99% of the time my dog does not wear a vest. It is not required by law and no one reads it anyway. First time into a building I will put it on her - or in some environments. But, most often I dont bother to put it on her (that point is clear in the Federal Law)

Q8. Do service animals have to wear a vest or patch or special harness identifying them as service animals?
A. No. The ADA does not require service animals to wear a vest, ID tag, or specific harness.

And WalMart CAN demand the dog not be in a cart. Publix on 441 and 446 both have banned the practice. If your dog can has to ride in a cart - it can not possibly offer a "service" to the handler. When I see those dogs I just shake my head - if they bark at my dog I complain to the Manager every time.
I think that we can all agree - it has gone far too far. To the point that those of us that have "real" service dogs are given a hard time.
