These rules seem arbitrary and capricious. If the dog is well-trained, the owner is able to meet its needs on the go, and nobody else is explicitly being bothered, there's no compelling reason to block it from any of these establishments.
All of the above hold true for therapy animals, for instance. This isn't about the animal being well-trained, it is about both the pet and the person to be comfortable and happy, without impinging on the comfort and happiness of others. Locking well-behaved pets out of all of the above establishments does nothing to improve your comfort or happiness. It only serves to inconvenience others.
Barring animals from places that sell food is not arbitrary and capricious, it's a safety issue.
Safety how? What exactly is happening between my dog that stays on the floor and your food?
How many people have suffered physical harm from ordering food adjacent to a service animal?
Am I google now?
There is a difference between a pet and a service animal...
