that's the thing, you can't ask them anything, it's a form of discrimination, apparently. the local grocery store told their workers any kind of "service animal" is ok, don't say anything to them, just ignore it and clean up after it if it shits in the store.....the front end manager was giving an employ shit about it one day while i was checking out.
i've thought about stealing one of the llamas from the local animal park....."this is louie, my service llama, where are the cookies? and oh yeah, Louie just shit all over the dairy aisle."
to me, it's just another sign that this society is crumbling, held together by technology so fragile, a magnet could wipe it all out
