I haven't made any assumptions about you. I have simply pointed out why a business may choose not to make an exception to their rules and policies.
Sure, it's great that a business makes that exception for you. But that's what it is - an exception.
What makes your exceptions better than mine? You have 2 1/4 dogs - no, you have 3 dogs. Why should you be allowed to stay with 3 dogs, when good neighbor Joe was denied for having 3 dogs? Should everyone with 3 dogs be allowed? If so, then why have a rule against 3 dogs?
The more often a business makes exceptions to a policy, the more that policy loses its potency. What's the point of establishing standards if you constantly veer from those standards.
If you get an exception from a business, that's great. Enjoy it. But, a business that chooses not to veer from their stated policies isn't evil or greedy - they are being consistent. If you don't like their policy then don't go there.
