No Dogs Allowed...Or are they?


A recent Blog Posting of mine made it quite plain that I don’t like Starbucks anymore. Several years ago Starbucks made the news for weeks about the manager of one of their stores who dared to not allow non-customers to use the bathrooms in the store where she was the manager.

She was fired before she could say, “Yea but...”.

Remember I am The Noticer. Within days of the above happening I was walking in a local strip mall and I noticed a sign on a store that read, Restrooms Are For Customer Use Only. Before I could think to myself, This Must Not Be a Starbucks Store, I saw that the very next store had the same sign displayed. My Noticing kicked into high gear and I Noticed that 4 out of five stores in a row had other similar such signs and none of them was a Starbucks Store.

I quickly figured it out. The people who used to make No Dogs Allowed signs had started making Restrooms Are for Customer Use Only signs and they had been selling a whole heck of a lot of those signs.

This is American Ingenuity in action!

The Dogs Are People Too Movement has kicked into high gear. Have you been to a Hotel/Motel lately? A few years ago I was staying in a Ritz-Carlton and the dogs were all over that high priced hotel. There was no extra charge (you bet ya the Ritz Carlton knows a lot about Extra Charging) for mistakenly thinking I was about to fall asleep before being awoken by the sound of a dog barking outside my door at 11pm.

I have not stayed in a Motel 6 in decades but I’m wondering if they now have a sign on the wall behind the check in counter that reads...No People Allowed.

Did you just say to yourself, “He can’t be serious”? Yes I am serious and I have researched this National Doggie Take Over. This happening is being funded by Dead People. That’s because so many people have started leaving their money to their pets. These now-wealthy Dogs, Cats, Gold Fish, etc. may not know about how to handle money but they do know that they don’t live that long and they are desperate to solidify their control as quickly as possible for future generations of them.

I’m going to stop now because I think I am out of control. I do plan on going to a Motel 6 and sticking my head inside the front door to see if my suspicions are warranted (provided there is not a sign on the front door that reads, “People Are Not Allowed To Stick Their Heads Inside This Door”).

Would I kid u?

About your theory about the No Dogs Allowed signs being replaced with Restrooms for Customers Only signs…that's some sharp noticing, my friend. It just goes to show that capitalism is alive and well in America!

But hey, if dead people want to leave their money to their pets, who am I to judge? I just hope those pets know how to invest wisely! Otherwise, we might end up with a bunch of broke dogs and cats running around, and that would be a real tragedy.

If you do end up sticking your head inside a Motel 6, just make sure there aren't any signs that say "No People Allowed." We don't want you getting in trouble with the hotel staff.

Our dog Beau wants to know if the author has a dog and did he help you with the idea for this foolishness?

We used to be dog people but gave away our 3rd Dachshund in 1975 when we were moving to California the first time we moved to California. The 1st 2 were killed by cars and the last one was not noticed to be gone by the children after we gave it away. So the answer is...The dog we do not have did not help with this Foolishness.
