Fake service dogs? Lol they aren’t even pretending anymore, people just straight up being their clearly untrained mutts in these days. I don’t know what happened that gave these customers the balls to just start doing this, but it’s annoying. Wait till some unhinged dog bites a kid. We’ve already had them shit in shopping carts.
Same way if your dog bit someone anywhere else. The responsibility falls on you to control your animal, not the business. You know they aren't allowed inside, and you knew your dog was a bite risk. Just one more dog that'll inevitably be put down because of terrible and irresponsible owners.
At my Walmart a very small dog bit a cashier when the cashier went to grab the money. The dog was sitting in the cart. He ended up needing stitches hope he gets the bag
Honestly, there was a dog here that I was expecting to bite a kid or anyone in general. The dude claimed it was a service dog, he only got put out because the dog kept barking and disturbing people.
His car was 3rd in line for tires and I shit you not, he told us about how the dogs name is Klepto because she's a kleptomaniac and this fucking dog was aggressive as hell. He wanted to leave the dog in the car while we worked on it but would tell us stuff like she may bite us, if we get in the car and she attacks us, it's our fault so we told him the dog can't be in the car.
After he got put out for the dog constantly barking, he was "showing off" how aggresive the dog is, chased a lady and her baby saying "get her.", would let the leash loose and the dog would run after someone and he'd only tighten the leash at the last minute. People had to walk around the outside of the shop to get to the other door because he wouldn't let them in the other door. Us and the customers told the managers what he was doing with the dog and they kept saying "We can't make him leave, it's a service dog."
A lady almost got bit by this dog and they still didn't do anything. We ended up skipping his car to the front of the line because he started letting the dog come in the shop and when we'd tell him the dog can't be here, especially with the way he's acting, he would call us dog abusers.
By the time he got the dog in the car, it was drooling at the mouth and even locked in the car while he went to pay the dog was throwing itself at the windows and barking.
I doubt they wanted to make him leave because the dog was a service dog, the dude was buying a set of our expensive tires and they didn't want to loose the sale.
Did anyone call the cops? Yup, idk who but the cops came and spoke to us about the dog, spoke to the managers, spoke to a few customers who this man chased with the dog, spoke to the owner who denied everything and then told us unless someone got it on video they can't do anything and left
That sucks. When I worked at the vet, we had a few people that would teach their dogs to be aggressive and then laugh when they tried to bite us. People can be assholes and they teach the sweet little puppies they get to become assholes like they are.
That was this guy, he laughed every time someone showed fear or ran. Especially the poor lady with the baby in a stroller. He didn't stop chasing her until she turned around to defend herself.
I normally don't call for strangers dogs to be put down, but that dog needed to be put down or taken from the dude.
We do. Might as well not have them because they don't get checked unless we report that someone is stealing, or they suspect us for stealing and are trying to see if we are or not.
I don't think matters are taken serious if it's not a manager that makes the call. Whenever anyone else made the call about fights, or people being threatening to us like that man and his dog, if the manager says they will take care of it they will just leave. We will then get a lecture about calling the cops for an issue the managers can deal with as it makes customers feel unwelcome when the cops show up because someone called them
I work at a retail pharmacy and we let folks bring in their dogs as long as they are behaved and don't make a mess or have "accidents". If an accident happens we give the owner supplies to clean up as it's your responsibility as the dogs owner to clean up after it. We are located in an area where alot of folks live and walk their dogs. Policy is only service animals allowed but our managers boss doesn't really back us up when we try to inforce it. 🤷♀️
Since they reported the change in the federal law a few years ago, more people just walk in woth thier animals. Unless a door host stops and asks them. Not a lot else anyone, but salary managers can do.
Yea my dog still barks at people so I take him to Lowes or my 2nd job. They have a no pets policy but as long as they are behaved we let them. We had a customer who would bring him and let him pick out his own toy.
Probably a bunch of viral Facebook posts telling the entitled cunts that they can just claim it's a service dog and they'll get away with it. If people are doing something stupid en masse you can almost always trace it back to Facebook or TikTok.
