re: I was at the local wine / craft beer store when a dude tried to come in with a dog....

Because the dog wasn't shot?

Just had my first experience with this situation during the week. Had to go to the Post Office to mail a couple certified letters. Just behind me this young girl walks in with her dog.

The clerk at the counter asks her, "Ma'am, is that a service dog?" She says, "No, he's an emotional support dog, do you want to see my papers?"

Blew - my - fricking - mind.

I mean, I guess you expect that kind of idiocy in large cities because it takes all kinds of people to live there, but this was in Mamou, LA, in rice and beans country. The snowflakes have taken over.
