Hi, I'm a WM associate. While WM is dog friendly for customers, it is no longer for employees. Someone was bitten by an employee's dog a few years back which kinda messed up the deal for everyone else. Some store managers will turn a blind eye, but official company policy is no employee dogs.
At least that's how our DM explained it to me. Philip Emory Jones wrote: > Hi All, > > This will sound like a strange request, but here goes.
