Boca Rudeton Is Back. The Rude People Never Left.
DELRAY BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — It’s been two weeks since our last installment but Boca Rudeton is back, full of rude, selfish, entitled, and just plain oblivious residents and visitors in Palm Beach County. It continues to be difficult to believe that these people are real — but they are. And they’re really obnoxious.
We start what is likely our final edition of 2025 at a Boca Raton area Starbucks. We were sent a video of this astonishing scene, but the freeze frame pretty much highlights what we saw in the video. While the oblivious man looks at his phone, his mega-dog jumps up to the counter, at one point actually licks a drink, then seems to be pushed back down by a Starbucks employee as the dog’s owner finally pays attention. As we’ve said before: it’s really difficult to believe that Starbucks is having financial problems.
At Starbucks at 1620 Federal Highway in Boynton Beach, this was another example of why the company is failing. No one wants dogs with their Lulu Lemon spandex and $8 cup of coffee. The company has a latte issues. You’re looking at one or two of them.
Let’s head to the Opal Grande Ballroom in Delray Beach. That’s where a Thanksgiving celebration was taking place, complete with a dog. Our tipster says the dog wasn’t supposed to be there, since food is being served and it’s supposed to be nice. As for its adult companion: apparently a turkey.
Chase wants you to believe that it’s an upper scale bank catering, at least at its “Private Client” offices, to a special type of customer. That special type of customer apparently has no problem putting a dog on a couch in the Chase Bank at Boca Del Mar. We don’t know if this woman thought there was actually some sort of a “chase” going on that her dog would want to be a part of, but we do know that our tipster found it shocking that no one at the bank said, “you know, maybe your dog shouldn’t be on a couch made for humans.”
You would think that reading comprehension would be less of an issue than it is in South Palm Beach County. After all, as we’ve reported before, the words on the gigantic signs in Publix are really easy to sound out. See if you can put these words together into a sentence:
That’s why it’s so difficult to understand why Publix shoppers continue to have so many problems. We start our Publix section of Boca Rudeton at the Polo Club Publix in Boca Raton. Never mind the huge signs that say “no pets.” It seems that neither the shoppers, nor the employees who are supposed to follow corporate policy and state law, actually care. Nothing says “Publix Clean” like “dog on Publix floor.”
Nothing better than fresh food, a sandwich, and a drink in Publix at 441 and Clint Moore Road than all of those things and a dog in a pink vest. We don’t care so much about the pink vest. We do care that it’s on a dog seemingly illegally in the supermarket.
The Publix problem continues with this man seen with a dog at the Camino and Federal Highway location in Boca Raton Raton. As we always say, maybe it’s a legit service animal that saves lives. Or maybe it’s a furball on a leash in a place where it’s not allowed to be.
Let’s go to Target in West Boca Raton, where our tipster wants to know why this woman needs her doggy woggie in the store. We don’t have an answer, and we certainly don’t know why Target would permit this to happen. Food is sold inside Target. That means this is either a highly trained service animal, or a woman who lives by her own laws and rules
It’s parking time now. We’ve narrowed lots of submissions down to two. Outside Joseph’s Italian Market in Delray Beach, the driver of this Kia apparently has a spatial problem. What other reason could there be for the driver of Kia Niro with Florida plate 50AUUD to take two spaces?
Meantime, we think the driver of this Ford Explorer with Florida plate DU98HW and an FAU sticker may have some learning to do. The scene: the Publix at 5th Avenue Shops in Boca Raton. The problem: a total and complete inability to park between the lines.
Who is our winner for this installment? It’s not even close. The man with the horse, we mean dog, in Starbucks. The dog that is jumping up to the counter and putting its nose on someone’s drink. To the dog’s owner, congratulations: you are a very special human being that deserves this beautiful trophy, below.

I am so glad these people are outed. They are horrible.
If you aren’t sending this video from the Starbucks store to Starbucks corporate and the health department, you are not serving this community. If not, Exposing these morons whose dogs are more important than health standards are just having them laugh at you! These people enjoy their five minutes of fame,
I like big girls gucci slides
While in Publix in West Boca Raton on 441 and New England Drive, a man walked in with a large black French poodle. The gentleman in the produce department and the young man behind the deli counter, looked right at him and said nothing. When I questioned the man in the produce department, he shook his head and said that employees were not allowed to say anything when people come into the store with an animal. What is the purpose of the law that no pets are allowed if the establishment is not allowed to enforce it. As the owner of two dogs, I would not think of bringing them into any store, especially a food store and it really aggravates me that so many of these people are doing it and getting away with it. I have had many an argument with people that I have confronted in some stores and they just don’t seem to care. If it is the law that no pets are allowed then it should be an obligation of the establishment to enforce it.
I agree non-service pets should be in only areas where they are allowed by law or by business owners. If the pets are ill-behaved,, they should be removed. In restaurants and grocery stores, definitely. In other areas not against the law, why not. Owners know what their pet can withstand and most owners have common sense.
Hello
Very interesting to see the “outrage” your paper expresses over a dog in where you don’t believe it should be. I will agree, if the LAW, not one’s opinion , bans the dog, then, it should be respected!
LAWS??? Observe how lawless too many Americans have become! I wonder how they’d tolerate that same mindset in their home or place of business??
I ask :
Has anyone ever caught a cold from a dog who didn’t cover its mouth when sneezing?
SOME of the dogs just might be legit service companions
I’ve lived in places and very POLITE CIVILIZED countries where a dog is welcome almost anywhere ! No one is “ aghast “!
AND, PLEASE! don’t say “ THEN LIVE THERE!” It’s just an observation for gods sake.
I love well behaved dogs no matter where they are, much more than obnoxious ,screaming humans of ANY AGE!
I have dogs, they’re family. I don’t bring them to stores , events, because I feel it’s not fair to them. And like a human parent, sometimes I like “me” time!
Again, people, THE LAW SHOULD be OBSERVED.
Though , Publix does permit OPEN FIREARM CARRY! Hmmm no dogs , but GUNS ARE OK!! Wow!!
Your rude parking pics are GREAT!
Too many drivers here ARE RUDE, DANGEROUS, AND JUST PLAIN CRIMINAL IN THEIR DRIVING HABITS, WITH NO CONCERN AT ALL FOR HOW THEIR BEHAVIOR AFFECTS OTHERS !
So much for this country’s alleged and declared “ Judeo- CHRISTIAN “ VALUES, WHAT EVER THEY ARE!!??
I WISH YOUD PUT MORE EMPHASIS ON BEHAVIOR WHICH TRUELY HAS MUCH GREATER POSSIBILITY TO KILL SOMEONE, like the plague of aggressive driving here!
Wanna reduce our insurance rates, among the highest in the country? Demand THE DARN POLICE DEPARTMENTS ENFORCE OUR ROAD LAWS! Less accidents and deaths EQUAL LOWER PREMIUMS PEOPLE!
Perhaps has math become subjective as well??
Let’s not ignore our laws, and prioritize what about what we should really be alarmed!
Your articles often pose the question: Why doesn’t (store name) enforce their own policy?
Allow me to answer this…
Laws regarding ADA rules do not require ADA handlers nor their service animal to display any ID, vest, special collars, leashes, etc.
ADA members are not required to carry any documentation.
Businesses and law enforcement are only allowed to ask two questions:
1) Is the dog required because of a disability?
2) What work or task has it been trained to perform?
That’s it.
The person can easily lie and still not have to provide any other proof.
Businesses and the police hands are tied at this point.
This is why stores don’t bother any further enforcement other than putting up a sign.
Until this grey area of the law is changed, don’t expect more from the business.
