I agree, not any of my business at all and I don't really care. Walking up to someone with a service dog and asking what service the dog provides is not all that much different than walking up to someone in a wheelchair and asking them why they need to use it. Not my business. I think dogs in TV are used to their retired owners always being around and they get used to the constant companionship and don't like being left alone all day. Also, many people here have lost their spouses and their dogs help to fill the void left in their lives and provide companionship throughout the day and in their travels. They probably come in stores with their dogs because you can't leave them in a hot car. As far as sanitation, I never see problems being caused. On the other hand, I've seen little kids in stores lick stuff, pick their noses and wipe their fingers on merchandise and make ear piercing noises and nobody wants to ban them.
