Well here we go again. My favorite Walmart to dislike. Was out of milk and cereal so I decided to run in and get a few items. Time maybe 4 pm or there abouts. I am standing in line (what else is new) and from behind this obese woman with two NOT ONE TWO unruly dogs has one scare the living crap out of me. It came from behind so i had no idea of what was coming at me and I actually yelled from fright. The dogs were on long leashes and the leashed were wrapped around one another almost like a braid. Literally freaked me out. Then when I made mention of the incident the cashier said we allow service dogs. QUOTE: Service Dogs my ass UNQUOTE. The woman had two out of control dogs on long leashes. THE SERVICE DOG is getting to be total BS. People with dogs should be ticketed and made to pay a find if they bring their mutts into a public place and are not in control of them. DOGS DO NOT BELONG IN ANY TYPE OF food store. There are enough germs going around without the fleas, ticks and what ever else these animals carry. I almost wonder why anyone that manages any kind of food store allows this kind irresponsible behavior. I personally thing the store as well as the owners of the pets should be fined. Unless someone is blind I really do not see a dog being a service dog and even then most blind people have someone to help them shop. The bloated woman that has nothing to do but drag her mutts around need to be told that it is their pet and that people without pets have rights also. This is the worse Walmart store ever.
FYI - Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person's disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.
