PUMA - Woodstock, Georgia 30188 - The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta

My wife, daughter, myself and our service dog went to the mall for a day out to look for sneakers. There was a short line at the PUMA store so we waited, we were 3rd in line. When our turn came up to go in, the employee at the entrance told us that our dog was not allowed, I said that is against the law. He said no dogs are allowed in the store. We walked away and I was going to call a lawyer right away when we got home. We got 50' away and I turned and came back and asked the employee his name his reply "you dont need to worry about that", I asked to see his manager he looked around the outside then inside in 3 sec and said "he aint here". At this point i walked past him with my service dog in hand and yelled in the door "Is there a manager here?" Right away someone answered from 15' away behind the register counter - I asked him "you know its against the law to stop a service dog from entering your store?" His reply was very rude and he definately must have heard the conversation at the door - "not everyone is up to date on state laws, if he truly is a service dog he can come in but only if he is a service dog." My dog was wearing his vest with all appropiate badging, licenses etc clearly visible. At this point i was so angry at his rudeness and the indignity suffered by the employee that I had to leave before I did something physical. I will be following this up with a call to his supervisor, a call to the owners of PUMA and anyone else i can think of. I have never ever been treated like this before, this was almost racist as the other individuals in line were all chatted with the employee very cheerfully. This happened on May 17th at 4:00pm, both the employee and the store manager were black and I am a disabled white senior citizen.
