Here in California it is illegal to ask for proof that an animal is a service dog( vests are not proof), which leads to an inordinate amount of abuse. There are too many people that treat their dogs as children that they cannot not be without.

My dog is a support animal, and as such is not allowed to be in restaurants or grocery stores, only certified Service dogs and a very few other animals, yet I see all sorts of dogs in grocery stores, usually Chihuahuas, Pekingese and toy varieties of many breeds, which just creeps me out because a lot of people carry them and then handle food they don't purchase.

My local Home Defect is starting to really get out of hand with this. One day I thought I was in a pet store.

A few times my first stop was the plumbing aisle to grab a 2 foot 3/4” iron pipe nipple for protection. Just in case. Then on to other shopping.

One time a Shepard really started getting out of control but luckily the owner calmed him down.

The day is coming when we have regular attacks in stores.

The vast majority of men leave restrooms without washing their hands. (I have never made any observations in ladies’ washrooms, but I hear it’s the same.) I believe that the percentage of people who believe in germs is today about what it was in 1700.
