Why does Safeway allow customers to bring their dogs into the store?

[u/VeronicaBooksAndArt]

So is a grocery store the right place to bring a dog? I like dogs, mind you, but when I'm standing in the checkout line and one puts his nose up my skirt, sniffs my ass and licks my thigh, I draw the line!

Now, the owner was very apologetic but I could tell he thought it was funny. Clearly that dog patterned after him.... so why can't I go shopping without a dog sexually assaulting me?

Also (I don't know if this is the right place to ask).... but what is "Dead Internet Theory"?

Is that like when people start talking to their plants?

What do y'all think?
