I've brought mine into lots of small (locally owned) shops. I put him in one of my big purses and most of the time he just takes a nap and no one even knows he's there. Whenever he does stick his head out, I've had people ask if he's real, haha, and employees want to pet him but I've never been told to leave. I think it makes a difference if it's a big national chain or a smaller shop. I live in a small town and have been allowed to take him inside restaurants, as long as he stays in my purse. |
