That is THEIR right. You have the right to not go to these places, and they have the right to not let your pet through their doors.

Service animals are TRAINED to behave. That's an actual thing. Pets might, or might not be trained to behave. You don't get to find out until after the damage is done.

If all of this bothers you, stay home. You're allowed to, that is your right. Or you can go and be bothered by it. That is also your right. What you don't have the right to do, is bring your pet into any building owned or rented by someone other than you. That would be a privilege granted to you by the owner/tenant.

The establishments you mention cannot prevent the entry of a "certified" service dog --THAT is against the law.
They can prevent you from entering but not the dog!
