My 2 cent is... The manager was rude. Yes I will write to complain. I think the op was treated poorly so she, as we all would do, wanted to get back. I would buy from a store again if I was treated rude... And word of month is the best tool to uses I do not see anything wrong in binging dogs into places that allow it, I would much rather see a pup than a mis behaved child, I have had many meals ruined by children that the parents do not control their child. When my children were little there were restaurants who would not allow children. I was. Little miffed but understood. The same is true foe my dog, as long as I understand or know the rules I will follow. But treat me with respect. |
I believe that the manager need to learn how to deal with customers in a more professional way... But... I also believe that animals (other than service animals) have no place being in any store for any reason. With the exception of pet stores who allow it. It's just not right... sign or no sign. WHen I saw that our town was getting a Pet Supplies Plus Pet Store I was very excited, we go a few times a year with the dogs. :animal36 |

Understand I understand your frustration, but many people have children that have allergies to dogs and some bad pet owners allow their pets to urinate in the stores. Also some people are afraid of dogs. I agree with the store. Just don't take your pet in stores that don't want pets. |
(just playing devil's advocate here) Uhhhh dog's fly on airplanes (an enclosed space with only recirculated air) and the airlines say TOO BAD about those with allergies because (some study somewhere it was said) being in direct contact with a person covered in dog allergens is just as detrimental as being in direct contact with the dog...so the allergies thing is kind of mute in reality... I'm odd on this one I;m not allergic to dog neither are my children but non-hypoallergenic dogs (the breeds with heavy dander) freak out our allergies so several family members mock me bringing my dogs places with me or just having them and then saying we can't go to their houses unless we've taken allergy meds prior... |

I agree 100% .... I think that to encourage others to boycott a business just because you cant take your pooch in their store or because the manager was load and unprofessional is taking it way out of proportion ! |
We can try to understand that many people like to conduct business without people bringing in their wild and jumping dogs and therefore to be fair, have to outlaw all dogs. I, for one, would not go into a business that has dogs in it if the dogs aren't in carriers or in the arms of the owner. I have a very bad back and just the slightest jumping up on my legs by even a midsize dog can cause 2 days of misery - and I love dogs! I live and breathe dogs! But I prefer to keep away from stores that welcome them as so many people simply cannot control their own pets! And some don't even keep them clean! Ugh! Don't encourage hurting someone's earning a living because they are trying to keep it civil for all. But they should be nice about it when explaining their rules as we should about accepting them or personally going elsewhere. |

The OP didnt ask for an over all boycott. I will not return to the store and sense it happened to ME. I will choose for ME. I did ask "if you were so inclined" to write BB and tell them how you felt. I have even stated that you can write in support of BB. |

Lets face it, your dog did not want to go to Blockbusters, you wanted to take her there. Also, just because they are little and cute is not fair to someone that loves their huge dog. They want their big dog with them too. Where do you draw the line? |
Excuse me,but you werent there when I put a harness on my dog and walked out the door with her. She begs to go with me everytime I leave the house. Loves the car,loves the people and loves everywhere she goes. The issue is that the rules had changed sense my last visit and I was yelled at. If the rules had not changed then there would not of been a problem. Do NOT presume to know,this is not an opinion but a presumption that my dog may not enjoy going. Also I own a 70lb dog and although I would love to take him places he actually does not enjoy outing and therefore does stay home. I draw the line at restaurants,although there is one here that my dog is welcome. Actually invited by the owners to visit anytime that she wishes.I draw the line at grocery stores because they have open food in the way of meats and vegetables. If you are going to respond then give your opinion not a presumption that you have knowledge that you do not have. If your opinion is that dogs should not go to public places,then just state that. Dont presume. |

If the sign says "no pets allowed" why did you even bring your dog in? Doesn't that open you up to having you feelings hurt if they ask you to leave? Think the sign doesn't mean your dog? I am amazed at those that think the rules are for others to follow, but not for them. |
First the sign was NEW, I had been in that store more than once a month for more than 5 years,with NO problem. Second the sign did NOT say "no pets allowed" it said "service animals welcome" and I didn't see it because it was NEW. The service animal posting usually gives the manager lea way,instead she chose to yell at me to inform me that I could no longer bring my dog in. As for my feelings,they are not injured. You were being presumptious not giving your opinion. |

Did a DR. ever tell you that you were disabled? Tell you that a service dog would be benefical to you because your condition is so severe that you are not able to leave home without the extra support? Are you currently collecting disability benefits? I ask you these questions because just deciding yourself that your disabled is not enough . It takes more then a dog who can perform a couple of things to be consdered a "service animal" PLus, physically or mentally , a Dr. has to agree that you are disabled and a service dog is needed . If not then YES, you are abusing the ADA . I actually have a variety of illness's , and are 100% disabled, unable to work . My Dr. did agree a service dog would be beneficial for myself . I also have a son with autism and cognitive delays. We have 2 small service dogs. Evenso I do not bring them with me all the time. Despite having difficulties when going out, I prefer the help of a family member. I have my hands full already then to bring a dog into the picture. I could if i wanted to easily though. As far as the OP , Yes I agree that management needed to handle this with a lot more professionalism . However, I do not think that it is ok for a pet owner to think that they can bring a dog into a store just because they have done it before many times without nobody questioning it. I think it was a matter of time that someone said something. The OP could of responded with a little more grace, and just left the store. Most places do not allow dogs into their store. Not in the United States. |
Ever wonder why stores ask you to leave if you have your dog? Shouldn't they ask you to please take you dog out?... and please come back...just without your dog? |
