I work in a pub that is dog friendly, to a point. It is food led so there is one area away from the restaurant that dogs can be in, on the floor and on leads. This is made clear.
Two instances in the last fortnight.
Firstly, two couples with four dogs between them. Didnt like the area so after ordering food one went to the bar and said "Oh we are now on table X", and the staff member said that it was no problem, very young and didnt think to check about the dogs. They took a table in a non dog area and when I went over there were the dogs sat on chairs. I explained that they needed to move back or leave the dogs outside. And that if they moved back, the dogs were not allowed on the furniture.
Well you would have thought I was telling them that I was going to put the dogs on spikes in the car park. Massively kicked off and decided to leave. So I cancelled their food. No problem, they paid when ordering.
A couple who happily sat in the dog area with three dogs. Had their food and then sat and held up the plates for the dogs to lick.
Now I know that some people see no issue with this, yes the plates are washed and then put through a sanitiser, but many people would see this and not come back as they dont want to eat from a plate that a dog may have licked. When I asked them not to do this, I was adding three more dogs to the four already spiked in the car park.
ETA I will not be going to the Range again so thanks for the heads up!
