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.
