Went to grocery store this evening and took Pepper, my 2yo Golden Retriever. I leave the back seat windows down which is only half way while I am getting groceries. Got a call on the PA to come to the service desk about my dog trying to get out of the car.
If Pepper sees anyone in a 6 car radius in the parking lot she sticks out the window as far as she can wiggling excitedly like a puppy trying to get attention, but doesn't bark. People walking anywhere near the SUV come over, giver her attention, push her back in the car, then report that she is trying to get out at the grocery store's service desk. Pepper never jumps or falls out of the window. She is just happy to get attention.
This is a new grocery store. The one I used to go to closed. At the old store the girls that collect the cars just love Pepper. When they see me walk in the door they wave at me and go give Pepper attention under the guise of collecting the carts in the parking lot. If someone reported her trying to get out, instead of paging me the manager would go out and give Pepper more attention. They all seem genuinely disappointed when I went to the grocery store without Pepper.
Guess it will take some time to train the new people at the grocery store. Though they already seem like they like Pepper already.
