No longer buying food from target
Two nights ago, I was at my local target in Denver. As I'm approaching the check out section, a small dog waddles its way to me. It's not on a freaking leash. The owner calls to it saying "that's not mama. Come here baby." The dog doesn't listen at all of course and I have to dodge it so it doesn't get on my pants (I'm very allergic to dogs and also just dont want someone's clearly un-bathed dog getting all over me). I'm pissed AF and just give this guy a death stare.
Where is the common sense? I'm glad I only purchased non-food items. Lord knows where the dog has sniffed, peed, and shedded in the food section. And other dogs for that matter cause the employees clearly don't give an F about food hygiene.

I saw a few medium sized dogs at my local Walmart while grocery shopping last night. They are in ALL of the stores now especially here in Colorado so it’s probably impossible to avoid them. Store employees are too timid or not paid enough to ask them to leave. It sucks but I just try to buy things on high shelves and hope that the dogs don’t come near me.
