This sort of thing drives me absolutely batty. Because I think dogs are our co-pilots in this life (and we will see them in next life), I’m generally a believer that they should be allowed in more public establishments. If restaurants want to allow well-behaved dogs (as they do in many parts of Europe) customers who don’t like it can eat elsewhere. The same goes for beautiful chocolate labs working the register at frickn’t gas stations.

Via The Weekly Standard, I learn that Cody, a convenience store clerk who just happens to be chocolate lab at a BP gas station in St. Petersburg cannot work the counter because it violates the health code. Mother of pearl, maybe the health inspector should be more worried about the (hot) dog under the heat lamp since Lyndon Johnson was president.
