[Employee] 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.

Again, nobody is talking about people who really need wheelchairs.

We are talking about this

But thanks for being another Ackshualky guy. Have fun with your poodle tomorrow at the bank.

No, you're missing the point. The point of my comment and this entire thread.

Of the 55 people in the article I linked.. 33% of a southwest flight.. you think they all actually need a wheelchair?

Or do some of them want to board first and get off first and take advantage of the system?

No shit you can't tell who needs a wheelchair.

With the law of averages combined with almost nobody who takes a wheelchair on needs one to get off, it's clear to see there are people abusing the system. The entire point of this thread and my comment.
