Perhaps I'm entering my Karen stage of life, but sitting here and bitching about this on a college-football message board is pointless.
If it annoys you so much, you ought to have the fucking balls to go up to these people and say, "your dog doesn't belong in the HEB. There's food here, and it's gross." I've done it.
Maybe you get a "fuck you." Sure. Maybe. But guess what--people don't like confrontation. I mean, I do. But most people don't. So the end result is that the person's experience of taking the dog to the HEB was, on balance, a negative. And that will weigh on their decision-making next time they're thinking about taking the goddamned dog to the HEB.
Now imagine that everyone who spent time on this thread bitching about dogs at the HEB actually said something to the dog-owners they see at the HEB. If anyone who took a dog to the HEB got at least one pointed negative comment every trip, nobody would take their fucking dog to HEB. Fucking nobody.
This is on everyone who is too fucking afraid of confrontation to call out bad behavior. We all need to get over that shit.
