Saying your dog is a service dog when he isn't doesn't prevent actual service dogs from entering the store. Yes, if millions of people start lying about it, it could be a problem, but I don't see that happening now.
This is not the same, but two of the parks I take Thor to have very clear signs saying "No Dogs Off Leash". Of the dozens of dogs in the park, how many are leashed? That would be zero.
There are different levels of social contract. For instance, I strongly believe you should always pick up your dog's poop, because even one poop makes the park less pleasant for everyone. I'm not going to lose sleep about taking a small, quiet dog in a carrier into a store, though.
Anyway, I don't want to hijack this thread, so I will only talk about purses henceforth, I swear.
