Now you’re sooo close to getting there but you can’t quite make the leap to simply minding your own business and practicing basic tolerance of others. You live in a complex world that is mot designed to satisfy your personal desires.

No one has to tolerate health code violations dumbo. It is not a "personal desire" -- it's the law and it exists for good reasons. If you don't like the law you are welcome to go try and get them changed but until then your dog doesn't belong in the grocery store and it's not intolerant complain loudly and often until you STOP bringing it there.

How do people manage to survive the health impacts of dogs in Germany where I regularly see dogs in restaurants and stores?

In this case the Karens are right and I'm at the point where I don't care if all the dog people hate me. Perhaps it will force them to keep their dogs out of my face instead of thinking I'm dying to pet and hang out with their untrained and over-excited pit mix while he sheds in my food or blocks my grocery cart in the produce section.

Now you’re just lying. You have literally never had a pit mix shed in your food. WTF Karen

Of course she has -- 90% of the dogs in my neighborhood are pit mixes and people constantly bring them into Whole Foods where there's a hot bar or into coffee shops or into the market where there are food stalls. We've all had a pit mix shed in our food! We're all eating dog hair and dander all the time because the dog owners are lawless jerks.

You’re also eating my hair and eyelashes and skin flakes so you might want to just eat at home. You are unhinged.

NP. Just because you haven't seen it (yet) doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I have two dogs currently, and have owned dogs for most of my life. (Point being I love dogs).

I have seen dogs in the Starbucks in Potomac, in the Safeway in Potomac, and in the Giant in McLean. None of them were service animals. I have also seen people take dogs into shops that have large "No dogs allowed" signs, and the people in the shops do nothing--even when asked about it.

And yet nothing actually happened to you. What’s the problem?

That's your takeaway? You're really not bright, are you? Maybe you should read it all again so you can draw the correct conclusion. Hint: Of course nothing happened to me, nor did I imply that.

Yeah that is my takeaway. That’s the most important point. Mind your own business.

No -- mind your DOG. It is illegal to bring dogs into these places.

Also I'm not this PP but dogs in places they don't belong absolutely impacts me because my child has a huge dog allergy. If there are dogs places they aren't supposed to be then we have to leave. But I'm sure you don't care about that because you don't care about anyone but yourself.

I was on a TGV fast train in France this weekend. There was a tough looking guy with tattoos sitting opposite us with the cutest looking Sydney Silky with a sequined leash sitting in the seat beside him. The ticket conductor didn't bat an eyelid about the dog on the seat, and the dog looked like he did this all the time.

At least the dog wasn't coughing its lungs out like the woman behind us.

I'm so sick of people who think it's ok to admit they like dogs more than people. You're not special.

I definitely like dogs more than many people. People, by and large, suck. Why is that not OK to admit? I don't think that makes me special, just realistic.

No dear. It makes you pathetic. And probably a terrible dog owner.

Please connect the dots for me. Liking dogs probably makes me a terrible dog owner?

It doesn't seem like logic is your first language.

Oh please. My child has peanut allergies but you don’t see me ranting about the Thai restaurant that I choose to order from.

Then you don't live in DC. It is a DAILY issue here. That's why you see constant threads on here about dogs -- the dog situation in DC has gotten out of control.

Don't believe me? Here:

I love it when people cite Reddit as an authoritative source. It tells you exactly who you are dealing with.

Actually there are public health laws to keep that stuff out of our food too which is why if you work in food prep and don't put your hair in a hairnet or wash your hands when you use the bathroom you can be fired or your employer can be fined or shut down.

Also dog allergies are a thing but the only part of you most people are allergic to is your stank personality.

They hate dogs and thus dog owners. It’s a fear/anxiety thing.

Ok fair so I will concede the point that dogs preparing food should wear proper hair nets.

In many places in Europe, there is a strong sense of social obligation and dog owners wouldn't behave thoughtlessly (and if they did, would be confronted directly). The problem isn't all dog owners, it's the ones who don't respect other people's needs.

Exactly. It's really not rocket science.

DOGS ARE ILLEGAL IN ALL FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS, PERIOD.

You may NOT bring your stupid fur baby into any cafe, restaurant, bar, brewery, grocery store, or anywhere else where food is prepped and sold. The only exemption DC has is for outdoor areas. It doesn't matter what establishment ownership says either, it is literally FDA food code that live animals cannot be in food establishments. DC, MD, and VA have adopted FDA food code.

Keep your stupid dogs at home or outside. No, they're allowed inside the cafe where I'm getting my coffee. Just because their is mass ignorance of the law and lack of enforcement doesn't make it right. You're breaking the law and so is the food establishment.

This statement will make me bring my dog into Starbucks this weekend. Thank you for your irrational rant. Write me up.

Good, now name the Starbucks. I will file a complaint with the Starbucks corporate and the department of health with the state asking why said Starbucks is violating the law. It will be fun shutting down your local Starbucks son you no longer have access.

Keep your gross ass dog away from other peoples' food stuffs. Dogs can easily transmit zoonotic disease.

That's because peanuts are a food that you are legally allowed to serve in a restaurant weirdo (with warnings for people with allergies just as you would for shellfish or other foods that are also common allergens).

Is dog hair and dander a food? Do people line up to eat your dog's fur? No. That's why it's illegal to bring dogs into food service businesses.

Logic is your friend.

So with all of these dogs that are “everywhere” I am sure you must have caught some sort of disease by now, right? Hm.

No, you're a terrible dog owner because you put your dog above people. Your dog will never be more important than a human being.

And I love dogs, but I will always love people more. Your belief that people are horrible, but dogs are sooooooo cool is just pathetic.
