It must get bad because there are signs asking people not to put dog feces in the garbage cans there. Most dog owners are responsible and considerate but the ones that are not are ruining for the rest of us. Stupid and ignorant.

They bring them into the supermarkets too, sometimes carrying them in their arms, sometimes wandering on retractable leashes where they can get their feces-eating faces right up to the bottom cereal box shelves...
Customers need to complain about that stuff if they see it happen. Since there's no responsibility on the dog owner to prove that his dog is a service dog, it's a liability issue to kick them out. But if a customer complains that the dog is doing something wrong, management can take action.
Service dogs need to be: 4 on the floor, on a 6' or shorter leash or harness, heel whenever the handler stops, follow close when the handler moves, and not be sniffing the merchandise. In other words - they MUST behave while they're "on duty." If they aren't on duty, they're not supposed to be in the store at all.
