Nassau Health Foods — Attraction in Fernandina Beach

Upon entering the establishment (that was busy), a manger or employee by the name TJ yelled from across the building asking me if my dog was a service dog.🐕‍🦺 when I replied with a “yes” he then proceeded to say “if your service dog barks or jumps you will be asked to leave”. Causing a huge spike in my heart rate; my blood to drain from my face and hands. As I walked to get the 3 items I needed my beautiful, wonderful service dog, gave me my pitch warning that I would need to regulate so my medical conditions could regulate.
