I love the prices and selection! However, I brought my 5 month old service dog (In training) to help me non-epileptic seizures from serious trauma and C-PTSD. I have all the certifications I need and I have been bringing her with me there weekly for 3 months. She is very well behaved and never barks, whines, or messes with anything in the store. Just wanted to mention that because my service dog is in training, at any moment if she were to misbehave or act unlike a service dog would that I would leave the store immediately and work with her because she is training! An employee came up to me today and asked me is she a service dog, and I had replied with yes. The employee continued to ask what she does as a service dog and I stated she helps me with Non-epileptic seizures. I completely understand just asking but the employee continued to mention other dogs that were at fault in there store and telling me to do certain things as if I was clueless about my service dog. I was extremely uncomfortable with the whole situation and went to the counter as quick as I could to check out. As I was checking out I felt more uneasy and my dog signaled me to go find a space to lay down. The employee continued to say what are you doing and my boyfriend with me told him I need to lay down to be safe. The employee had no disregard for me and walked away and made a sarcastic face, however, another employee came up to make sure the situation was okay. My boyfriend stated I was okay and the comfort of my service dog would help me through the seizure while held my head. I will definitely not be coming...
   Read moreI am disabled physically. I use a 4 wheel walker aka rollator.
I don’t drive and took a bunch of cans and bottles to recycle. I was early because of the bus schedule.
I was just sitting on my walker and smoking a cigarette. The cigarette wasn’t the problem. She didn’t want me sitting outside the door.
So, I went across the street to wait until the recycling opened.
When it did open, I was able to recycle my cans and bottles. I went in the store to get my payment and the woman said I had to leave the premises immediately.
I walked across the street to catch a bus. While I was waiting the woman A apparently called the police. I told them that I was extremely confused about what I allegedly did to warrant such treatment.
I told them that I was disabled and had some mental health issues that I had been drug compliant on for over 13 years.
I also said that I was occasionally having episodes of hypoxia - where there is not enough oxygen in the brain (quick laymen’s terms).
They took me home but I will never go to Laurence’s for anything as long as I shall live.
I was 59 at the time of this incident. It is too late now, but I wish that I had followed some friends advice...
