So I got a job working at a store and I typically work super early hours before too many customers come in. But of course with Christmas time coming, the store is opening earlier and I'm staying later (whoopie :/). Well, I didn't have any issues because unlike some other places around where I work, at least I'd never seen a dog in my store.
Until today. I got back from my break and saw the rear end up a HUGE ugly as hell german sheperd in one of the aisles. Immediately I was shocked because I was sure dogs weren't even allowed in the building. So I went to find the store manger but he was dealing with a customer. Meanwhile this dog owner was taking her filthy mutt all through the store. And when I saw her she was right next to the children's toys! I wasn't trying to get too close to the thing, but I hope that mutant wasn't putting it's nasty nose, paws, or ass near the toys. First of all, I am always the one who is cleaning and straightening up the toy area and I do NOT want to touch anything a dog has been near. It could have gotten dander or drool anywhere. Second, parents are constantly giving their children toys to look at. The entire time I was thinking how any of those toys could have been contaminated by that mutt.
Finally I got to the manger and told him about this. I asked, "Are people allowed to have dogs in the store?" and he asked "Was it like a service dog?". I said it had no vest on so he went off to find the owner, but as far as I'm aware he never tracked her down. But since he asked specifically, I'm assuming regular dogs aren't allowed in the store (though if you ask me NO dogs should be in the building), meaning as usual, and entitled mutt owner just brought her stupid pet dog into a store for no damn reason.
And ya'll, I could smell this thing through my mask and I had already walked away from the beast at that point. The thing stunk up an entire section of the damn store, and probably any other spot she dragged it. Why do people do this? This is beyond obnoxious. Mutts do not belong in stores. Vest or no vest, I don't care, they have no business being in a store. They don't do anything. They can't help pay or push a cart. I'm so sick of thise. I'm very anxious about this type of stuff and now I don't even want to touch anything in that store anymore. I feel like anywhere could be contaminated.
Rant over.
