Service dog sign to surely rustle some jimmies.

[TITAN308]

My hats off to whatever store posted this. As usual, the truth is probably going to rile a lot of people up.

Wait, so I can't pretend I'm blind and bring my roommate's dog with me to the grocery store any more?

I AM SO RILED! /sarcasm.

The intent may be legitimate, but this walks face first into the debate about what a service animal is.

For example: https://www.ada.gov/archive/qasrvc.htm

Where it gets somewhat convoluted is when it comes to service and/or support animals.

The sentence on that sign that may run into trouble is "A true service animal does not need to be in a shopping cart". In the days that service animals were mainly seeing eye dogs, that may have been true. Now that there is a much wider range to both animal type and what they do, it may be less clear.

Different types of service dogs. Blind,Disabled,Mental "anxiety depression etc"

They are talking about the ones that people say are service dogs just so they dont have to return home with fido before entering

Good. Fuck people who bring their pet into the grocery store/convenience store/restaurant/anywhere that serves food. I don't want fucking pet dander and fur on my food. It's against health code in my state anyway.

issues is solved if the person has to have a card verifying that his/her animal is indeed a service dog which they can then show to the person in charge at the place they are going to. You need that blue sticker to park in a disabled parking spot why not have something similar for a service animal

[Canbie]

Good. Fuck people.

Fixed that for you!

Funny part is they actually do need proof but it is illegal to ask to see it.

My jimmies are not rustled.

Reminds me of that time someone claimed a pig was a service animal so it could fly on the plane and it ended up shitting everywhere.

then there is the problem and it needs to be changed, makes no sense to me why it would be illegal to ask in the first place though. Once again, self centered assholes ruining it for the people who actually do need service animals -_-

Maybe it was a food delivery service.

Yeah. Seizure alert animals seem to becoming popular. A guy at my college had a little toy breed that was trained to alert him if he was about to have a seizure so he could get somewhere safe.

I had it happen where I work a year or two, apparently someone's dog sit on our carpet. We were having none of that shit.

[Bollocks]

My jimmies are not rustled.

Reminded me of Harambe even though I know that image was around first... now my jimmies are rustled.

What, are dogs allowed in stores over there?

Someone with a dog would get tossed out immediately here.

People with dogs are not. People who have a disability that requires them to have a service animal are, and that animal goes with them.

The service dog link that I posted earlier has some interesting information on Psychiatric Service Dogs (PSD). Here's a link to the specific page discussing them: http://www.servicedogcentral.org/content/node/77

Never once seen an animal in a store. People with disabilities get an actual human attendant for that. And if for whatever reason they don't have one, then one of store staff will assist. I assisted one disabled person when I worked some weeks in a store as training.

Not if it was a legit service animal, you -can't- throw them out without a lawsuit.

There's a bunch of things a disabled person wouldn't "get a human attendant" for.
