ALDI - Regional Office Jefferson Division…read more 1597 Dry Pond Rd. Jefferson, GA 30549 Federal ADA Violation and Severe Animal Endangerment I am writing to formally report a severe and dangerous violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and company protocol that occurred at your Hartwell, Georgia location on July 5th at approximately 9:10 AM. My federally protected service dog and I were forcibly removed from the store by an employee named "Sedona" (that's what the Cashier told me her name was), Sedona identified herself as the Assistant Manager. When I explicitly informed Sedona that my service dog is a trained service animal required for my disabilities, she stated that she "didn't care and it doesn't matter; ADA laws does NOT apply in their store and that they won't have dogs coming into their store peeing all over the floor" and demanded we leave, "right now". Worse yet, Sedona told me that I needed to leave my dog in the car and return to the store alone. At 9:10 AM in July, the outside temperature was already 85 degrees. Forcing a handler to leave a service animal in a vehicle under those conditions is not only a violation of federal civil rights law, but it is also an act of severe animal endangerment that could have resulted in heatstroke or death. My Dog has been accompanying me to this specific Hartwell location since it opened last year without a single issue. She is a vital medical necessity who monitors my health and helps mitigate my disabilities while I shop. This is the very first time we have ever been targeted or denied entry. Under Title III of the ADA, public accommodations like grocery stores are strictly required to modify "no pets" policies for service animals. Furthermore, the Department of Justice explicitly protects the right of a handler to carry a service dog in a bag or pouch if it is necessary for the person's disability or for the dog to perform its tasks. Sedona's total disregard for federal law, combined with her reckless demand that I endanger my dog's life, is entirely unacceptable. I expect ALDI to take immediate, documented corrective action regarding Sedona and the Hartwell store management. I've being going to Aldi's store for nearly 10 years and to have this happen was emotionally upsetting. And as another customer advised, we should NOT spend our dollars where people with disabilities aren't allowed to bring in their "service animals." Why in the hell do you think we need them for anyway? NO ONE walks around with a service animal "just because" they are with us "TO HELP PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES!"
