would like to read Sainsbury's response.
Wonder if it will be the usual line of 'the staff member has been sent for re-training' ?

[jackthehat]

I wonder whether the Security Guard was acting on behalf of Sainsbury or himself?
Either way, it is shabby treatment and needs to be addressed pronto.

[Spicerack]

Muslim guard, probably.

The response is in the link:-
//A Sainsbury's spokesman said: "We have apologised to John for his experience and reassured him assistance dogs are welcome in all our stores and petrol stations//

Wondering if there is more than meets the eye here and the complainant may 'have a past history' in these stores. This is the second occasion at the Holborn branch and a third refusal at another.

[dannyk13]

Retro, could he be looking for some compensation?

[douglas9401]

He may be seeking compo, I doubt very much if he's looking for it.

[Spicerack]

Tut, you've got a dark sense of humour, Douglas.

[jackthehat]

Because the blind can't 'look', dannyk....
