A friend of mine postulated that maybe they’re doing it for the meme now. In this economy? I doubt it.

Here’s what I can tell you. In my orientation to start working my retail location, part of our training was how to handle non-service dogs, and our directions were basically skirting around a message that essentially amounted to “if they argue, there’s nothing you can do”. We’re not legally allowed to touch guests, not even if we’re watching them walk out the doors with a television they haven’t paid for. We also are told not to call the police to handle an animal that’s not doing anything, because the police can sometimes escalate benign situations.

Also, for the record: I have had to clean up human shit from in front of the guest services desk at my workplace at 8 in the morning. Literally minutes after we opened our doors. So forgive me if I seem dismissive of your argument that dogs are more gross than humans.

Besides allergens and physical makeup, there is little difference between a toddler and a dog. Your position is inconsistent, and my conclusion is that you really just personally don’t wanna see dogs in stores and you’re cherry-picking parts of legitimate arguments not because they’re important to you, but because they’re convenient for you.

If you really want these rules enforced, send your complaints to Walmart or Delhaize, not Reddit. S’not gonna happen on current wages and benefits.

The point is that if you’re making this argument, you should agree that 1. we should consider having similar legal constraints in place for young children and 2. that employees of these establishments should be incentivized to take the risk enforcing existing laws, which they are not.

Kids pick their nose, suck their thumb and then fondle the grapes, pal.

10 bucks says that 18 year old is a 4chan white nationalist based on no information but his age and place of origin.

Is this prejudice? Yes. But I grew up with this shit. White nationalism is on the rise in rural maine, even among its children. I’m pretty confident in my bet.

Someone in this thread blocked me for saying I’m neither paid nor treated well enough to take the kind of heat an unruly dog owner (or a Karen) would give me. Which is pretty funny.

I wonder how many retail employees they think are willing to risk injury or death for r/dogfree.

Or maybe our workplace should incentivize us more to take heat from entitled guests. Like owners of unruly dogs. Or you.

If service dogs are fine, then why do you keep bringing up that people are allergic to dogs like it’s a valid reason to keep them out of stores? It’s not like being a service dog makes you stop spreading allergens.

Hey, I work in a grocery store where dogs are sometimes around. The worst they do is sniff clothes that aren’t even being worn by people. People, on the other hand…

I think most people detected the sarcasm. They’re probably like me and thought the joke was a bit tasteless. Especially when a friend of the deceased is in the comments section.

I think it’s really funny that you’ve stopped being the “google it” guy and are now the “I googled it” guy

FINISH THE BUT, COWARD

When I was growing up, there was a house next door to my grandparents with a completely flat roof. The people who lived there didn’t stay for the winter. I sometimes wonder if they ever came back to unexpected disasters. That house was torn down in favor of one with normal sloped roofing, so I have to assume something prompted that decision.

…there are both, and one doesn’t necessitate the other

I’ve known plenty of drug addicts with apartments and I’ve known homeless who are clean and sober

Also sometimes clean homeless people start using because reality is so unkind that they’d kill themselves if they had to keep hacking it sober

Like I like and can relate to most of what you said but that last thing kinda hurt the message

This has been on my mind for awhile. I’m pretty sure the answer is “yes, and you thank your lucky stars you’re in one of the places people are fleeing to rather than from”.

My best friend has been encouraging me to leave the state. I’ve been telling him things like “it’s not my time yet,” “my mother needs me”, “I want more life experience”… but really, it’s because I don’t want to be stuck on a warmer (now or later) part of the planet when the place I left is projected to handle climate change better than most anywhere else—in the world, not just the country.

lol good shit

Hatchet Mountain in Hope is good for 1. a view of the Camden Hills and 2. exploring an abandoned telephone tower.

Light a candle for ya tonight bro

This is from years ago at this point, and it wasn’t even accurate then. Weakest govt influence in Idaho? Try smoking a fucking joint or two on your front porch and see how long it takes to get a visit from law enforcement. Also, ugliest residents? lol.

Whoever made this either set out to annoy people, or really did think they have it all figured out.

lolmao

lol

Yeah, it’s, like, a farming tool. For cutting cane or squash stems. It’s not really a luxury item.

lmao
