[ABANDONED] All Seeing Eye

Postby Verdant Haven » Wed Mar 11, 2020 9:49 am

EDIT: I didn't find the issue, but Trotterdam did! This already exists almost precisely elsewhere. Issue abandoned.


---
I was hunting around, and couldn't find any sign of an issue related to service animals in businesses.

With regard to the title, I am curious whether or not "Seeing Eye Dog" is a recognizable term globally, or if it's only here in the US (Seeing Eye is a trademark/brand name, but is used very broadly here, much like "Kleenex" or "Xerox" have become genericized in common use). If that's not recognizable in Europe and Australia, I'll hunt for a replacement.

[TITLE] All Seeing Eye

[DESCRIPTION]
As you arrive for a business lunch at a high-end restaurant in @@CAPITAL@@, you find an unexpected mob of protesting civil rights activists and animal lovers who are furious that a blind patron was recently thrown out of the establishment due to the presence of their guide dog.

[VALIDITY] Public protest permitted


[OPTION 1] "STOP THE DISCRIMINATION!" booms @@RANDOMNAME@@ through @@HIS@@ megaphone, before lowering it to address you. "This proud citizen of @@NAME@@ was thrown out of a business because of blatant discrimination against their disability! The animal was properly trained and credentialed, wearing its vest, and wasn't causing a disturbance. You need to guarantee the right of persons with disabilities to keep their certified service animals with them in public!"

[EFFECT 1] reflective vests are the hottest animal fashion trend


[OPTION 2] "Why should my Mr. Shnookums need to prove himself to some dumb agency?" asks teeny-bopper @@RANDOMNAME@@, failing to notice @@HIS@@ pet peeing on the leg of a dining table. "Mr. Shnookums gives me the emotional support I need to have a super special day! People should be able to take their pets wherever they want, whenever they want! If a person says they need their pet with them, that should be good enough."

[EFFECT 2] restaurants across the country are adding kibble to the menu


[OPTION 3] "Excuse me, but this establishment caters to a certain, ahem, elite clientele, and they have certain expectations for decorum" interjects maƮtre d' @@RANDOMNAME@@, who happens to be allergic to dogs. "If we are to maintain the cleanliness of our establishment, the hygiene of our kitchen, and the sort of ambiance our patrons expect, we must be able to prohibit these animals from entering. If somebody likes dogs so much, let them take home a doggie bag."

[EFFECT 3] drug dens forbid searches by police dogs in order to "protect the ambiance"


[OPTION 4] "This is an outrage, @@LEADER@@" fumes restaurant owner @@RANDOMNAME@@, taking a break from belittling @@HIS@@ staff to jab a finger towards you. "These protestors are completely out of line. Who do they think they are, trying to hurt my business like this? We'll keep on banning animals, thank you very much. Children too, while we're at it, and anybody who doesn't meet our standards! Do me a favor, and ban those protestors too! You're all banned!"

[EFFECT 4] @@NAME@@ puts the "nation" in "discrimination"

I do believe that this issue already exists-albeit I think that the animal in question is a "Seeing Eye @ANIMAL@", rather than a dog. Don't remember the exact name though.

Damn, yup! I did searches on "service animal" "seeing eye" and several other variants, but missed that one. Thanks for the link!

Draft abandoned for repetition.
