00:00That's how I got that picture of a guy who I thought was froggy.
00:02Oh, that's right.
00:03The guy coming out of the gas station who was your chubby doppelganger.
00:08Is there a rule?
00:11Are you allowed, first of all, are you allowed to bring dogs into like retail play?
00:16I guess it's up to the store.
00:19Now, granted.
00:20See them as small businesses.
00:21Yeah, like people that bring their small dogs into a target or a small business.
00:30In this case, I've got a public story to tell.
00:33Now, service dogs are welcome everywhere.
00:35If you are a non-sighted individual, if you're blind, you've got a, you know, a Southeastern guide dog or something.
00:42Great organization.
00:43You know, people that need dogs, true actual service animals, you know, not the whole emotional support fraud that, you know, most, that many have pulled off.
00:52Whoa, don't mock mental health.
00:54Dude, the emotional support animals on like airplanes, most of those were an absolute racket.
01:00Finally, you know, the airlines cracked down on that.
01:02I took my chihuahua everywhere and they would say something that's like emotional support.
01:05Oh, sorry, sir.
01:06Well, my question is, I've seen people with like the little teacup dogs.
01:14Remember Paris Hilton who just got married yesterday, right?
01:18So Paris Hilton was very visible by, with these little chihuahuas, these little tiny little teacup dogs.
01:24And they were like, like one pound or one and a half pound dogs.
01:28And didn't she get kind of excoriated when the dogs got too big and not cute enough to carry around?
01:35Didn't she like ditch the dogs?
01:36Wasn't that a thing with Paris?
01:37I don't know that to be true.
01:38I thought that was a thing.
01:40These dogs aren't hot.
01:40I thought Paris had an incident once with her little dog and a coyote.
01:45Oh, where the coyote took the dog?
01:47Dogs in the backyard and the bigger dog came along.
01:50Well, I've heard of like some birds of prey swooping down and taking little small dogs and, you know, with their talons.
01:55So I'm in Publix.
01:56I'm at the Publix in Beach Park, adjacent to Beach Park.
02:02It's the newer Publix, which is right across from West Shore.
02:06So it's on West Gandy.
02:07It's where the old sports authority.
02:10The old sports authority.
02:11So I'm in there.
02:13Michelle made.
02:14Oh, it's incredible.
02:16Michelle has some recipe that I think it's like some Martha Stewart variation, actually, where she gets butternut squash and sweet potatoes.
02:24And then does insider trading.
02:25No, she takes the butternut squash and the sweet potatoes and Michelle cubes up like little tiny dice.
02:34So little cubes of sweet potato and butternut squash.
02:37And then she mixes like a balsamic and thyme, you know, fresh thyme.
02:42Sage.
02:43No, no, no sage.
02:44Thyme.
02:45So she mixes.
02:47Are you just going to add spices to the recipe over there?
02:49You want to add a few more?
02:50You throw some coriander in there as well.
02:51How about some celery salt?
02:53So.
02:53A little rosemary.
02:54It's amazing.
02:55And then you put it on a baking sheet and you roast this for like, you know, 35 minutes.
02:59And it's just, it's incredible.
03:02And we didn't have arugula because a lot of times when she makes it, she likes to put the sweet potato butternut squash on a nice bed of arugula.
03:11So I go to Publix to get the arugula.
03:14And while I'm in Publix, I see a woman, probably mid-20s, 25, you know, attractive young woman.
03:22And she's got a dog with her.
03:24Now, is the dog on a leash?
03:26No.
03:27What?
03:28Was this a tiny little dog?
03:29No.
03:31She had, it was like a border collie.
03:37Just walking alongside of her?
03:39No.
03:39In a canvas bag.
03:42An oversized canvas bag.
03:45I mean, a large, like a large, large tote bag.
03:49And she's got it slung over her shoulder.
03:52And she's also using her hand to like prop the thing up.
03:55She's got this large dog.
03:57It had to be a 35-pound dog, 40-pound dog at least, that she had in a canvas tote that she was walking around shopping in Publix.
04:08Maybe it's an old sick dog.
04:10Was it old?
04:11I mean, did you get that close to the dog?
04:13Why don't you put the dog in the cart?
04:15It was.
04:16Yeah.
04:17No, it was not a sickly dog.
04:19The dog was like alert and looking around.
04:21Oh, I was thinking like it's old, she can't leave it alone.
04:23No, no.
04:24I mean, the dog's wondering, why the hell am I in this bag in a supermarket?
04:27First of all, are you allowed to bring dogs into Publix, even if it's like a tiny little dog?
04:31But this was like a 35, 40-pound dog that she's carrying around.
04:34I mean, she's like.
04:35That's pretty hefty.
04:36She's like, I can see that she's like not struggling.
04:39But, you know, it's an effort to hold this dog up.
04:43I don't know whether she didn't want to leave the dog in the car.
04:45That's a no-no, obviously.
04:47But I meant to try to take a picture.
04:51Well, I tried to take a picture, but I couldn't do it at all.
04:55You know, I've snapped photos in the past where you can get a shot inconspicuously or
04:59you pretend you're like, you know, looking at your phone for the shopping list over here
05:03and then you snap a photo.
05:04I got the way to do that.
05:05I got the way to do it.
05:06Hold your phone up like you're FaceTiming, but record video and talk to your phone so
05:10people think you're just FaceTiming.
05:12And then you can freeze frame the image.
05:14That's how I got that picture of a guy who I thought was froggy.
05:17Oh, that's right.
05:17The guy coming out of the gas station who's your chubby doppelganger.
05:20This was a large dog for it to be in a canvas tote slung over her shoulder.
05:27And that's just awkward to try to carry.
05:29I'm picturing, I mean, my child is 30 pounds and to put her in a tote and tote her around,
05:34that would be kind of like tiresome.
05:36Can you look up Publix dog in store policy?
05:40I'm guessing probably only legitimate service dogs, like a seeing eye dog is what I'm guessing.
05:46Publix dog in store.
05:47I didn't see anybody approach her.
05:50I didn't see anyone say anything.
05:53Here we go.
05:54Look, it comes right up.
05:57Public supermarkets does not allow dogs inside their stores.
06:00The only exception is for dogs that are classified as service animals in accordance with the Americans
06:06with Disabilities Act, the ADA, exactly as I suspected.
06:09All dogs that are not recognized as service animals by ADA will not be allowed to enter inside a public store.
06:16Meanwhile, she's got a 35-pound, like 40-pound, like a border cop.
06:21It might not have been.
06:22It might have been.
06:23What's that other dog?
06:24It might have been.
06:26Greyhound?
06:27No.
06:28Oh, an English Springer Spaniel.
06:30It might have been that.
06:32Oh, one of those.
06:33You really didn't get a good look because it was in a duffel bag.
06:36I don't blame you for not knowing the exact word.
06:40So it had the big floppy ears, kind of?
06:42There was enough.
06:43There was enough of this dog that was, it was a large dog.
06:46I'm like, you know what?
06:48I don't know if you're supposed to have this dog in.
