"We at Ann Taylor sincerely apologize to Mrs. Andrews for her experience at the City Creek store," the chain said in a statement. "Service animals are always welcome in our stores and this incident is not representative of how we approach customer service. In our previous statement we had said that her guide dog was unharnessed. This was not the case. We were misinformed and we are sorry that this incorrect information was released. We strive for 100 percent customer satisfaction. In this case we fell short. We are in contact with Mrs. Andrews and her family to make this situation right."

As for Andrews, she's handling it all with a ton of class, saying she does not intend to sue and only wants them to make sure other disabled customers are treated better.

"I hope they can use it as an opportunity to learn from it and make sure it doesn't happen again," she said.
