ROSS DRESS FOR LESS (24302)

Stars because I found something I like, lack of stars because of the below experience. If you are planning to come here with your dog because of Ross’ policy of allowing well behaved, leashed dogs, read on I frequently take my service trained pitbull to dog friendly locations to advocate for the breed and socialize him so he is well prepared for any experience. Ross and its various stores, such as Marshall’s and TJ Maxx, are all dog friendly to well-behaved and leashed dogs of any size. I took my dog back to the pet supplies section to grab some treats and, funnily enough, in that exact aisle there was an employee that didn’t realize we were there for about two minutes. When she did finally notice, she turned around, saw my dog, and screamed. He was sitting politely waiting for me to look over the shelf, but she still got into a verbal altercation with me telling me to leave the store because my dog is big. I informed her of the company policy and that her opinion does not override that policy, and just because she is scared is not a reason to ask a paying customer to leave. I confirmed the policy at the checkout and informed the people up there of what happened and they apologized profusely, but if you happen to patron this particular location, make sure to bring your big, scary, trained dogs with you and take advantage of such a wonderful opportunity to socialize your misunderstood dogs while you shop, and hopefully teach this particular employee about breedism and discrimination against dogs that don’t deserve it.
