Okay so here’s the thing. I certainly don’t get paid enough to police people. I’m not about to interrogate a customer that’s not causing problems for anyone. The customer wore a mask and didn’t pose any issue to the COMPLETELY EMPTY cafe.

I’ve had to get upper management involved to issue a trespass against a regular that brought in his service animal in the past (complete with a vest, to ease your concern), let her shit on the cafe floor daily, and did nothing when she barked at other customers- once directly in a small child’s face. THAT was an issue. When the child’s parent reprimanded the dude, he responded with threats of violence and a lawsuit. THAT is endangering people. That situation would cause issues for someone relying on an actual service animal.

The dog in this photo was perfectly behaved, didn’t shit on my floor, and sat next to his owner while she waited 3 minutes for her drink. Any and all risk was entirely eliminated when I washed my hands after petting him and returned to my admin work.

I completely understand your very valid points but good lord, go pee in someone else’s Cheerios.

Lmao could not imagine being this annoying. It's a dog that's in there for 2 seconds. If he distracts your service dog get better training. And anyways, they could easily lie and say it's a service dog.
