Why Are Texas H-E-B Stoppers Not Liking Seeing Animals In Store?

Per Chron, complaints have been rising online as of late. It's not just dogs that have been spotted roaming the aisles. A bird was even reported being spotted in a store at one point. The main concern is an animal around purchasable food.

H-E-B also provided a comment to Chron about the situation: "At H-E-B, we are committed to the health and safety of our customers...While pets are not permitted, service animals are welcome in our stores."

An H-E-B employee is allowed to ask what the person's disability is and what the animal helps with, but that's the only two things allowed. But on the other side, if someone tries to stop a service animal from assisting, they could face a penalty. So there seems to be no true way to determine if a person's animal inside a store is truly a service animal.
