Guessing that’s probably the least of your worries when it comes to hygiene in the kitchen. I’ve often heard owners of restaurants say they don’t eat in restaurants, but I have no interest in finding out why. Ignorance is bliss.
I’m not doubting that you’ve heard that but come on that’s a little silly. If they own a restaurant like that then it’s on them to fix the damn problem.

We don’t take our dogs out with us unless it’s a “Dog” activity, but it sure is cool to hit a patio for a beer and snacks if the mood hits us and the dogs are with us (i.e. Banff)
I don’t doubt that it’s nice for you, and if the business owner thinks it’s in their best interest to allow dogs on their patios then I’m happy for both of you to be able to have that option. For me personally though it’s likely a deterrent in most cases.

He’s actually thinking of the Carson Briere thread where you came off looking even worse than a guy who whines about women being in your $1 pack of fast food coffee hockey cards.
Why are people bringing their dogs into stores? Is it to socialize them? I don't really get it. I'm a dog owner and I've never thought to myself, "I need to pick up some drywall screws, let's take the dog for a walk at HomeDepot."
To be honest, it's great. Canadian Tire allows dogs as well and it's nice to take them with you for twenty minutes. Doubt anyone uses it as a replacement for a walk (though who knows) but for quick trips it's wonderful instead of leaving them in the vehicle.
Dog bites customer in the face at Home Depot, owner walks off, sheriff says
A customer at a Home Depot store in Colorado was left “severely injured” after another customer’s dog bit them in the face.
According to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, the attack happened at the Home Depot store in Evergreen on March 31.
Dogs on leashes are allowed inside Home Depot stores.
The sheriff’s office said the woman with the dog asked another customer to give the dog a treat, but the customer was bit in the face. As Home Depot employees tended to the victim, the woman left the scene with her dog, the sheriff said.
The injured customer requires facial surgery as a result of the dog bite, the sheriff’s office said.
Apparently it's a thing at Home Depot.

This is what I don’t get. Why do you need to bring your dog on a quick trip to the store?

Because I like having him with me? He likes going in the car? Especially if it's doing a few errands, he doesn't mind waiting in the truck, but if I can go to a Home Depot or Canadian Tire where he's allowed, he's coming.
It's not a need, lol.

My Collie/Lab loves going to Lowes, after being alone while I'm at work all day we hit the dogpark, after supper if I need to pick up a few things I'm not going to lock him up again.
Getting used to my girlfriends dog (big one) and going to the dog park as someone who didnt grow up with dogs, she and others still poke fun at me for sometimes going into a protective body position around them when they're excited and not being totally trusting yet ... reading stories like those, I stand behind my instincts lol.
Not all dogs are behaved, and not every owner can be relied on to take control of their animal around bystanders.

I'm still a bit shocked after getting bitten last week so yeah I'll be avoiding dogs and flinching for the next little while.
They should not poke fun at you, that's ignorant.

I propose the "good boy/girl" certification system. Dogs that can display a minimum amount of self-control will be given a special tag that will allow them to go into businesses/public spaces/etc. This would improve safety and shame crappy dog owners into actually training their dog.

I wonder what happens if someone is attacked by a dog and the person's or someone's reaction is to start attacking the dog until it's dead.
I was chatting with a guy who owns a pit bull. He says that he's a responsible owner, but other pit bull owners are not. His comments were a bit strange.
He says if he does a poor job training his dog and it attacks someone and causes injury, the dog would get euthanized. His comments was that his dog attacking someone would represent a failure as an owner/trainer and that it also means that the dog was not taught well enough not to be a danger to society. He also mentioned that if it attacked his kids, he might end up killing it with his own two hands as a protective instinct to his family. "It's a pit bull, there's a possibility you might actually have to grab something to kill it to actually get it to stop, if it goes out of control."
That's a crazy mentality to have. But props to him.
