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.

I feel like I've seen fewer pets in stores since pandemic times. Maybe people moved on from that affectation.

Why do people who love being with their pets make you sad (assuming pets are allowed)?

Your "emotional support dog" in CVS or TJ Maxx or Old Navy or most stores, even if an employee doesn't call you out on it, is not a service animal. Leave it at home. Don't be that pathetic narcissistic jerk.

This are the people who give dog owners a bad name. Seriously, don't force teenagers to tell you what you should already know.

"people don't say anything" is not the same as "pets are allowed." Home Depot or pet store? Fine. Everyplace else? No, leave your animal at home. Grow up. You're not a child who can't leave home without its blankie. Your animal does not need to go everywhere with you just because you like it.

It's 99% people with small yappy dogs who are the offenders of this. I have never seen anyone with a Rottweiler, Great Dane, Doberman, Boxer go into a Giant or Starbucks or whatever with their dog (unless they are an actual service animal).

I find it strange that this makes you so angry, again, assuming that it's a Home Depot or Petco or the like where pets are permitted. Your anger seems unhealthy.

What a miserable person 😂😂

In the grocery store yesterday a young lady was carrying her puppy around as if she had just given birth. I heard her talking to the cashier about it and apparently it was German Shepherd puppy.

I just saw 2 dogs in Gristedes on the Upper East Side. There is a fairly new "No Pets Allowed" sign on the door, as well there should be. Those 2 were obviously not service dogs, just pets of yuppies being defiant and not leaving their pets at home or outside. This is absolutely ridiculous and is absolutely against state law as well as store policy! If your pet is not a service dog that is absolutely essential for daily activities like shopping, leave it at home or outside!

Read the signs on the front door. They almost always say "only service animals."

All you're doing is taking advantage of a business not wanting to suffer the wrath of a dog owner's poor review, or abusing a poor employee's position who just doesn't want a confrontation.

Just leave your pet at home, people. It's not a kid. And you're not a 4 year old who can't leave home without their stuffed companion.
