There are many kinds of trained service dogs. Some can even warn their owners of an impending seizure, then help the owner to the ground as well as maneuver to provide a cushion for the owners head so that it does not hit the ground repeatedly.

Specially trained service dogs are one thing,
but pets and comfort dogs are not welcome in food stores IMHO!

Please don’t say it is my private business what’s wrong with me, the license would not have to say that you have epilepsy or something, or whatever service dogs help with, just that this dog is required to assist you. On the license maybe a photo of the dog. Like a handicap pass it should not be reproducible.
With the delivery services available, no one actually needs to go into a store, especially if they need to drag a dog with them.
Also, many people who have medical issues wear medic-alert tags incase the have attacks or seizures. For the protection of the patient and the dog, both should have tags issued by government.

Every time this topic comes up, it reminds me of the time when a black lab was brought into Ben, Bath and Beyond and proceeded to take a "dump" on the floor. The dog's owner quickly took the dog back outside, but never returned to clean up the mass. Leave them home. I don't want them in a shopping cart that I put my perishables in. I really love dogs, just not in stores.

Your home is your business what dogs do or where they go.

Public places is a different then your home where products are consumed
and bought without dog/cat hair in/on them.

I understand but they are few. This is about all the other privileged owners/dogs.

Are you actually asking why normal people do not want to encounter dog feces and urine when shopping?

Exactly! Why is it so hard for the entitled dog owners to understand this?

Yes. I don’t like an animal which eats **** to lick my food or sit in my grocery cart. I don’t appreciate animals which are not clean at other peoples’ homes either. The groomed ones are fine. But not to lick your plate or something. Now it is true that some of my friends keep their dog cleaner than themselves so those dogs are okay to sit in my lap.

Should dogs be allowed in a grocery store?
 
No, no, no, no, no!
I love dogs, but there is absolutely no reason to take them with you everywhere you go. It's ridiculous. Except for service dogs, of course.

I feel the same way about kids sitting in the main part of grocery carts. Their shoes are contaminated with who knows what they have walked in. I would like to see grocery store employees prohibit kids from riding inside the main part of the grocery carts for this reason.

That is a great suggestion.

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?
I think I saw this on the other thread and I agree with this.........management should not allow the person with their pet to check out at the register. That will surely relay a message and that person will refrain from coming back into the store again with their pet. That seems reasonable to me.
