On two occasions within this year I have come to this McDonald's with my verified service animal dog. On March 30th, I came with my service animal into the McDonald's after placing an order online. I was immediately cursed out and threatened by the security officer who blatantly called me numerous homosexual and racist expletives. I was able to receive my order that I paid for in advance, however when I left the side exit. The security officer followed me outside and spat on the side of my face.
I contacted the store and finally reached the general manager. Who offered me a $5 compensation for the trouble. I didn't ask for his supervisor. 3 weeks later, I called him again after not hearing from the supervisor. He let me know that the supervisor was busy and he didn't really want to talk to me. One week later, I was finally contacted by ivan, the supervisor. He adamantly apologized and immediately offered me three free meals for my next three visits. I came once after that with my service animal, the same security officer was there but he ignored any communication with me thankfully. I return on Easter Sunday of this past month. I contacted Ivan 30 minutes in advance on his personal cell number to let her know that I was coming and what I wanted to order. He gave me affirmation that it was okay to come with my pets / service animal and that I should speak to the general manager on duty, Claudia. Upon entering the restaurant, two security officers were sitting down at a table with a customer who was eating. I walked in past them by, the shorter morbidly obese African-American security officer Amelia yelled out you going to have to get the hell out of here with that dog. He then got up from his seat, approached me. I showed him my service animal identification card. He immediately responded saying he didn't give a damn and I needed to get the fuck out of there. I mentioned Ivan's name and that I'm here to speak with the general manager. He then spat in my face while speaking directly in my face. He then began to raise his voice after I refuse to leave and purposely sped in my face a second time. On the second occasion, I put my index figure up in front of my face and asked him to leave me alone. From there, he walked towards me pressing into my finger. And immediately put me in a chokehold and with his right arm grab my waist and threw me to the ground. I passed out for 2 to 3 minutes. As I awoke to him attempting to pull me from the ground by my hair. I then heard him tell the other security officer to go to the other side of the table and grab me out by my legs and arms on both sides. Please be advised, I just woken up from passing out after hitting my head on the floor. While coherence, he stood above me and decided to take two photographs of me with his personal phone. I asked why was he doing that while we were already on camera. He responded saying, oh this is just for my personal use so that I can find you. From there I remained on the floor maybe five or six minutes for my own safety. I got up from the floor, sat in the closest booth. He began to verbally assault me and chastise me while customers watched and entertainment. I had already called the police and the supervisor Ivan as soon as I came to while on the floor. The police arrived, they took statements and did an alleged investigation. According to them from looking at the camera footage, and from witness statements. I came in yelling cursing and screaming and I then physically assaulted the security officer and he had to defend himself. This is all according to the police investigation and the alleged witness testimonies. That was only one person who was there throughout the whole thing that remained until the police came. The customer who was eating at the table with the two security officers. Please be advised, this is not a safe or secure McDonald's location to go to, ever. Yes, I am in the process of having my police report completed and looking into finding representation. read more
