    We had a lady come into our store the other day with a little dog on a leash wearing a multicolored striped sweater. Our supervisor said something to her ( didn't hear what it was). I asked my supervisor if she tried to say it was a therapy dog and she said that that's what the lady said. So, as I said above, we really can't question it further but she did call one of the managers to give them a head's up.

      It used to strike a nerve in me when I was a telephone operator when customers like this called in. People would call in from pay phones, saying they were blind, thinking it entitled them to a free call. We gave these people dial rate, meaning charged as if they dialed it themselves. Well, at a pay phone, it was twenty-five cents. Then they would get upset and ugly, cursing us out. The blind ones calling from home never were like that.

        It was obvious the man could see, and it was obvious the dog dog wasn't a seeing eye dog because he was wandering around the store away from his owner, so I didn't think it was necessary to question him further.
        Agreed, but it might have given them a lever to get his dog out of there.

        you know, a customer who claimed (lied) they were blind and then got into a truck/car would seriously make me think about calling the non emergency police number and report a driver on the road who claimed they were blind
        Yep, exactly.

        And thanks, all, for the info on guide dog harnesses and jackets. I was not aware of much of this.

          I totally need a guard snake for when I'm drunk.

          Ya know, in case anyone tries anything with me. I'll just get one of those big snakes, name it Tickles, and carry it around with me wrapped around my shoulders. Creepy McCreeperson tries to slip something in my drink....oopsie daisies, where'd he go? And Tickles is full for another week.
          And he could come in handy for many other situations, like pesky door-to-door salesmen who won't take no for an answer, obnoxious neighbors, sucky customers...the list goes on and on.

          Then you'd have another problem. Namely, a morbidly obese snake.
          I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.
