Had a woman come up to me at work today loudly asking about if a wallet had been turned in, and I told her I didn't know, but if it had, it'd be at the customer service desk. As she turned away to go there (with no "Thank you", of course), I finally noticed she was carrying a little white dog under her arm (not very good with breeds, but one of those "Fancy Feast"-looking pooches that spoiled celebrities are always toting around). A few moments later, she walked by me with said wallet in her hands, rooting around in it and loudly grousing to no one in particular about making sure that no money had been removed. I later went through the self-check line after my shift, to find a fellow employee cleaning one of the registers and complaining about the woman just plonking her dog right there on the conveyor belt...you know, the place where people's FOOD usually goes?
God's sake, people, LEAVE YOUR DOGS AT HOME. Unless you're taking them to the vet or for walkies in the park, there's no reason a dog should accompany you everywhere you go. And while it's nice she didn't leave the poor pooch locked in her car (it wasn't an especially hot or humid day, but still), that doesn't give you the right to bring your dirty animal into a place that sells food for human consumption. We make exceptions for well-behaved service animals, of course (there's this one lady who comes in all the time with a lovely yellow lab who's in training for a life in the service dog industry), but few things make me as annoyed as people who feel the need to have Man's Best Friend at their side at all freaking times.
