God Love “Season.” The Rudeness Returns For Sunday…
BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — After a week off to cheer the Philadelphia Eagles to victory, Boca Rudeton returns like a northeasterner who truly believes all of Palm Beach County is on vacation 24/7 because we have beaches. Welcome to the latest edition of Boca Rudeton. (And quick note: we are way behind on sending out tee shirts, but they are being processed. If you asked for one and have not yet received it, we apologize for the delay).
We start with the featured image sent to us Sunday afternoon. It’s the Walmart in Boca Raton where the photo speaks for itself. Proving again why dogs aren’t supposed to be in stores where food is sold; the dog left something behind for everyone to enjoy. According to our tipster, the dog’s owner couldn’t have cared less. It takes a special type of person to bring a dog into a food store, and a very special type of person to ignore the dog when it decides to defecate. Lady, you are a special, special person.
From Walmart Boca to “Just Salad” on Linton and Federal. Our tipster couldn’t believe the dog owners had the audacity to bring the dog into a salad restaurant, but our tipster apparently doesn’t spend much time with rude people in Boca Raton. We don’t know if Just Salad did anything about the dog, or may rename the store to “Just Look The Other Way.”
Moving on to “Muddy Waters” in Deerfield Beach where the photo also speaks for itself. Sure, it’s outside. But do you really want to be sitting at a table where a dog was at mouth level while standing on the booth where you — or your kids — may be sitting?
To Trader Joe’s in Boca Raton we go with this couple clad in green with a dog also wearing green. It’s not the green we care about — it’s the dog in a supermarket. That’s not legal. Unless this dog is officially trained to provide a lifesaving task (and maybe it is, although probably not from its perch in a stroller). Repeat after us: no dogs in food markets.
Laspada’s Hoagies on Glades Road is our next stop where the photo above shows a realtime health code violation. Dogs are not supposed to be in restaurants. Which makes our tipster ask “why is this dog is in a restaurant?” And “why didn’t the restaurant didn’t do anything about it?” Good questions…
Now we have Blondie at the Publix at Linton and Jog. Never mind those huge signs that say “no pets,” this woman apparently felt entitled enough to bring her dog inside the store. Our tipster asks why Publix isn’t enforcing its own policy. We’d like to know, too. We wonder if she realizes that it’s illegal to bring your non-service animal into a supermarket in Florida, and it’s also illegal to lie about training that your pooch may or may not have received…
It didn’t take long for dogs to move into the new Whole Foods in “Uptown” Boca Raton on Glades Road near U.S. 441. This woman is just one of many violating policies and laws by bringing her dog into the store. Glad to see Whole Foods is keeping its customers safe — and food protected — by vigorously enforcing dog policies. Not.
From dogs to table hoarders. We travel now to Narbona — the Italian Restaurant in Boca Center on Military Trail in Boca Raton. That’s where this group of four decided to take a table that was being used for reservations. Part of the problem is the poor management of the restaurant itself. Waitstaff — after confronting the group once — did nothing according to our tipsters, then completely ignored the fact that these people were sitting at a table that hadn’t been cleared. That can of Sprite? It’s not theirs. The plates? Not theirs, either. Never mind that the restaurant was packed. These people just took the table and couldn’t take a hint. But they do take the cake (or Gelato) when it comes to representing the spirit of Boca Rudeton.
Let’s move on to parking. We have a huge number of submissions, so we apologize if yours didn’t make the cut this week. We’ll drive over to the Dunkin at Yamato and 441, where this BMW with plate CHUKWGN — seriously — decided to rustle up two parking spaces for the one car. We don’t know why.
At Duffy’s in Delray Beach, this Audi was seen taking two spaces. Perhaps the driver of the car with Florida plate 59FEFW thought that the goal is park over the center lines and not on the side. And this is apparently before the person went into the bar.
And we’ll wrap this week with the SUV with Florida plate GPTD34 parking directly in front of a “no parking” sign at a Starbucks in Boynton Beach. There are no words. Other than the words “No Parking or Standing – Fire Lane.”
