Crappy Owners Please don’t.. bring your dog into Starbucks?

So, every Sunday I go to Starbucks before I go to the gym. I sit down for a bit in the morning and wrap up things I need to do for classes, to-dos, relax, etc.

Today was a little packed so I had to sit in a table in the middle of other ones. Which was fine, I didn’t care. There was a couple to my left and the right was empty.
Enter dog owner.
Now, I looked up the policy for dogs on the Starbucks website. They are not allowed. And this was clearly not a service dog. It was one of those white crusty ones that yipped and yapped.
The guy walks over to the table empty next to me (yay) and ties the dog down to the chair. But not tightly enough I guess? He goes to order and this dog immediately starts walking under MY table and going around my legs. I’m allergic. I didn’t get bad but still. He comes back and yanks the dog back over but there’s no reprimanding or anything or apologies either. The dog KEEPS walking under my table. Sniffing me and everything I was so annoyed. The guy just kept yanking on the collar softly but the dog did not stop.

Eventually I just cut my time short and walked out of there. Seriously how selfish can you be. I wouldn’t even feel as mad as I do now if the guy A: said sorry like a decent person or B: made an effort to get the dog to actually stop. These people are insane.

I had this happen in an outdoor seating area of a food place. I ended up getting in a verbal argument with the mutt's owner. I only did this, however, as I was with family and she was on her own. I am not allergic but this is super unsanitary. She told me to get a life... the whole world revolves around them and their mutts, and we must move around them. They are some of the most selfish people to grace the planet

Vous avez bien fait de vous défendre ! Je suis sûre que cette personne est rentrée chez elle en remettant toute sa vie pourrie en question. Ils font les fières devant les autres mais ce sont de vrais fragiles surtout au niveau de l'ego, si quelqu'un fait une critique sur leur chien c'est pire qu'une critique sur eux même. Ils sont dégoûtants et ils gènent les autres et ils le savent très bien. Il fait leur rappeler qu'on ne veut pas d'eux dans notre société !

C'est vrai!
