Earlier today in the Safeway on Mission I witnessed a small white dog floor while its owner was busy scanning items jump up on someone else checking out (in front of an employee no less) and then proceed to run out of the self checkout and down the main walkway at the front of the store.

Why is this so common nowadays? I've also seen people with dogs trying to enter the Trader Joe's downtown although to their credit a security guard has stopped them each time.
