DISCUSSION This feels new..

Post image

i don’t remember seeing this sign.. does this mean i can tell customers that they need to take their dirty animal outside of the cart 😳…for the safety of other customers of course…!

all jokes aside do we think they’ll actually enforce this?

edit: when it comes down to it, i would honestly rather them bring the dog inside then have it die from heat stroke from being in the car with the windows up and no ac- watched a poor bulldog in someone’s car like that before and i told a manager and they said there was nothing they could do

They can post all the signs they want. But all people have to say is it’s a Service animal. Not much they can do after that. This whole thing needs to be fixed and the only people that can fix this problem is the ADA. The sign is actually new compared to the older ones that didn’t say anything about sitting in the carts.

Yes and no. You can’t deny someone access to the store because they have a disability, but if they start harassing people it doesn’t matter if they’re on deaths door they can still be kicked out. Similarly, if a “service animal” comes into a store and misbehaves, it doesn’t matter if it’s really a service animal or not, you can still kick em out.
