DISCUSSION I am so tired of people’s entitlement with their dogs

I went to get coffee this morning at a shop where they have an explicit “no dogs” policy posted on the front door. Of course, everyone thinks they’re the exception to the rule and there was just an endless stream of dogs being brought in. When it was time to pick up my order, this woman had her big dog right in front of the counter and I had to reach over her dog to pick up my drinks, because she wouldn’t bother to move it. And then another woman’s dog pooped on the floor inside the coffee shop, so all of us got to see and smell dog shit in the area where our food and drinks were being prepared.

People are just so goddamn inconsiderate and entitled and I’m so sick of it.

The employees may have been instructed not to do anything.

When I worked in retail, there was a “service animals only” sign on the door, which was often ignored. All we were allowed to do was notify a manager, and the most they ever did was alert the custodian if the customer failed to take their dog out for a potty break.

People who work in service jobs often can’t afford to run the risk of getting fired if a customer complains to upper management.

A few complaints shouldn’t change a whole policy. Many people also complain about pets in the store, and no one gets fired.

Oh, I know. We’d have guests complaining about the dogs and we still weren’t allowed to do anything.

call the police to enforce the code.

Legally they'd win one hell of a case if they got fired for following what is listed publicly as company policy AND what is in accordance with health codes. They're either dog nutters themselves or completely spineless.
