In the macro that’s absolutely true about gatekeeping etc. Stating that only jerks would care about this particular issue (as it’s a victimless crime) is (as far as I can tell) in direct conflict with the reality of situation.

I’m centering people with service animals, are you?
I have a dog (literally my display pic), whom I love. I promise you that this opinion isn’t just a vessel for my dislike of seeing dogs places.

If true then everyone should be able to bring their dog everywhere a service animal is currently allowed.

It’s complicated but this is probably federal jurisdiction. The feds operate the hydro dams and I believe the fisheries in the OR/WA section.

I feel like we’re both living in places where this kind of thing’s ubiquitous, and other people aren’t?

I have to pay full fare for my toddler, and you can pay to have your dog transported most places. The actual accommodation in most cases is service animals traveling with you free of charge.

That’s the question that was originally posed. All I said is that in the hypothetical where people were fragrantly violating this norm, I think the social impact isn’t limited to the act itself.

I’m not though. In the hypothetical that did happen it would be antisocial behavior right?

A significant number of people who indicate this will tell you that they just checked that because they wanted extra legroom, a bigger room etc.

I coordinate group travel for a living and a large part of my job is accommodating people with disabilities. Am working on the labyrinth of paperwork regarding bringing a service animal to Australia currently. When people indicate that they need accommodation, have dietary needs etc we reach out.

Using disability accommodations when you don’t have a disability would be antisocial behavior, no?

Hence why I said worse outcomes for everyone involved. I don’t know what you think we’re arguing about. These sorts of norms being load bearing and important is completely consistent with any theory of police abolition etc.

As it should. To expand on my original point (of which this was but an example), these sorts of norms are load bearing and when they fail the alternatives inevitably become a more formalized system of enforcement which is a way worse outcome.

Yes, I bring my dog to Home Depot and it was a great place to socialize him as a puppy.

My point was the whole structure here relies on people not lying, because doing so is antisocial and shameful. My contention is that the violation of this social convention is happening with increased frequency, which you’re free to disagree with.

I didn’t, that’s my point. I’m not talking about a singular incident, it’s that this is ubiquitous at my local grocery store for example. Have seen obviously untrained dogs lunging at people etc.

My point wasn’t that we need more enforcement, the opposite in fact. It’s that our society is built upon things like being able to take it at face value when someone says they have a disability.

No issue with it at all, this was just in the context of people seeking accommodation and how the abuse of that has made things harder for those who need it.
