I disagree. A parent may need to bring a child to a store - maybe they don't have childcare and can't leave a child home alone safely. Pet owners can leave a pet at home. The default should be that the pet stays at home. I don't remember seeing random pets in stores and supermarkets when I was growing up. Somehow, pet owner expectations have changed and no one has thought through whether these new expectations are reasonable. Is the pet-friendly store liable if an elderly customer trips on a leash in a narrow store aisle? What if the dog bites someone? Or someone slips after stepping on a puddle of dog urine?

Girl, bye. It’s not our responsibility to make adjustments for your kid. I will always take my well-behaved dog places where she’s allowed.

Maybe don’t have kids if you don’t have the resources to handle them.

This is a perfect example of where our culture has gone.

Exactly. People shouldn’t have kids if they don’t have the means to care for them. The world isn’t going to stop because you (or another) have a child with dog allergies and no childcare. Dogs will continue to be in dog-friendly places. Make better choices.

Children = human (meaning belongs in places where humans need to shop for their needs)
Dog = not human (menqaing doesn't belong in a place where humans need to buy their food)

does that help?

Where did I say differently. It’s almost like you’re arguing with yourself.

What I am saying is that I will take my dog wherever she’s allowed. If a store is dog friendly and you don’t like seeing digs there, you should take it up with management.

You were also saying a lot of other things such as "if your child is allergic they should stay home" and "I don't need to make accommodations for your child." You do need to and should make accommodations for humans (children included). Don't know why you think your dog is more important.

Ah, yes.

That was in response to the poster who said that—even if the store allows dogs—“A parent may need to bring a child to a store - maybe they don't have childcare and can't leave a child home alone safely. Pet owners can leave a pet at home. The default should be that the pet stays at home.”

So, yeah, that is where we disagree. I’m not making accommodations for your child. That’s solely your job and your responsibility.

And that's why you're an ass8ole dog owner. Your dog absolutely does not NEED to be there while a child might HAVE to be there. Their rights will always supersede those of your dog.

Most stores don't welcome dogs except pet stores. PP is creating a false narrative implying that dogs are welcome everywhere except grocery stores and that she only meant keep your kids out of the ones that "don't welcome dogs" as if that weren't the vast majority and the default.

Plenty of non-pet stores stores allow dogs.

The only grocers I see on there are Whole Foods and Walmart. That should tell you that they are not welcome or allowed in the vast majority of them.

I don’t take my dog into stores (pet stores are the only exception) and would never even consider taking him into an establishment that sells food, but he would much rather go with me than be left at home. If I grab my keys or put on my shoes, he trots to the garage door, wagging his tail. I do take him to run errands when he can stay in the car with me (Target drive up orders, curbside pickups, drive thrus) and he loves it. He rides along to drive the kids to school. When we load up the car with luggage to take a trip, he runs to the car and hops in and just waits for us to finish loading and get in.

Clearly that's not true, or dogs would not be allowed in any stores at all.

I was herding my kids away from a pitbull who was losing it in a store and the owner passive aggressively announced "I guess those people don't want to say Hi to you, Luna...." Now it's not enough to tolerate your dog's presence, we're all supposed to pet it and fuss over it too?

What did the dog say back though? Was it even interested in your kids?

Really? Anyone who is not automatically comfortable with a stranger’s dog is a terrible person? If that is the attitude among pet owners, no wonder there are so many untrained dogs running around in stores - I’ve seen them in MOM’s Market, Giant, and Target, all stores with grocery items.

The dogs are off leash and running around? A lot of them?

[Anonymous]

I’ve seen owners stick their dogs in grocery store carts and handheld grocery store baskets. Yuck.

Maybe people want to take their children out? Who says that it is purely lack of resources? Plus the same could be said for dog owners...

The first PP’s example was a parent who DoEs’nT hAvE cHiLdCaRe. Sounds like poor planning to me. 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️
