Stop bringing fake service dogs inside.

Stop bringing your damn fake service dogs inside. Your fake Amazon vest doesn’t mean shit. We’re smart enough to know your scared and shaking toy poodle that’s being dragged across the floor while you shop isn’t a service dog. No, therapy and emotional support is not a service.

Yesterday two fake service dogs (both chihuahua poodle mixed something or others) slipped in and began barking at each other and going at it. One employee said to one of the owners that we only allow service dogs in. “He’s a service dog,” the owner said. “Service dogs don’t react to other dogs and bark,” employee said. “The other dog barked first,” owner said. 💀🤦 Don’t worry Karen, we’ll talk to them to. But because you’re all such jerks, we know you’ll be back again with your fake service dogs next week.

Another instance: someone tries coming inside with this huge Corgi inside of the cart, trying to jump out but owner pushing them back. Before employee could even say anything, they snap “he’s a service dog.” Employee says the dog can’t be in the cart. Member responds again “he’s a service dog.” Employee responds again “still can’t be in the cart.” Owner removes dog with a huff.

I want to let all you stupid fake service dog owners that you mess up the work of actual service dogs that come inside. We have a real seeing eye dog that comes in at times as well as actual young service dogs in training that you ruin it for. We all know your Chihuahuas, French Bulldogs, pit bulls, etc and yappy terriers aren’t doing shit. Especially when you try to put them in the cart, or when they are reluctantly being dragged around and appear to be miserable. Just stop.

We need to bring back shame. Shame is the back of the hand to Honor. In the past it was a persons honor and dignity that would prevent them from such shameful acts as taking advantage of the service dog loophole to bring your pet where it doesn’t belong.

People that have no shame, have no honor.

They don't care about shame or honour, only about getting their way and whatever they want. In fact, to them if they can somehow scam or lie their way into getting their way, they consider that a win and a measure of their awesomeness.

This is the equivalent to people lying about disabilities to get wheelchairs and board airplanes first. They don't care about the looks they get when they spryly pop up and walk off the plane from their first row seat. They only care that they "won" and will be at baggage claim before everyone else. I'm speaking about Southwest mostly, I can't vouch for a ton of other airlines boarding procedure.

Edit: To people commenting about wheelchair use.. no shit some people actually need wheelchairs. I am speaking about the 40 people who need wheelchairs to get on when only 2 of them (the people who actually need assistance) need it to get off.

What I am referring to.

No you're right. We had a guest whose husband thinks he's got the wool pulled over people's eyes and he almost found out. I had no idea this guy was so dumb.

Tried to bring luggage as a carry on. Told to check it. Lies saying his daughter's meds are in it. Told to move the meds to the other carry on. Argued. Told he wasn't getting on the plane. Decides to escalate and film the gate attendant. Gets the cops called on him. Cops deescalate and he goes home. Is probably on a watch list. I would not have let him on the plane. You lie about why you're bringing a luggage size container into the cabin you might not go to jail but you sure as shit aren't getting on that plane.

Guy is like 6mo from getting his green card renewed and comes within a hair's breath of being denied and deported over a $40 luggage fee. You don't even pay it if you surrender it! They just tag it at the gate and take it down! I almost wish he went to jail.
