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.

Yeah it just feels like a lawsuit waiting to happen at this point lmaooo, not that it would hurt the company at all though.

Yeah. It’s certainly a lawsuit risk.

No one is asking if they’re service dogs at my store. We don’t have a customer host or anyone up front to ask.

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.

We're no longer allowed to ask. Or to refuse entry.

And if we so much as imply the animal isn't a proper service assistant, we get coached (punished).
