Oh my God, I just realized that everyone thinks I hate seeing eye dogs. No, I fully support accessibility for everyone. I just meant that I don't like seeing dogs in places they're not allowed.
I assumed this is what you meant.
Dogs in stores where I live is usually a case-by-case basis of places deciding to allow them or not. I've worked in places where the owners are very 'yay dogs!!!' but then you've got dumbasses literally putting their little dogs on the counter and their big (non-service) dogs licking random ankles. When I worked in an optometric office, some woman expected us to look after her dog during her exam. Ma'am, I have a fucking job to do. I also had two co-workers who were afraid of dogs but had to shut up and deal with random dogs constantly licking their ankles, or dumbasses dealing with their dog confronting another dog in the store.
Service dogs - hell yeah. Never dealt with an annoying service dog. Know why? They're licensed. Average dog owners think the world revolves around them, and they're annoying as hell. The mall did a trial where they tried allowing dogs in, but too many dogs took shits in the mall. I'd be fine with more dogs in stores if people knew how to train their dogs, but they don't, or they think they do.
