My local grocery store now has big ass signs on the door saying no dogs unless they’re actually real service animals like seeing eye dogs and that emotional support animals don’t count. I think they must be actually enforcing it too because it’s one of the few places I don’t see people’s fucking dogs running around. I love dogs, probably more than the average person, but they don’t belong in most stores especially because the overlap between people bringing their dogs into stores and the people who actually train their dogs is pretty small.
A lot of people don’t understand the difference between service dogs and ESAs, including store owners and employees.
The American with Disabilities Act does not include ESAs, and businesses in the US can prohibit them so long as there isn’t a local or state law stating otherwise.
