| Smart A$$ It's official, per DH, I'm a smart a$$, ok, you know I get tired of all the "comments" about Sprocket when we are out in public. Now mostly I just ignore them (the stupid ones) or if someone really wants to know I tell them, BUT yesterday we were in the dollar store, between the fake flowers and the plastic spoons, and MS VIP or so she thought, comes up to me, "can't bring a DOG in here, THE FOOD YOU KNOW", ok wait for it, I looked her in the eye very seriously, "OH BUT HE's NOT A DOG, HE'S A REDHEAD", she closed her mouth and sputtered a couple of times, I turned around finished out the isle went very calmly around then out the door. NOthing I wanted anyway, I KNOW, I KNOW, I just could not resist it. The dog behaved better than I did. I know he looked better and was cleaner than MS VIP was!!!! I know a rant but I hate stupidity.

| If it is their policy not to allow dogs in there, then you can't bring in a dog. She is just following what she is told. If her boss comes in there at that moment and sees you with a dog her a$$ is fired. It doesn't matter if it is a little dog or a big dog. No dogs means no dogs period. Sorry I don't agree with you.

I honestly dont inderstand why walmart (as well as other stores) will allow service animals into their stores but personal pets are not allowed. A dog is a dog is a dog-regardless of service or not. There's still food there if the service animal is there. And my 1.2 pound Yorkie is never going to touch the ground, the buggy or any shelves. That service animal will. Now, don't misconstrue that to think i have anything against handicapped people and don't want their service animals allowed into stores-I get that they need them for many things. I just think some things are silly. My dog is 100 times cleaner than the rats and mice running around in those stores!!

Unless there is a sign saying dogs "are" allowed or you ask first, then it's expected that they aren't allowed. As for service dogs vs. regular dogs, there are way fewer service dogs in the world than regular pets. Stores could be overrun with animals if they let them all in. And what about the cat owners who think they should be allowed? The biting animals (service animals are highly trained and less likely to be aggressive)? Many dirty and stinky dogs in the store daily? Service/support/whathaveyou animals should be allowed if a doctor/psychiatrist feels it is necessary.

| [QUOTE=McheleM;3591342]While I agree with you, I feel 1. It should be posted 2. If it's a company policy, it needs to upheld consistently (one store allows it, another doesn't) and 3. It should be handled in a polite and discreet manner. I honestly dont inderstand why walmart (as well as other stores) will allow service animals into their stores but personal pets are not allowed. A dog is a dog is a dog-regardless of service or not. There's still food there if the service animal is there. And my 1.2 pound Yorkie is never going to touch the ground, the buggy or any shelves.

| I don't see where the girl was nasty in any way. They don't have a weight limit for their policy... a dog is a dog. As for service dogs, they may go anywhere it's the law. We as able people don't have to see the logic in it..we just have to abide by it. Listen I have 4 little ones and they dont touch the floor at all either but if it isn't allowed then it isn't allowed. The girl simply told her that the dog is not allowed in there because of the food that they sell. It is a dept of health rule. I think the poster was not being very nice to the girl when she was simply telling her that its not allowed.

| If it was posted that dogs were not allowed, they are not allowed. period. I have come to the conclusion that dogs are not allowed unless I asked permission or see a sign posted that they are welcome. I just got back from a trip to visit my daughters in Chicago. We were looking for a parking garage to park a third daughter's car. It was a real mission-- the gentleman at the garage was not communicating very well. Anywho... as we were entering the GARAGE.. he sees Remy.. and says "hold you horses... dogs are not allowed in the GARAGE" a garage???? come on!! any way, I get out of the car and tell the girls I will walk back to the apartment. I guess I was wlking in the wrong direction so he yells at me to come back, he than points to an office and says.."see that sign, well go there and ask directions on how to get to the address you need, but you can't go in... you have a dog" At this point I was a little ...well ... not happy. But hey, the rules are the rules... even in a GARAGE!!!!

| ETA: Bringing a service dog in is a need, not a want. There would be a need to have an animal in the store. Be thankful you are lucky enough not to need to take a dog with you.

Would you take your dog into the Doctors office with you ? Would you take your dog into a Hospital with you ? Would you take your dog into an indoor Resuraunt with you or into a Lawyers office, or even a Bank ? I wouldn't.... Dogs... (other than a service animal) Do Not belong in stores or any other business that is not a designated animal friendly store, Sign or No Sign thats just common sense !

| When I used to work for Jamba Juice, people would try to bring their dogs in. We would tell them that animals are not allowed inside. If they want to order, we can take it outside, and bring their smoothies to them outside. For some reason a lot of people dont understand why we can't let them in with their dogs if they are only going to be there for 10 minutes. All I can tell them is that it's company rule.

| I dont understand the sense of entitlement some dog owners have.

| I may have misunderstood the original poster when she said ms. VIP, or she thought she was. I took that to mean the lady was coming across as snotty. Quote:
I hope this makes sense. I understand them allowing the service dogs in, and I wasn't saying they shouldn't. I'm saying that stores should be consistent. If I go to ross with my dog and have been doing it for 4 years and never had an employee or manager tell me it's a policy to not allow them in, or to have a manager or employee tell me yes, you can the dog in, then to have someone all of a sudden say you can't bring your dog in, it's our policy, it makes you scratch your head and wonder is it really their policy (since it's not posted anywhere that dogs aren't allowed) or is this person just having a bad day and taking it out on me and my pet, or hates dogs, or just is a mean person all around.... If the home depot in garland Texas allows it and even boasts a pet friendly stoe, then the home depot in Richardson Texas shouldn't say no, we don't allow dogs in the store. Especially in corporate owned stores. Franchises can make their own rules about their particular store.
