I work at a grocery store. From what I understand, the main reason why dogs (or any pet) are not allowed in the store is because it is a health code violation. The dog could potentially be carrying a disease and/or contaminate products by using the bathroom in the store. I personally have no problem if a customer comes in with a small dog in a carrier. However I have had several customer complaints about stuff like that. I totally agree that people can be dirtier than animals LOL.
One time, a rather dirty looking man in a wheelchair came in with about *3* dirty looking matted dogs (samoyed's?). They were big dogs, too. I told my manager but it turns out that guy used all three dogs as service dogs. They were so dirty... doesn't make any sense :\ We actually have a guy that comes in all the time with a dog because he trains seeing eye dog puppies. He's cool though and is clean, LOL. I'm always trying to figure out places where I can bring Daisy along. Thanks to whoever started this thread. -Amanda-
