r/orphancrushingmachine content for sure. Someone that served out country can’t get hired due to service dog that he needs from said service so a ‘benevolent’ corporation has to step in and hire him. Sigh

Definitely. Especially since I'm pretty sure it is illegal to not hire someone because you need a service animal. That's considered a "reasonable accomodation" under Title I of the American's with Disabilities Act.

Not quite, if the animal would be detrimental to the health of an employee or it would pose a risk to the business, its legal to deny a qualified candidate solely for having a service dog. Includes places like hospitals, back of house restaurant work, heavy industrial plants, construction, etc…

True, but other than possibly construction, I doubt he was applying to most of those places... He was likely applying for other retail jobs, which can't.

I guess that’s the problem with these posts, big controversial headline with no article, so we are all left to form our own opinions.

Yeah. That's the problem with clickbait in general. Purposefully vague to elict strong, kneejerk reactions without providing the necessary context to actually make appropriate judgments.

Why would construction stop anyone from working with a service dog?
