Wake up Walmart
If you want to file a complaint against Walmart you need to go to:

to file a complain for access denial of a service dog.
I am a member of a service dog organization in Florida that has been to the State Capitol to fight for our rights and have the state statutes changed to reflect the ADA laws. Yes, federal supercedes local but try getting the wrong police officer that doesn't want to be bothered. If you get a police officer that doesn't want to file a written complaint for you, be nice, and ask for his/her superviser. You can be nice and persistent. I know its hard but everyone that takes the proper stand now helps other people down the road. I guess you could say we are paving the way. If you need to file a complaint with the ADA you have to submit a written complaint to:
Department of Justice
Civil Rights Division
950 Penn. Ave. N.W.
Disability Rights Section - N.Y.A.V.
Washington D.C. 20530
If you are asked to leave a place don't stand there and argue, leave and call the police. Let the police do the arguing for you. That way you cannot be accussed of civil disobedience. It doesn't hurt to have a copy of the ADA laws along with a copy of your state's statute pertaining to the use of service dogs with you. If you live in Florida it is Florida Statute 413.08.
If your state statute doesn't reflect the ADA, start writing letters to your congressmen asking that it be changed.
