That really depends on the reasons. Denying service for a discriminatory reason (like a disability) will generally breach discrimination laws.
It sounds like they don't have a problem with the disability, but with the tool she chooses to use to circumvent the disability.
Legally speaking those are the same thing.
If you’re using your vehicle for Uber, legally you should be registering it as a commercial vehicle, not a private vehicle.
Once you start operating as a business (Uber driver) you need meet the same standards as other businesses.
This is true. Those that do not actually require a service animal for actual valid reasons like this trash it for those who do.
Stores can deny service but not based on disability. Same should apply to uber, and does. It's their private car, yes but if they don't want service animals in it, they should only use it privately.
I choose to discriminate against you being in my thread. Please leave.
this is more a case of someone not knowing what a joke is
Do you think that because they can, that automatically makes it justified?
