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/

Where do you live that people bring dogs into restaurants?
I'm a dog owner and a dog lover, but OP is right that many people who own dogs have gotten bad. The sense of entitlement people have is out of control, and it extends to their behavior with their dogs. I, too, have seen people take (usually little) dogs into restaurants. Owners sometimes don't notice, but even when they do, I think they just wait to see if anyone complains. I've also seen all manner of dogs in grocery stores. People with legitimate service dogs usually have vests on them, not just to make it clear to business owners, but because they usually don't want people petting and distracting the service dogs when they're on duty. That pug on the bedazzled pink leash wandering through the produce aisle probably isn't a service dog.
That doesn't happen where I live. Only service dogs are allowed in most businesses, and I see one of those maybe 3 or 4 times a year. The only place I see dogs brought inside are the pet stores that allow/encourage it.
