[Politics] Dogs in restaurants?

[The Clamp]

What do we think?

Lounge areas of bars.. fine I think.

But right now I’m in a proper restaurant / breakfast place and they allow dogs in.

Panting and dribbling after their walk. Hot dog breath rising up over the tables.

I love dogs. Not with my breakfast though.

To be honest, I think dog owners are afforded far too much leeway and it’s turned a lot of dog owners into smug, entitled, snobs.

Thoughts?

‘It depends’

Places with a bit more space I’ve got no issues with well behaved dogs on the floor (I take mine to some places) but smaller cramped place or bigger, badly behaved dogs - agreed pain.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Tastier than you'd expect. Nice on toast.

 

[Is it PotG?]

ONLY if they're on the menu.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

An army of CYCLISTS have invaded the pub that I walk my dog to have breakfast in on occasion on a Sunday.

If we could banish all them to the restaurant area and keep dogs in the lounge area, I'd be very happy.

 

[Sussax]

Agreed.

Dogs in a Bar/Taproom no issue with at all, although it can be mildly annoying when you're holding a few pints walking to your seat and you have to watch out for leads etc. But a hell of a lot better than having little kids running around.

Any eatery where you're spending £30+ a head on food, I wouldn't expect/want to see a dog.

Just as long as they don’t drop their guts

I have to actively avoid pubs/cafes etc that let dogs in as I'm allergic to them. It has become increasingly difficult to find such places since the pandemic. So many dog owners seem to think it's wonderful to let their mutt/hound wander around inside to sniff other people and for a petting.

Yep ban dogs, shouty people, screaming babies, noisy children, oversized buggies, people who read the Sun, support Palace or eat full English when they are 20 stone overweight and muddy boots …

In fact, I think I’d rather eat my breakfast at home

Brilliant business idea, I'm in

 

[The Clamp]

I prefer to take my breakfast in silence. Royal Navy style.

It’s not a time for excessive noise or having to tolerate other people’s sense of entitlement.

We live in a world of yoga mats and labradoodles. Babychinos, no headphones and “what’s for me”? “Where’s mine”? And “ME FIRST”!

The lockdowns turned their front rooms into the world and now they’ve turned the world into their front room.


Ugh.

 

[Yes Chef]

Bill's has a menu for dogs , wankers

Not forgetting Child free flights

By that I mean no children not that they should go free!

It’s that kind of place though isn’t it?

Firmly in the DOGS OUT camp. It never ceases to astonish me, the scale of entitlement dog owners exhibit, about where they can take their animals.

I wouldn't even have them in a pub that serves food, personally. Welcome to sit outside on the terrace or in the beer-garden - like the smokers.

I read that some group or other have challenged the legality of child free resorts and holidays.

Entitled beyond belief. There are plenty of places you can take your wailing cabbage children. Let us child free adults have some space please.

My daughter has a severe allergy to dog fur and dander - outdoors is fine, enclosed spaces bring on a reaction.

In my experience absolutely zero understanding of this is usually ( thankfully not always ) appreciated by dog owners.

As an aside, I used to play in a pub pool league which was in a side room at our pub. When things got tense, Carly the Alsatian was let into the room to sniff the opposition players whenever it got tense in proceedings.

It's that kind of shithousery home advantage tactics we need to employ at the Amex.

Especially hipster kids who are never disciplined in any way. Don’t like precocious little kids running amok? Oh well “that’s what children do” being a standard response. Kicking the back of my seat on a plane and being left to do so winds me up more than it should! Say anything and your are looked at like you have two heads!
