But apparently, some businesses are either ignorant of or defiant of this state guarantee.

Just like boiling down a recipe on the stove, allowing the unnecessary water to evaporate so that you are left with only the concentrated flavor, you need to remove the unnecessary people and issues in order to get at the essence of the problem. Read the following scenario and see if you can figure out who is involved in the problem, what the conflict is about, and therefor who needs to sit down at the same table to come up with a solution.

October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. Use that as an excuse to drive out to one of these pet shelters to meet your new four-legged best friend.
