MrBrad Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Imagine the uproar if one were to put his own shoes on the counter or a table. That would pretty much send all patrons running for the doors, never to return. And these dog lovers think their dogs' feet are cleaner than the bottoms of my (or their own) shoes? Highly unlikely.

tonibuergisser Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Pet dog, not too big so he can stay under the table should be no problem to anybody. My dog always knew his place was under the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiKT Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 It's a bugger to stop the rotty pooping on restaurant tables so we generally encourage her sit on other peoples tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiKT Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Dont bring pets to restaurants or for that matter any other public place. Take your hat off at the table Dont touch your cellphone at the table Dont talk with your mouth full Dont chew with your mouth open Dont smack your gum Wear shirts and shoes in public places Say yes/no sir/mamm, thank you, please, excuse me Listen to your elders Dont let your children run around in public like yard apes If your children pitch a fit, take them outside and the pump don't work cause the vandals took the handle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
long klong Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Reminds me of an incident in Geneva. The lady who had invited us to dinner at a well-known restaurant on the lake turned up with her poodle. As we were studying the menu she ordered the poodle's dinner - " tenderloin stake chopped in small pieces and cooked gently (rough translation from French). The dog, with a napkin wrapped round his neck, was served before anyone else by the caring head waiter. The conversation too was naturally about the poodle. We were a bit surprised but it seemed nobody at the other tables showed any interest or concern. It probably happened quite frequently. Is this the height of civilization (according to one OP few days ago)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiengmaijoe Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Dogs, or any other pets shouldn't be on the table, but in my experience the benefit of having a dog that customers like and can interact with far outweighs the disadvantage of upsetting the odd customer that doesn't like animals or the odd hygiene freak. The use of the word 'odd' is intentional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmegaRacer Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Regardless if they walk on the pavement or live their lives in a handbag, dogs shouldn't be allowed on a restaurant table. Full stop. It's simply bad manners. Even toddlers walking on tables is disgusting imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiengmaijoe Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I think pets in restaurants should be allowed. In Switzerland, where I come from it is allowed. Last time I was in England I spent a few days in the magnificent Yorkshire Dales. In some of the pubs I remarked to my sister that I was surprised that they served us. When she asked why, I said that we were the only pair that didn't have a dog. My impression was that bringing a dog to the pub was compulsory!

Chiengmaijoe Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Dogs are not allowed in restaurants and shouldn't be. At home chasing the cats is his job. not sitting on restaurant tables. Where aren't they allowed in restaurants? We're talking about Chiang Mai here. I might be wrong, but I think it is at the discretion of the owner in most restaurants, in most countries. As has been pointed out, if a guide dog is deemed to be hygienically acceptable, why would other dogs be banned?http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/pets-health/9583690/Pet-subjects-What-is-the-law-on-allowing-dogs-in-bars-restaurants-and-shops.html I wonder what the law is on ferrets.....

poweratradio Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 If you think dogs on the table is bad, you should go and look at the kitchen where your food is stored and cooked. While you're there, observe the "chef" exit the toilet and proceed directly to grab your steak off the tray where it's been sitting amongst the fish and prawns for a few hours and throw it in the pan after scaring off the flies and the cat that were having a free appetizer. The dog will be the least of your worries. Anytime your ready please start a forum thread outlining all the restaurants you know of with these atrocious sanitary habits so others can add on to it.

bangmai Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 they commonly don't allow Indians or Africans on Sukumvit; so it should be ok to allow dogs up here. I don't go to restaurants where they are handling babies, either...let the market decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZurf Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 "The first time i thought, 'oops a one-off'. Now i've seen small dogs perched up on the restaurant table twice, both being cuddled and pampered by the young women dog owners. The restaurant staff not seeming to care" Next time point at the dog and say in a loud voice: " How much for the dog? It would go well with some fava beans and a nice Chianti!"

Tokay Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Every restaurant should have a sign on the door, pets welcome or pets not welcome, and everyone abides by those rules. I will spend my money in the pets not welcome establishments. Nothing against your animals, but I don't want them around my food. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chill Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I apologise, but somehow I fail to understand why a dog for a blind person is okay in a restaurant whereas if its owned by anyone else it becomes a health hazard. If you don't like dogs in restaurants then why would you share it with a dog for the blind? It has to be as unsanitary as any other dog. Not that I think that dogs constitute a health risk. However I would not frequent a restaurant that allows dogs on the table, just my call. I'm sure if the table was washed down afterwards if would be cleaner than many tables that I sit at.
