Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I've seen it several times on the east coast of the US. So I'd be kinda surprised if it doesn't happen elsewhere. Same with stores, I assume it's usually a case of it being against policy, but the host making minimum wage not wanting to deal with the "THIS IS MY SUPPORT ANIMAL" ridiculousness. I don't see it often, I just think it's a good example of this narcissistic attitude.
I live on the east coast and have maybe seen it once in a blue moon. But it's not a regular occurrence. Never seen one INSIDE a restaurant, but definitely on the patio but most restaurants allows dogs on the patio seating. I've maybe very rarely seen a small dog riding in a shopping cart at a grocery store, any other dog was a service animal.