So who is our winner? We know this obvious winner is the dog pooping in Walmart, but it’s too obvious. So we will go with the people who took an uncleared table at Narbona Boca Raton so they could eat ice cream while others waited for reservations. It’s a special type of “Boca Rudeton” to believe you’re so entitled that you don’t need to wait for a table while others booked reservations in advance. And it’s not just the foursome in the photo. It’s the Narbona staff that our multiple tipsters say kept looking the other way when they saw the group sitting at the table full of trash — yet never realized that the trash came from the people who legimately were sitting there before. To the customers — and Narbona — we offer our upcoming guide: “Restaurants: how to manage them and how to dine in them” It’s full of information like, “here’s how you make a reservation,” “here’s how to know if the people at the table are actually your dinner customers,” and “how to manage your restaurant so you actually have tables available to the people who booked reservations.” Narbona and rude Gelato-eaters: perfect together.

I am an avid dog lover…but I would never take me dog in restaurant or food store. It’s time for all of us to loudly and rudely calling people out and calling the establishments that don’t enforce their own rules.
How about recruiting a smoker to have a smoke in any of these places? Wait outside until a dog goes in, then strategically get in a spot with the dog very nearby, and lite up a cigarette or cigar. What would management and shoppers do about that.
The poop story was just awful. Creepiest person ever. Gosh. Dog poop smells so bad. And what if somebody stepped on it. The dog outside doesn’t bother me if the table and benches get washed for the next customer. But I was reminded of a few things that happened to me. What about the people who honk as soon as the light turns green. I once had someone cut in front of me at Publix. I also had a woman give me a little push when it was my turn in the Walmart return line. At Mizner, a man asked me to pull up, so he could share my parallel parking spot. And lastly, two women sat down at our table at Town Center Mall, and ate their food. None of us said a word. It must be something people do in NYC. lol.
If I walked into a store, and a woman was walking in front of me with a dog, and dog crap on the floor, I would have a hissy fit. First I’d turn around, find the manager, and let him have it. I’d ask him where in his manager rules let’s dogs in, and do their business on the floor. After that, I’d leave and file a written complete to the manager of everyone about what happened in that place. I’d send them a picture of the incident. After that, I’d write the health Dept. with the same complaint, along with pictures. I have found that written complaints work best. Afterwards, I’d never go to that store again.
Why isn’t anyone including store personnel calling the cops? These people should be fined.
It’s expected at Walmart, so Narbona wins. Didn’t they have recent significant health violations?
People have lost their minds.
Animals do not belong in grocery stores PERIOD.
Just call the cops. Maybe if they get cited they’ll
Stop
I did not see one of the fur baby being dii dirty you people have an awful lot of time on your hands to take pictures of the four-legged babies people taking a table and parking. What do you do for entertainment besides criticize everyone else I see a lot more dirty, two legged animals than I do four-legged ones and supermarkets and restaurants, picking up food taking bites out of them blowing their nose on the and then wiping the table with goin the ladies room, fixing my hair, see people go into the bathroom come out and not bother to wash their hands. See people try to walk out of the store constantly and steal stuff never seen a four-legged puppy do that so tell me, who is the animal?
I agree that bringing dogs into an eating establishment should be toned down. I am an animal lover. A lot of establishments allow pets no matter if they are service, emotional support etc. The issue I have is people not caring and if there pet has an accident in the store not cleaning up. They do this while taking their dog for a walk. People stink no matter if you are in Boca or any other state or city. People in general feel a sense of entitlement and most have no social skills. I see it on the daily. Driving, working, in stores etc.
Many times I have been in grocery stores with less than 10 items to check out. Any many times I have seen people with much more than 10 items going to the 10 items or less aisle to check out. About 50% of the time, the cashier will take the items, while I am waiting to legitimately check out with less than 10 items. Again, it shows the entitlement of people who think the rules don’t apply to them.
