Oooh... that reminds me of a pet peeve I may have already mentioned and it's about pets.
- People who bring their tiny dogs into stores/malls/restaurants/whatever claiming they are service dogs.
They even have vests on them indicating they are "therapy dogs". As far as I know, "therapy dogs" aren't covered under the "service dog" umbrella. I see managers struggle with trying to tell someone that pets aren't allowed and quite often they look the other way to not get caught in some angry exchange but they can ask 2 specific questions:
? Is the dog required because of a disability?
? What task or service has the dog been trained to do?
Usually, the people faking it can't answer one or both of those to satisfaction.
I like dogs just as much as qwerlupa, but don't abuse the rules just because you didn't want to leave YoQuieroTacoBell at home.
Sorry... I have to bring this up again.
Lately, I've been seeing more and more people bringing their dogs into places they shouldn't. Just the other day, a couple had a dog with them at a restaurant. Looked like a chihuahua and was wearing one of those vests... but the couple was young and neither looked like they had a disability. And both of them got up to go to the bathroom leaving the dog with the other. So if it's a service dog, what service was it for? A waitress even petted the dog.
I guess I really don't have the right to complain as I don't confront anyone I see doing this but that's what the Internet is for.
