AIBU to question non-assistance dogs being allowed in Primark?

[FlimsyMimsy]

Coleen Rooney apparently has a new range in Primark. I saw the start of a video by someone who fancies herself as an influencer checking it out with her Cavapoo. Since when are dogs allowed in Primark that aren't assistance dogs? Is it crazy to think dogs are now ubiquitous?

Why does your dog need to got o the supermarket? Or any other shop?

If I’m out for the day walking with my dog and I want to grab a sandwich from the coop then I can’t because I wouldn’t leave her outside.

Oh god this is soooo naive. They have done their research and decided that these businesses become dog friendly BECAUSE it’s drives more customers/revenue. It’s not hard to understand even if you don’t like it.
its a business and a business decision

I love dogs and don't mind them being in shops, but I can understand why other people do mind. But it's a bit silly when non-dog-owners and non-shop-owners start making up spurious reasons for dogs not to be allowed in, e.g. it's not fair on the dogs, and people will be put off going to bricks and mortar shops . Lots of dogs would absolutely love to go round a supermarket. And if it didn't make financial sense to let dogs in, shop owners wouldn't do it.

When I was a kid in the 80's the only dogs you saw in shops / cafes were assistance dogs.
Now they're bloody everywhere, how on earth did we manage before?
We walked them then left them at home and they were perfectly fine until we got back.

They should put a pit or a cage outside to store them in until owners return

I would hate it if dogs were going in to supermarkets, unless assistance dogs of course.
How is it hygienic to have dogs sniffing, licking or drooling on food that other people are going to purchase?
It is not good.
Last year on two separate occasions whilst out and about, two different dogs slobbered on my bare legs. It was horrible.
Also, the food smells must drive the poor dogs mad.
Just leave them at home is my opinion.
I was brought up in a home with dogs btw .
