I agree to a point with you. But a Great Dane could not be in a carrier or a stroller. I think that it is entirely different if the dog isn't going to touch the floor.
I asked at Wegmans last night while I was shopping. They have rule signs posted on the door about having to wear shoes and stuff like that...but there was no "no dogs" sign...so I went to the service desk and asked. I told the girl that when I go shopping, my dog (4 lbs.) is usually with me...and could I bring her in with me instead of leaving her in the car, if she is in a carrier and never touches the floor. That was a lie...actually I would just like to be allowed to bring her...and I would never leave her in the car. The girl had to call her manager b/c nobody had ever asked her that question before (I find that surprising). And the manager said "no" becuase it's against the law for health reasons. Now...mind you...I can't believe that's true b/c I've seen seeing-eye-dogs in there. It may be the store policy...but it couldn't be against the law. I'm not really mad about it...I understand that businesses have rules. It just annoyed me that they couldn't just tell me that it is store policy and not make up some bogus law!
