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?

@Snoken have you ever had a dog? I can assure you they frequently have a poopy smear or dingleberry stuck on their butt hair. I've seen French bull dogs for some reason with terrible smeared arseholes. Someone told me they have digestive issues.

I have two! Both are short haired and neither have butt hair or any dingleberries (since there is nothing there to dangle from). Sure if they have had a bad case of diarrhoea then maybe there are traces of poop on their anus but I wipe that off in that case. Believe it or not I don't want dog poop on my furniture at home either. We're not all gross dog owners with gross dogs covered in hair and mud.

no but sadly the kids are allergic to the gross ones and the non gross ones. I guess Nero is also one of our known allergens now then 🤣

They've allowed dogs for years

At least ten years. How have people only just noticed this??

They were jumping up to the table somewhere I went yesterday.

One person had a dog that was sitting on a chair and eating from the table, another a dog that was on the floor but kept jumping up and putting it's paws on the table.

I love dogs but they are everywhere at the moment and many are completely untrained.

The very nerve of a business making a decision about their own premises and who they want in it. How shocking.
Especially as there's absolutely no option other than to buy coffee and to do so from cafe Nero, you are forced to be exposed to these dogs.

Alert the church elders, and quite possibly the police too.

Ha, yes. I'm minded to go down and buy a coffee from them immediately. Dog in tow.
