“…(the plaintiff), who uses the dog to ease his posttraumatic stress disorder, is suing for $1 million in Manhattan Federal Court. He claims the 
incident humiliated him and exacerbated his PTSD…(he) said he tried to reason with the employee invoking the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which permits service animals in public spots…(the plaintiff), who won an undisclosed settlement in 2011 after suing a McDonald’s in Times Square over a similar experience, said he left the KFC rather than continue the argument…”
A disabled Iraq War veteran who worked at Ground Zero says the Colonel treated him like trash. Charles Hernandez, 50, a retired public school administrator, claims he was refused service at a KFC in the Bronx after he brought his service dog into the fried chicken joint.
His suit says the KFC worker violated federal, state and city laws and caused Hernandez distress. The suit also names as defendants KFC manager Sade Clarke, the restaurant’s owner, Star Partner Enterprises Two LLC, and that company’s principal owner, Thomas Rose.
