In NY State there is a law that no animals are allowed inside any business that has food. People disobey it all the time, and businesses that have a small profit margin but large turnover tend to kowtow to the dog owner customer.
In the tight space of NYC Starbucks they bring in these huge dogs that get between you and the path you need to take. Yet Starbucks official policy is to let them in.
Watch how fast you turn into the animal-hating villain if you say a word.
Yep. The ADA is very clear so called “Emotional support animals” are not considered legitimate service animals.
Publix is living up to it’s slogan: ‘Where Shopping is a Pleasure’ with this,
Hubby and I were in IHOP for lunch today. I looked up just as a lady was leaving and holding her Chihuahua. I asked our waiter if it was trained service dog. He didn’t know because she wasn’t seated in his area. (sigh)
Yeah it sucks having to clean up after them in the produce department.
Another reason to like Publix. We have had three or four Publix stores open in our area this year. We get almost all our groceries there now
Hopefully, other food stores and other stores will take this stance and stop the invasion of fake service animals.
