Reply to comment by Norgyort in Dogs in grocery stores. by Norgyort

I was in a Walmart a while back and there was a very elderly lady in a wheelchair behind me. With her elderly husband pushing her. She was sobbing uncontrollably and I asked what was wrong. She said that she is terrified of dogs. A dog had just come into the store and was jumping and barking uncontrollably. I went and told the manager about it and he said unfortunately he could do nothing about it.

This is probably my biggest pet peeve. No pun intended. Fake service animals and pets do not belong in grocery stores or department stores. I’ve been nipped at, barked at, seen dogs piss and shit on the floor, etc. Why do people think it’s OK for their dog to sit in a cart? Someone’s food is going to be in that cart later on. Some people are highly allergic to dogs, some are terrified of dogs, and surprise surprise some people just don’t like dogs. As far as I’m concerned, people who do this are just so entitled. And this isn’t something that has gone on forever. This is a relatively new thing, meaning the last 10 years or so. Edit to say that fake service dogs and pets absolutely don’t belong in restaurants.

I think people would be surprised what employers can get away with. I was blindsided and called into a meeting and accused of something I didn’t do. During that meeting a manager called me a bitch and brought up the fact that I go to counseling. The labor board said that there are no rules against that. They said that I could get a lawyer and address the counseling comment because it could be considered a disability (it isn’t). But they told me that even if anything came of it, nothing would happen to the employer.
