Dogs are not sanitary and have NO place in a restaurant. If you want to eat with your dog stay home. I don’t care if the restaurant doesn’t explicitly ban it, it’s common sense that dogs don’t belong in places like that.

If it’s “common sense”, and the restaurant hasn’t banned dogs, don’t go to that restaurant. Duh?

Remember Covid? People wore masks because it was common sense and a mandate. It wasn’t a restaurants or price choppers responsibility to enforce it but it was the rule.

Well dogs in those places are the same. The fda says they shouldn’t be there. Just because the restaurant hasn’t thought they needed their own policy to tell you not to do something moronic and unsanitary doesn’t mean that you have the right to do it.

I’ve never seen a restaurant that has any policy against driving an ATV through the door… would we agree it’s common sense you don’t do that? Most restaurants have front double doors. Were those installed specifically so you could drive your 4 wheeler around? No because a 4 wheeler isn’t a personal mobility device. The same for your pet not being a service animal

If I had a pet horse would you want me bringing it to a restaurant?

How does covid relate to dogs?

Why is public health and safety even remotely adjacent to allowing a dog into a restaurant?

"Whataboutism"

Wow you are like all of the matter in the universe the moment before the Big Bang eh? How is letting a germ infested animal around food a public health issue?

But yes the intent there was to draw a parallel to a recent situation where society as a whole was given a rule to follow (in that case wear a mask at the grocery store, in this case don’t bring your fucking dog in the grocery store) where it was not the businesses responsibility to make a rule for something that already existed. If the FDA says dogs shouldn’t be in places that sell or serve food, then places they sell and serve food don’t need an additional rule saying the same thing.

But since people are dick fucks, and can’t be reasonable members of society we have dogs in grocery stores and restaurants and no one wants to be attacked by the psychopaths who don’t understand that we live in a society with a social contract to follow the rules, so stores and restaurants just let people do what they want.
