As local business owners and members of the Appleton Downtown community, we believe everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. We’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with many local business owners, including Appleton B**r Factory, McFleshmans Brewing, Victoria's Italian Cuisine,Tandem W**e and B**r, Roll the Dice Vintage, Float Light, ACOCA Cafe & Roastery, the durty leprechaun, OB's Brau Haus 2.0 and more.
We appreciate that these businesses understand and follow the Americans with Disabilities Act. Federal law requires businesses open to the public to allow people with disabilities to bring their service dogs into areas where customers are allowed. That includes disabled veterans who rely on service dogs.
Unfortunately, Calavera’s Fine Fusions does not understand nor follow the Americans with Disabilities Act. We experienced this firsthand when rude and aggressive staff refused to allow a disabled veteran and fellow business owner to enter with their service dog. Their response showed a lack of understanding of the ADA, and their behavior was ignorant and unacceptable.
We sincerely hope Calaveras takes responsibility, educates its employees, and ensures disabled guests and their service animals are treated with the respect and access the law requires.
