I hear you. And I would never not allow ...Vashti,<br /><br />I hear you. And I would never not allow a person to go without food as we never know a person's circumstances, but we have many that abuse the system. There are regulars who come in the store to eat free lunch daily. <br /><br />As far as the dog is concerned, he was in the store again with the guy, but this time the guy was careful to take him down the isle to feed him due to the uproar last week.<br /><br />Parents do let their kids run loose all the time and they run in front of carts, etc. I stop it when I can can and ask then to please not run in the store and ask them where their parents are. Most times parents are so oblivious to any situation concerning their kids. And there's a sign at the entrance asking parents to control their kids at all times. Nothing seems to be enforced unless a shopper throws a fit about it.<br /><br />I agree that people should be considerate of others but I'm afraid we see the worst of human kind at work. This is unfortunate, but it sure opens your eyes.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.<br /><br />SunniSunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671891696662548892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106218623971866390.post-54993857234150116442016-06-02T11:43:43.621-06:002016-06-02T11:43:43.621-06:00First I must say that the owner/handler of a servi...First I must say that the owner/handler of a service animal is not required by law to present any certification and it is against United States Federal Law to discriminate against service dogs or their owners. That being said, there are always people who take advantage of any situation. I have a relative who has an emotional service dog (she suffers from bipolar depression among other emotional problems), but she is careful where she takes her dog and her dog is very well mannered and always by her side or in her arms. I've noticed a huge difference in my relative since she got the service dog, so I have no doubt that emotional service dogs do help and are legit. People need to take responsibility and use common sense. A service dog should always be near its owner and never let lose to run around a store. <br />As far as the older man abusing his sampling privileges, I have to say, never deny anyone food, because you never know what that person is going through at the moment, especially an older person living on a fix income. However, the store can establish rules regarding how many samples a person can have in a day, and if the service animal is not behaving appropriately someone of authority could have a word with the owner of the animal in a professional manner. I've seen this type of behavior from many people without service dogs. I actually think there's a bigger problem with parents allowing their kids to run wild in stores, touching everything and knocking things down. People just need to be more responsible and more considerate of others.Vashtiqvega43https://www.blogger.com/profile/16857598955829160578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106218623971866390.post-74145876111249186132016-06-01T21:39:40.643-06:002016-06-01T21:39:40.643-06:00Liz,

They shouldn't make it so easy for the public to obtain these vests for their animals. They take advantage of a system that's designed to help the people who really need it.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.<br /><br />SunniSunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671891696662548892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106218623971866390.post-70658496606287654572016-06-01T21:36:07.275-06:002016-06-01T21:36:07.275-06:00John,

I think this situation was a man eating and feeding his dog. He comes in often too. I do object to that and so do some of the shoppers who can see right through this little escapade he has going on.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and your comment.<br /><br />SunniSunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671891696662548892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106218623971866390.post-91365611923204124862016-06-01T21:31:50.734-06:002016-06-01T21:31:50.734-06:00Betty,

I know people who have legitimate need of a service dog, and many others who train service dogs, but from what you're saying these people are neither and just went to Petsmart and bought a "service dog" jacket so they can bring their dog everywhere and take advantage of the hospitality.

I don't think a service animal would eat on the job. I know the legit ones I have seen in public have a vest and usually something else like dont pet them since they are working, etc. I just think more people want to bring their dogs with them so they pass them off as service ones.<br /><br />Bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
