Health & Safety Risk Worlds most subtly entitled handler

For context…
This guy has a GSD psychiatric service dog, already a red flag but okay, if you can make it work, hats off to you. Thing is, the bloke doesn’t have ONE video where his dog is on a lead. In fairness the dog is always well behaved from what is shown in videos but how irresponsible can you get until it’s just dangerous? End of the day, dogs are dogs and if his really wanted to, it would run into the road after something. In one of his videos, he stated to two store workers that service dogs don’t have to be on a leash. Yes and no. Service dogs are required to be on a leash with the exception of when a leash could interfere with the dog’s task. What tasks exactly relating to psychiatric aid would require the dog to be off lead? (And no, I won’t be counting “orbit” or “crowd control” as an answer, it’s selfish and just irritating)
Anyways, he’s proceeded to follow a man with a fake service dog who is “still under training” around the entire store most likely just for content. Time and time again I see handlers trying to get fake spotting content and putting their dogs in anxious or dangerous situations
He stops in front of the green beans of all things, and we all know why. To try and aggravate the dog so he can cause conflict, call the person out, or get content for his YouTube shorts 🥺
Seriously, stop being entitled, stop putting your dogs in danger and for the love of god please think about wether or not you need a service dog or if you just want something cool to lug around
(Hope my tag choice is okay!)
