    a notice from the u s

    Today I experienced a complete denial of service from this establishment because I am a service dog handler. The proprietor stopped me as soon as I entered the facility and insisted we leave because dogs are not welcome. My service animal is clearly vested, is task trained to mitigate an invisible disability, and meets all ADA requirements for public assess. I attempted to address with the proprietor that, under ADA law, service dogs are exempt from no pet policies, but continued to be denied service. I took my business elsewhere and have filed reports with both the Department of Justice and the City of Escondido in hopes that these discriminatory practices will not affect other service dog teams, and will continue to take my service elsewhere. For other teams who are looking for a safe and welcoming place to shop, the 7-11 a block away on E Valley Parkway was much more accommodating.

    Stopped in here and was very surprised at the large beer selection available. I found several…read moreBottle Logic beers from different years I had not seen before. They had Belching Beaver specialty beers from several years ago. Downside, many people including staff not wearing mask. When I asked for a beer on one of the upper shelfs I could not reach, I was given a stool and got it myself. No big deal but 99% of any business would not allow it for insurance purposes. I would definitely stop in again to see what beers they have. You can tell some of them have not moved in awhile because of the dust. I would try to stop in when it is not busy and not to linger to long.

    I would like to share my most recent experience of when I was yelled at and chased out of Lena's…read moreLiquor because the girl working at the counter stated she doesn't care for me because I "sound like a valley girl". I honestly cannot help I was raised in Southern California. I never mean to come off pompous, but I guess I rubbed her the wrong way one day and she had been mean to me ever since. I always greet her and she always ignores me but will speak to other customers. I usually bring my own bags, but this time I didn't and asked her for a bag, she put the bag out and told me to bag it myself. I was appalled. I am always a very nice person, ask any of the other 8 employees that work there, in addition to the owner. This behavior is simply not sustainable for good business.
