I agree with NotSpaghetti. Emails or phone calls higher up the Sainsbury's food chain than local manager. (and make it clear if you want to be anonymous - I just say that as I would want to be as not Terribly Brave...)

My local Sainsbury's has a post outside that most people tie their dogs to.
Guide dogs are different.

I don't think dogs should be in ANY shops or eateries. It's unhygienic. I am terrified of dogs and the places I can go have been drastically reduced in recent years because of this stupid recent trend. What about people with allergies too? Mind you having a dog seems to bring out the selfish streak in people who don't care about anybody who doesn't love their pooch.

I'd message Sainsbury's.
This is not OK.

I was in the queue in a local smallish Sainsbury when a medium sized mongrel wondered in accompanied by a man I only saw from the side and back. He paused near the fruit and veg section then carried on. The dog was not on a lead.

I asked the young man on the checkout why did no one tell him to leave? he said he comes in here with his dog all the time he’s ok.
I persisted with the ‘I didn’t think dogs were allowed in stores near food’ blank looks, shrug.
