3. Our local Ralph's has a big sign, "No animals allowed inside."

It does have an addition allowing registered support animals. Almost every day I shop there I see some idiot bringing in their dog on a leash, clearly not a real "support animal" such as a seeing eye dog. Some of them even have the dog riding in the grocery cart.

I asked a manager about it and he said it is a real problem. The law prohibits it, he told me, and it is certainly not the best thing in terms of healthy practice, but if he talks to the customer about it they become irate and he risks losing a customer. He did say that he tries to keep an eye out and take a cart out of service when a dog has been riding in it. That's today's shopper - become irate and threaten to boycott a store because the manager asks you to follow the law.

Taking exception to a cat hanging out in a general store seems excessively fastidious.
