[nagdu] Random poop

Mon Mar 25 20:25:04 UTC 2013

Hey Eve,
No, there's no law against pooping in Walmart or any other store - well 
unless it is US humans who do the pooping! Which has happened.  LOL! 
Really, store employees realize that customers can get sick, kids puke, 
whatever,and they just announce, "Cleanup on Aisle 10!"  Nothing more than 
embarrassment.  Stuff happens.  What REALLY annoys store employees is when 
people open packages of merchandise and steals part of it or all of it and 
leaves the packaging and other kinds of shoplifting.

You do your best in making sure your dog is empty and that's about all you 
can do.  You keep your dog under control and that's a hell of alot more than 
many parents with their brats in the store running amok all over the place. 
So, youo won't get in trouoble.  Yeah, I race around Walmart, too - to shop 
and then get the hell out of there before I kill someone (grin!).
