you nasty! With your service animal! Get out of here! That’s the new informal slogan of Isis Bridal & Formal in Dallas after news broke that they kicked out a 62-year-old grandmother with multiple sclerosis, because they were worried her service dog would get service dog cooties all over the dresses.

The company has since indirectly apologized to the woman via a letter to the news station that broke the story (after first refusing to comment on the allegation at all), In the letter, the store’s owner assures the public that they welcome service animals “when they are leashed and well controlled so that our pretty wedding dresses and accessories are kept in good condition for customers.” There’s no mention of whether the woman’s dog was leashed or not, although the idea of a rambunctious service dog who doesn’t mind is just funny.

What the hell? No one even BUYS the sample dresses. When you order a dress, it takes months to even get it in. I ordered mine on February 14th and it won’t be here for another 3 weeks! Second, it would be a very odd day if I didn’t see a dog at Nordstroms’ or well, most stores in Seattle. It’s a dog, not a 2 year old. Dogs can be calm. Anyway, Isis Bridal sucks.
