And then the store will have to restock the items in their cart... Which usually means tossing out the fresh produce and meats...

Unfortunately, it's a lose/lose proposition for them...

No Dogs allowed
 

I think only service animals (and I question the need for some of those)in grocery stores, restaurants, or any stores. I don't hate dogs but don't want to be around their dander and fleas and have to worry about the dog's temperament.

Back in the 80's when I worked at a grocery store we had a customer come in with a big labrador on a leash wearing a small vest. I was working on a checkout register and saw that the young bag girl nearest to me was enamored over seeing the dog. "Ohh..." she cooed and went over and bagged for that customer and when she walked back toward me I could tell she enjoyed the brief interaction. Back then it was rare... only dog that I remember seeing in the store for the 3 years I worked there. These days people freak out over everything, and I mean everything!

Don't you have food and eat at home?

Parasites and dog butts on grocery carts sounds delicious. What’s on the blanket they put underneath. Why not put bare butted children in the cart??

Only on Doggy Thursday and take your dog shopping Saturdays. Other than that, NO.

And why cant you leave your feces spewing, flea invested, butt licking mongrel at home…EVERY DAY?

Love dogs. But no dog should be next to anybody food or next to my food.
And as far as everybody complaining about a dog and a cart? What about all the dirty diapers that have been in that cart before you put your food in there? Just saying some thing to think about. As I no longer use the top of the cart where the babysit or the dog sit

Dogs no welcome
 

Only leader dogs for the blind should be allowed. No others, not even other service dogs.
Of course pet elephants are always welcome!!!

I was very pleased to see that our local Publix at Lake Deaton Plaza has a sign on the door stating that pets are not allowed in the store.

The next time I go there I will definitely thank the manager for instituting their new policy.

So people that have dogs that detect for diabetics and seizures should not be allowed. Not all services dogs are for the blind. Read Doctor Dogs by Maria Goodavage

Helluva way to talk about a man's wife...

Service Dog Description
 

A. Under the ADA, a service animal is defined as a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. The task(s) performed by the dog must be directly related to the person’s disability.

Q3. Are emotional support, therapy, comfort, or companion animals considered service animals under the ADA?
A. No. These terms are used to describe animals that provide comfort just by being with a person. Because they have not been trained to perform a specific job or task, they do not qualify as service animals under the ADA. However, some State or local governments have laws that allow people to take emotional support animals into public places. You may check with your State and local government agencies to find out about these laws.

Not a Dog Problem
 

Let's face it - it's not a dog problem - it's a people problem - just like so many other issues.
