These codependent mofos who have to bring their animal not only to a mall (an outdoor mall, but the point stands) but into stores and into a cafe in a store. They are so inconsiderate as well. If my mom had been a customer in the cafe, she'd have an allergic reaction.

At work they think I'm allergic b/c no one cares about phobic. So I usually get to avoid any dogs that get brought in. This one was, OBVIOUSLY, not a real service dog. No vest AND IT BARKED

It barked and I had an anxiety attack at work. Two small ones, actually. It barked im two separate instances.

What is wrong with people? I'm not a pet person, I grant you. I do not understand the whole "fur baby" thing at all. But to take a dog into a store (pet stores being exceptions, of course) and even more, into a restaurant not b/c you have a genuine medical need but b/c you WANT TO is so inconsiderate.

As I said, what if someone had an allergic reaction to the dog? Do you make the allergic customer leave or the one with the dog? You can't have both when allergies are very severe.

still not fully off the anxiety attack and subsequent adrenaline spike

Service dogs are fine. Service dogs are necessary for some people. Service dogs are trained not to bark for no reason or go wandering away from their owner. They sit quietly at owners' feet until they.leave. We've had service dogs in the cafe before and I've not had an anxiety attack.
