Dogs in coffee shops?

[fedupntired]

Is this a thing now? I've previously seen dogs in clothes shops and today am in a coffee shop (which sells food) and two dogs have been welcomed with treats from behind the counter.
I own two dogs - but ew!

“Again, banks are part of the built environment designed for people. Children are people. Dogs are not. If you want to take your dog for a walk, take it to a field. Not your local branch of Santander”

Why is it ‘designed for people’? What design fault exists in a bank that prohibits a dog walking in there while a person does their banking?

A cafe that allows dogs is built no differently than a cafe that doesn’t. It has nothing to do with design and everything to do with choice. The choice of the cafe proprietor, hotel, clothes boutique, book shop etc to either allow dogs or not. Then you have a choice as to whether you use premises that allow dogs or don’t..... it’s very simple.

That's humour is it. Ok.

Dogs in coffee shops do not bother me. Neither do dogs in pubs. All the dogs I’ve seen in such places are always quietly minding their own business.

Things that are designed for people: banks, shops, restaurants, hotels, aeroplanes, buses, trains. Inexhaustive list.

Things that are designed for dogs: kennels, their manky owners' gardens, leads, poop scoops, shitbags.

You sound like such a lovely person...

@HaroldsSocalledBluetits
Shitbags!... sounds familiar...

Wish I could find one!

I am. I also don't take dogs/cats/guinea pigs/horses/cows into banks. And I don't think they're the same as children. Because I'm not fucking mental.

Have you been tested? I mean, are you 100% sure of that statement? You're coming across a bit...unhinged...

Because I'm not fucking mental

Well you sound a bit thick.

.... and a little bit "fucking mental"

Why were you taking a dog into a bank? Did it want to check it was getting a good return on its ISA? Or pay in a cheque maybe? It's a fucking dog. It doesn't have a fucking bank account.

All sorts of reasons: calling at the bank on the way back from the vet or the groomers, using the walk into town to walk the dog, rather than go out twice, in the case of Milton Keynes, because I couldn't trust my late mother, who had dementia, not to accidentally let them out into the street when it was too hot to leave them in the car, couldn't leave them at home with the plumber.

I've never taken them into the bank just for shitz and giggles, but I have done it with a puppy, as part of their socialisation.

Yup, got a certificate. There's a little codicil on it that says your dog smells and everyone hates it. Including the queen.

Not as much as the queen hates you apparently....

Actually in all seriousness your dog does smell. All dogs smell.

Yup, got a certificate. There's a little codicil

Really? I think you’re getting certificates and wills confused.

HTH.

I don't own a dog, so fuck knows what your little stamp means. Funnily enough the queen has dogs so your little certificate means jack shit

Oh ffs
Lots of people have dogs, sometimes it makes life a lot easier if you can just pop into the bank with them.
Harold, you're a dick

I love how everyone is talking about my certificate. 🤣🤣 Dogs smell and belong in kennels. Not banks, not shops and not restaurants.

Says who? Dogs are allowed on or in many banks, shops, restaurants, hotels, aeroplanes, buses, trains, hotels etc Their ‘design’ doesn’t prohibit them.

Do you own a business? Because if you do, you can dictate if dogs are allowed. If you don’t, you can’t. Unless you own such a business you are an insignificant spec of opinion that no one is interested in. I do own a retail business so I do get to decide if I want to allow dogs. I do and I do. I love that fact!! Yay for me! Boo for you .

Just let Bluetits continue her conversations with the voices in her head.

It's not worth engaging with him/her/it/them. You can't reason with stupid.

Does that mean i can put smelly people in kennels too 🤔 i know plenty...
