Disagree. You can ask, but the owner is under no obligation to answer your very rude and personal question. The only allowance for asking those questions is from an employee of a covered entity.What task has it been trained to perform?
Those are the questions you can ask. ...
going to the office is a good idea.Thanks a lot for the advices. And I did not start the trip. I cancelled it later under Rider Requested Cancel.
And here is a copy of my doctor's note. I am going to the office now again with it, lets see what happens.
In what way do you disagree with me. You quoted the precise questions I said that you could ask. The only other stipulation I mentioned is that emotional support is not valid, and it's not, emotional support dogs are not trained service dogs and not protected under ADA clauses (they added that stipulation because of the abuse it was causing). There are indeed a ton of other tasks dogs can be trained to perform including various seizure dogs and the low blood sugar sniffer, personally all the service dogs I've had in the car have all been seeing eye dogs, which are usually quite obvious as to their function.Disagree...
GENERAL RULES
Q7. What questions can a covered entity's employees ask to determine if a dog is a service animal?
A. In situations where it is not obvious that the dog is a service animal, staff may ask only two specific questions: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform? Staff are not allowed to request any documentation for the dog, require that the dog demonstrate its task, or inquire about the nature of the person's disability.
you are not a covered entity employee. You can ask if there is a disability, but you can't deny service based on whether or not you think the dog's capacity as a service animal is bogus. Even if it's an emotional support dog, there is no way to distinguish between that and an ADA covered disability. Telling people they can decide for themselves whether or not to accept an animal in their car is bad advice, and I disagree with that advice.In what way do you disagree with me.
I bet you drove during the strike too... Now you come looking for help when uber spit on you.... This stuff will continue to happen. I hope it work out for you...Hello, I apologize for creating a thread for this topic as it already has been discussed several times. I just got deactivated from Uber regarding this issue. I am a uber partner from Toronto, ON.
Last friday I got a ping 3 minutes away in uptown Toronto and as I was searching for getting a ride to downtown, I accepted it. The rider in question had a rating of 4.1 and upon arriving to pick her up, I realized why. She was a middle aged woman carrying a furry little black dog with few luggages beside her with no sign of having any kind of disability issues. From the moment I arrived, she talked with me with the tone of utter disgust and ordered me to (Not ask or request) to put her luggage into my trunk. I was about to get off my car to oblige but just before that, I noticed her dog. It was not wearing any kind of tag or jacket a service animal usually wears. I politely told her that I am extremely allergic to domestic animals and the only time I will consider tolerating such close proximity to an animal will be if it is a service dog which is required for her accessibility. She told me it is a service dog, and thats when I asked her for showing me a reasonable proof that it was one (I did not know that by law she is not required to show me any kind of proof). She said she did not have any and started warning me that I would get into trouble with Uber if I did not take her. I told her sorry once again and offered to call another Uber for her. She point blank refused and shut the door on my face. So I waited there as she called a Cab and then left.
Yesterday when I wanted to log into my uber account, it said my account has not been activated. I sent several emails to support@uber.com without getting any kind of explanation or replies. So I decided to go the main Toronto Office where I was told the reason my account was put on hold was because someone complained about me not taking a service animal and the chances are high that I will be permanently deactivated. I still did not receive any of email confirming this neither have I received any kind of email giving me any kind of options or a 2nd chance.
I have a rating of 4.58. I do not think I am a bad person or partner but on the same time I realize my rating is low. Majority of my riders give me a 5* but I also get a lot of 1*s in the same time as I have to be extra authoritative than majority of the partners to keep most of my intoxicated passengers in control. I am just 21 years old and I look like a boy, so most of my riders try to take advantage of me from time to time. I am in my last year of University and Uber was my only source of part time income and I greatly rely on that to maintain the payments for my car. I am extremely frustrated and clueless right now and would greatly appreciate any kind of feedback you guys can provide me.
Thanks in advance.
PS: The following paragraph is an extract from a doctor's note I acquired from my full health checkup/test before moving to Canada,
"Ahamedkh is affected by severe case of anaphylaxis causing acute cases of asthma attacks due to any kind of close proximity to dust from heavy construction sites or any exposure to fur/ allergens from domestic pets/ animals. There is no available medication to control attacks caused by these particular allergens and immunotherapy will be required to stabilize such attacks."

Allergies and fear of dogs are not valid reasons for denying access or refusing service to people using service animals. When a person who is allergic to dog dander and a person who uses a service animal must spend time in the same room or facility, for example, in a school classroom or at a homeless shelter, they both should be accommodated by assigning them, if possible, to different locations within the room or different rooms in the facility.
Dunno, but it seems that if you make an attempt to get another car everybody is being accommodated.
I don't know why you people are quoting the Americans with Disabilities Act for something that happened in a different country.Its against the Ada to question the validity of an animal said to be a service animal... if they say it is, well by law it is.
