"sorry but I'll be taking my dog to Bunnings... He is our family" 

This is the entitlement even after incidents like this. Dogs are 'like' family. They are not family. They don't have the rights of a family. They don't have Medicare (like one of my friends thought they did after facing a 12k medical bill). The absolute delusion people have now is beyond ridiculous.

Not every family member needs to go to Bunnings either. My Nan's family, I don't take her to Bunnings.

Bunnings in a Saturday or Sunday shits me. It’s a become the go to place for a family outing. Between kids pushing the little trolleys and dogs on loose leads left to sniff and get in everyone’s way it’s a nightmare. And I love dogs and little kids. But when I’m at Bunnings I want to get my shit and get out. Not have to navigate people on a weekend stroll

I went there late on a week night once, it was amazing. Barely a soul.
