From what I've read the FDA strictly forbids animals in a grocery store or any establishment that prepares food. With the exception of service animals. Under the Americans With Disabilities Act emotional support animals do not qualify as they aren't trained to perform any service for a person. You don't have to confront the ignorant jerk that brings their dog into the store, just ask for the manager and inform them that you are going to contact the FDA and lodge a complaint. I love animals and have had many pets over the years but they have their place and it isn't anywhere near my food.
