Caffe Nero

I visited a Caffe Nero today and was surprised about the amount of dogs in there.
It was a fairly small cafe probably around 15 tables/seating areas. There were 8 dogs, 4 of which were on the chairs/sofa and one that seemed to be getting under everyones feet when they passed.
I think it is really unhygienic for a place that sells food to be allowing dogs to sit on the chairs.
AIBU?

Were they assistance dogs?

There are dogs EVERYWHERE at the moment! All the cafes I visit seem to have them. Absolutely hate it. I don’t understand why it’s acceptable

Can't fucking stand it.

Gross. It'd put me off going there.

I don't think the chairs are used to put the food on so you should be okay on the hygiene front?

Dogs definitely should not be on the chairs...

I am probably biased against this idea though as I find dogs frightening, I just cannot relax around them at all. I know the vast majority are most likely absolutely lovely, I just can't cope with them.

It's good to have dog friendly cafes and restaurants, I just hope some dog owners can be more responsible and respectful of others.

I didn't know dogs were allowed in Caffe Nero! This is bad news for me as my youngest is terrified of dogs but she loves caffe nero, hope the one in our town doesn't start getting dogs in. She probably wouldn't mind a really big, docile one on the floor but I don't think dogs should be allowed on chairs anyway I agree it's really unhygienic.
