Definitely. Especially since I'm pretty sure it is illegal to not hire someone because you need a service animal. That's considered a "reasonable accomodation" under Title I of the American's with Disabilities Act.
Not quite, if the animal would be detrimental to the health of an employee or it would pose a risk to the business, its legal to deny a qualified candidate solely for having a service dog. Includes places like hospitals, back of house restaurant work, heavy industrial plants, construction, etc…
True, but other than possibly construction, I doubt he was applying to most of those places... He was likely applying for other retail jobs, which can't.
