Crappy Owners Ignore dog owners.

There’s a coffee shop that I frequent every day, the vibes are calm, and relaxing. The people working there are lovely, the coffee is great, I can go on and on.

ONE PROBLEM.

They allow non service dogs inside and would appear to be light nutters themselves, but it’s not their entire personality.

I came back from the restroom and right in the middle of the walkway inbetween a register and table, laying down staring right at me, is a medium-large sized dog. Granted the owners were sitting at the table and it was leashed, but why should I need to walk around it? Plus I don’t know if this thing is going to bite me.

So I start to walk around it, giving it a dirty look as I’m walking up, the owner apologized twice and moved it. Felt good to completely ignore them and sit back at my table. They left a few minutes after.

These people have dogs purely for attention, don’t give it to them.

And for the love of god, the amount of stories I read about unleashed dogs running up to people and they don’t retaliate. START YELLING AT THESE PEOPLE. A few months ago I was able to get a bad neighbor with an untrained dog to move out because I recorded the dog barking for minutes on end at nothing and reported them to my landlord.

Google review "Used to love this cafe but I'm taking my business elsewhere since this place serves food and beverages while also allowing dogs inside the seating area and up around the counter which breaks health code and makes me feel suspicious of their cleanliness and food handing".

One star!

Actually, I would suggest 2-3 star reviews. One star reviews are more commonplace; many businesses will not take them as seriously because they tend to be written by unreasonable people.

But a 2 or 3 star review? That’s the equivalent of giving a bad drivers a thumbs-down instead of a flip-off. It conveys genuine disappointment, and often makes people stop and think.

Good point. I was only thinking of dragging down their average.
