[NAGDU] what businesses can do

Wed Jun 22 19:29:43 UTC 2016

Because there are regulations from the health department that say no pets 
around food or health care establishments.  The individual business can make 
their own rules about pets if they are selling shoes or garden tools, but 
there are laws about food and health care.

I also don't think I presented the story very well.  My son will do whatever 
and I'm not a part of that.  Also the store owner can have whatever 
discussion he needs to have with the health department and that’s not my 
business either.  I suppose what I was getting at is the attitude that folks 
feel they can take their pet anywhere, refer to being questioned as an 
access denial  and have this entitled attitude about it.

Also we talk a lot about how to work with businesses on what they can do to 
curtail the pets with fakers issue.  Perhaps this incident is one reason why 
businesses struggle with calling out the fakers.

Maybe I'm missing something, but how is it relevant that the store is a 
grocery store, with a food counter, etc? I think Buddy said it it exactly 
right ...

Sorry, it's a grocery store, with a deli that serves food. I don't think
that was clear before.

Pretty simply, businesses can allow dogs if they want. If the store owner
doesn't have a problem with pet dogs in his store, I'm really not sure what
the problem is?
