I was annoyed when I approached a small pet store in my area on Friday night. All of the staff was outside surrounding the front entrance smoking cigarettes. There is a 3 meter rule here, where you must be 3 meters away from the door. So, my 3 kids and I (and Missy), had to walk through their smoke to get into the store. When they were done their cigarettes they all came up to me and started petting Missy with their smokey hands! They didn't even ask. I was upset.

I know that I'm overprotective, but still...shouldn't pet store employees know to ASK before petting someone's 11 week old puppy?
