[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a MAJOR issue and it is getting worse. I was at a two different taco shops at different times when people walked in with their dogs and ordered as people were EATING. No one said a word. If if the dog just took a massive dump right there?? what if someone is allergic. What if the dog gets into someone's food. I seriously considered calling the health department. [/quote]

If this was recent, then DO call the health department. And go on those taco shops' websites or find an e-mail for the owners or go to their Twitter or whatever and complain.

Many jpeople on this thread hate seeing dogs in these kinds of places. I do too. But unless we grow spines and actually complain to the businesses loudly and publicly, they are going to remain too scared to tell a customer with a not-at-all-service dog to take the dog outside. Businesses are terrified of offending idiots whose dogs are their "babies" and also, more legitimately, terrified of questioning someone who actually needs and has a REAL service dog.

So we customers who don't want non-service dogs in these places need to complain -- and let the businesses sort it out and learn they'd better start training managers in how to ask customers whether an animal is a service dog (and not a pet or emotional support animal). Right now, businesses are not asking because they fear confrontation, and the "my dog is my baby" owners are pretty damned confrontational.

Don't just bitch and moan here anonymously, people. Complain in writing, on social media, and if it's a food establishment, yeah, contact the local health department. [/quote]
