I used to work downtown Seattle Nordstrom...I would get the biggest kick out of all the little 4-legged shoppers! I would crack up when I would see dog's with their nail's polished, 'I would say only at Nordstrom'!
I have taken Rocco inside my purse(I just buy 'shopper'style purses) into the mall...as long as it is a short trip, not a problem. My 3 month Bella is a monster...NO WAY will I take her anywhere right now!
I have also taken Rocco into Wal-mart, but I stay out of the food section...no problem.
Costco is not tolerant to pets, I didn't try sneaking Rocco in, I asked.
Ross Dress 4 Less in Kent, Longview, Puyallup and Tacoma have welcomed Rocco, too. I usually lay him in the cart on a blanket.
TJ Maxx in Tacoma has been cool, too. As well as Lowe's & Home Depot & McLendon's.
Boy, except for Safeway & Target those are all the places I shop! I got kicked out of the Union Street Target in Tacoma a few weeks ago with Bella, then age 8 weeks, who was sleeping in a baby blanket. They were soooo rude. I read someone's post about their experience and I think someone needs to talk to Target about how they handle these situations. Rudeness isn't a form of customer service.
