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?

You beat me to it. Just shaking my head at that comment.

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.

Do you do the same when you see kids with their contaminated shoes riding in the main part of a shopping cart?

The thing is, what do you do with the kid? Unlike the dog you can’t leave it at home alone.

1. Put them in the kiddie section in the front of the cart, where they're supposed to go.
2. Make them walk.
3. Roll them around in a stroller with a basket attached for people who have kids and go shopping with them.
4. Use the "kiddie cart" if the store provides them for customers with young kids.

Kids don't belong in the basket of the shopping cart.
