I'm sure he'll be fine. But it's only natural to worry.
Aw, thank you! I'm very proud of him.He's beautiful.
He certainly is!He's beautiful.
Yeah. If she had said yes without pausing to think, I'd have been suspicious but I also would have thought there was a strong chance it was an emotional support animal. They don't get the same legal protections when it comes to access to businesses, but I am not going to tell someone with panic attacks to remove the animal that calms them. Even a dog, if someone said it was an ESA, I'd have just said "Don't let it poop on the floor, and tell the next person it's a service animal."
The way she said yes, she was lying. She was busted, she knew it, and she spent a few seconds trying to think of the downside of saying yes. Sad part, I know the law, I know I could have asked one more question, I could have legally asked her what it was trained to do. Good luck with improvising a lie for that question. I couldn't ask for proof or a demonstration, but the question itself is hard to answer if you aren't prepared. But I'm very low on the totem pole and I'm not sure the managers do know we can do that, and I didn't want to deal with a customer complaint against me if the managers thought I broke the law.

He really needs a bath right now, but it's going to have to wait till the pneumonia clears up.
When I worked at Walmart, I was told that only the greeter could ask about service animals. If the person said yes, that was that. I still remember the woman with the dachshund. She was holding it because it didn't have a leash, and she didn't appear to have any physical issues. If it was for an emotional problem, she was doing a remarkable job of hiding it. I couldn't say anything. I could only smile, say good morning, and move on.Someone brought in a dog at work. Sitting in the shopping cart. I asked the woman "Is this a service animal?" She looked at me like she was busted, said "uhhhhhhh" and then said, kinda hesitant, "Yes". It was so very obviously a lie, but legally I couldn't do anything.
I hope Puddles or whatever its name is bites her. Hard. Lying about a disability just to keep a pet in your shopping cart when it should have stayed home in the first place is lower than a snake's belly.
Stupid policy. One of the dogs that I did get kicked out, the woman was yelling really loudly at me about how several other employees saw the dog and no one said anything and therefore it wasn't an issue. Everyone being on the same page reduces that entitlement/"someone's picking on me" mindset. And as you said smaller dogs can be smuggled past the person at the door.When I worked at Walmart, I was told that only the greeter could ask about service animals.
You should bring it up at the next meeting. Ask your manager if you can ask the proper questions with the company's approval.Yeah.

Sorry, I didn't remember that I hadn't explained that.Blakeney Green What's wrong with Froggy? From your posts, it sounds like there's an underlying problem causing the pneumonia.
