They will probably ask you to leave. I went to a Duane Reade drugstore recently with Sophie during one of our walks. Even though I was holding her, the security guard told me no dogs allowed. I told him I would only be a minute to buy some baby wipes for her and that I would hold her and not put her down (which was my intention anyway). He still said no, but the store manager was standing nearby and heard me. I was surprised that the manager said yes, I could come in. On my way out after making the purchase, the security guard apologized to me...even though he was RIGHT to tell me I couldn't bring her in...but I told him it was OK, he was just doing his job. I don't know about your municipality, but dogs are usually not allowed in any establishment that sells food...and Duane Reade sells packaged food items (cookies, candies, and the like). I know I shouldn't have tried to get around the rules, but no harm done. So nothing bad will happen, you'll just be asked to leave. |
