Yep. That's the corner they have painted themselves into. They have admitted, publicly and in writing, that unless you formally request (and qualify via your vet status) special treatment, then you WILL be treated with a lack of respect and you WILL suffer a loss of dignity because THAT is their SOP.
'Respect and dignity' is a now formally sanctioned and official EXCEPTION to the SOP - and don't you forget it! Citizen!
Do you feel safer now?
