People taking their dogs into CVS, and other places that sell food

People allergic to animals are weak, and should stay home. Don't bring down the lives of others because of your own issues.

Every other disability is accommodated, why should a dog allergy be any different.

I agree, op. It’s gross, obnoxious, and entitled.

People like this who bring their pets into stores always strike me as really sad. They're like the sad old lady who pushes a doll in a stroller in the park.

Yep, agreed. I feel like it’s usually lonely women using dogs as a stand in for children (while insisting they don’t want any!) or a boyfriend. It’s so, so sad. I think our society has serious problems.

Welp, I think lonely men taking a gun into a public space and killing a bunch of people is far more sad and serious a societal problem than women who like to carry their pets around. One leads to death and devastation, the other leads to...you kvetching?

Why you've brought guns into this I don't know?

So then leave your animal outside. Or in the car. If it's that important, your dog didn't need to come with you.

You can't leave your animal tied up outside a store OP. FFS. They are not bicycles.

WTF? Of course you can. Your animal is an animal (and not a highly trained service one, at that), not a human being. People do it all the time. You nor your doggy are special. Leave it at home, in the car, or outside.

You’re not allowed to leave your dog unattended in DC

I combine errands with my dog. If I see a sign saying no dogs, I don’t go in. If I don’t see a clear sign, I will ask someone who works in the store. I go by their policies and respect when it’s a “no dog” one.

The same way that I might choose to go to one store because they allow dogs and avoid another because they don’t, you are free to do the reverse.

Food establishments, including grocery and CVS style stores are pretty firm No Dog places because of the food…

Some lady is bringing her dog into the kids' swim lessons school. My DC is allergic to dogs and has asthma. She brings the dog in and sits inside for 30 minutes. This is so inappropriate!

What I object to is the sneaky pee. Every time I go into a Petsmart or any other place that allows dogs I’m standing in their pee. Of course the owners claim “their” dog didn’t do it. It’s disgusting. And your dog with a scarf is not a service animal.

np. no, I'm not going to do that. I am normalizing bringing dogs into stores like this. you will get over it.

And when the dog lifts its leg and leaves it puddle in the store, what happens if someone slips in it? And, of course, it will fall to the person making minimum wage to clean up after the Most Entitled who insist on taking their 'friendly' dogs into stores.

This is ridiculous. You do realize that all over Europe dogs go into shops and restaurants and there are no problems with urination?

Last time I looked this was not “Europe” different country different rules.

In Europe there’s an overall attitude that you do what is best for the collective, while America is way more individualistic and you do what is best for you. So a European dog owner understands they clean up because it is best for everyone, while an American won’t feel bothered. Plus, there’s an attitude that store workers are beneath us, so it can be part of their job to clean up messes.

What Petsmart are you going to, and why aren't you watching where you're walking?

I go to Petsmart weekly and have seen pee maybe once. And I certainly didn't stand in it, it's easy to see on the white tile.

Omg I would be so upset. I have severe allergies and asthma and honestly the pool is one of my last refuges. Almost everywhere else is full of dogs. For people who keep suggesting go where they aren’t allowed, it’s not that easy. People do not follow the rules.

Have you complained?? I would.
