The hard part is, what would you have the store do? Don't say, "keep them out," explain how the store manager should do that.

Should they have security at the front of the store? What would the security do? Should they block the path of anyone attempting to enter with a pet? Should they take people by the arm and physically remove them from the store? Should they call the police and have customers arrested? Knowing that whatever they do will wind up on the front page of the paper, how should they treat their pet-owning customers?
They should warn them at the front door or in the store that they will not be able to check out at the register.
