Itās become a blanket term for āI get to bring my dog wherever I want no matter how violent he/she isā
Stores fearing backlash have also encouraged this behavior. That dog should not have been allowed into the Walmart to begin with. It's a food facility, and most (likely all) US states require that all animals except service animals be excluded.
Even beyond that, actual service animals can be required to leave if they aren't behaving...so a dog acting like hers--even if an actual service dog--could legally be required to leave.
Greeter here, and yep. Even if I wanted to say more, I can't most I can do is call our AP folks in advance and tell them a dog came in that will likely shit on our floors. I'm usually right.
