食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)外媒報道,美國密西西比州一家中餐廳因拒絕帶服務(wù)犬的殘疾顧客進餐館,被聯(lián)邦執(zhí)法部門罰款3,000美元。
據(jù)報道,2013年9月齊琳斯莫斯(Vickie Killingsworth)帶著自己的服務(wù)犬前往哈蒂斯堡市(Hattiesburg)的一家名叫“大中國自助餐”(Grand China Buffet )的中餐廳用餐。餐廳服務(wù)員告訴齊琳斯莫斯,餐廳里不能有狗,他們必須馬上離開。
此案經(jīng)由聯(lián)邦檢方調(diào)查后,檢察官認為,齊琳斯莫斯在餐廳受到的待遇,使其被剝奪了“殘障美國人法”賦予的權(quán)利。最后,餐館老板陳振飛同意補償齊琳斯莫斯2,500元損失費,并繳納500元民事罰款。

In September 2013, a woman named Vickie Killingsworth and her service dog went to Grand China Buffet Restaurant in Hattiesburg.
