Emily VelascoHaving worked in retail for many years, I am 1000 percent against people bringing their dogs with them into any store. Leave your dog at home. It doesn't matter how well behaved they are, some minimum wage worker is eventually going to have to clean up after your pet when they shit or piss somewhere in the store.
I wonder if this is as prevalent in other parts of the country as it is in LA. Everyone here seems to have decided they *must* bring their dog everywhere with them
Chris Linstid@MLE_online here in NH I only really see that in places like Lowe's and Tractor Supply Company and it's not even that common. Quite rare to see dogs in other stores here.
@clinstid I see it in the hardware store a lot (and had to clean up my fair share of dog poop in home depot when i worked there), but I also see it in the grocery store a lot now
@MLE_online a lot of the stores that have food around here have signs that say "service dogs only".
@clinstid but no one enforces it! and people can just go on amazon and buy a fake service dog vest for their unruly mutt
@MLE_online yeah, I can't blame people working at the stores for not trying to enforce it though. Not worth getting in an argument over what a service dog really is. 🤦
@clinstid yea, this is just a symptom of a deeper rot in our me-first culture
