For me it's a matter of respecting the rules, and not being a special snowflake.

If the sign indicates that pets aren't supposed to be there, then respect that, and don't lie just to justify your /false/ sense of entitlement.

There are places that say "pets welcome!" and I'm FINE with that. There are even some communities around the country where pets are welcome in almost every store, with very few exceptions. And again - that's awesome.

Signs that specify "Service Animals only" are sort of like deed restrictions. You have no excuse to complain, if you get a notice from community standards ordering you to put the grass back on your lawn and remove the river rocks, no matter how nice it looks. And you have no excuse to complain, if the store manager tells you that your PET is not welcome.
