OTOH fvck that school too....different deal.

I understand that I know that many business tell their employees don't ask just let them come in because of lawsuits being brought onto that business.

I was in the South Post commissary last week and had some woman bring in a small Chihuahua or Pikachu looking dog. It wasn't in her purse, but was on a leash. She just walked in and I said to her. Umm Ma'ma that isn't a service animal. She answered and so with a big smile. I told her she couldn't bring it in. She gave a look as watch me and put it in the cart basket area were a child sit. I proceeded to tell her that you're taking away from the actual service dogs that are authorized to come and what you're doing is improper, in moral and wrong. She turned and walked away. I walk passed her saying your a piece a shit service members wife to take of away from people your ungrateful and your actions. While shopping, I asked one of the managers about it. He said headquarters is instructed them not to ask just let them come in even though you can look and see the dog is not a service animal. This is the same thing that is local businesses and restaurants here in town.

Something needs to be done, yet as PRB stated, it nothing more or different than getting your handicap little tag from any doctor or buying what your state needs or service dog vest off the Internet just because you have $200, $300 or probably $100.
