Having lived in a Europe for a little bit now, I can tell you, it's easy to find a seat in a restaurant for a dog than it is for a small child. In some respects, I'd prefer that because dogs can be, if properly trained, well-heeled. Children can be, too, but these days mostly art. (God forbid we "limit their creative spirits." Seriously, a friend said that to me once when I asked her to ask her son not to run through my house like the Tasmanian Devil. I stray.) Having said that, though, most people in Europe are pretty clear that their dogs aren't a little human. The dog belongs on the ground/floor, not on the chair or table.

As for that Subway, there are so many sociological and psychological scenarios going on there, it is ripe for analysis. Let's just leave it at, good for you for saying something and good for that store owner for doing the right thing. So maybe he pisses off a "I feel entitled" dog owner or two, but what's that compared to actually staying in business?

well done indeed!

That is horrible. Why don't 'normal' people give a crap about stuff like this?

Sorry dog-lovers. Any animal, thing or person that can (and does) regularly and gleefully lick it's own ass is not welcome in any eating establishments.

...and it was on the freaking table! Ugh! I would have called the country there and then.

As far as I'm concerned the only time a dog should be in a restaurant is when it's ON the menu. I

Yuk!

Hairnets may not be attractive, but they sure as hell serve a purpose!

Here's one for you: several years ago, I ordered a pizza from some little place not far from Chez Merde here. When it arrived, I opened it up only to discover mold on all the sausage. I mean BIG BLUE LUMPS OF FUZZY MOLD. I just about ralphed all over creation.

I called the place and they accused me of lying. Fortunately, this was on a workday, and I called the county asap. Took pictures of the mold, etc. The pizza place called me back in a few minutes and offered me $50 to withdraw my complaint to the county. (Apparently, the county called them immediately to halt food service.) I told them "no" and they told me they were sending someone over to take the pizza away. Yeah, right! I didn't even try to get my money back. Figured it wasn't worth inviting them into my life again.

That place closed down that very week.

The last time I got a sub at Domino's (which I liked doing because I could order it online and pick it up on the way to work) I discovered a (human) hair in it. I contacted Dominos corporate online and complained and while they did email me letting me know they'd notified the store, I never heard anything back from the store itself, and they definitely lost me as a customer as well. Needless to say, that was a sub I didn't finish.
