A friend of mine used to work at Ralphs supermarket. She told me once that they cannot ask anyone if the dog they bring in is a service dog or not. There was a woman who went in once and my friend just commented on the dog being cute, not asking if he was a service dog, and she snapped "He's my seeing eye dog". It was a chihuahua. Come on now. But she said it was against the law to ask for proof, and the dog didn't wear any type of vest or tag.

Another time I was in a 99cent store and there was a lady with a pom in a vest. He tried to bite me as I walked by. I really doubt he was a real service animal. I've never seen one that misbehaved.
