allergies triggered in cafe

I am trying to work in a cafe this am. I know that it’s not reasonable to expect it to be dog free the whole time bc that’s just how the society works lately. That being said, the sheer volume of the dogs is insane. I took an antihistamine and used Flonase before heading out done. I The sheer volume of the dogs makes my eyes water, my skin itch, and my nose run like a faucet. People are looking at me like “omg she should go home,” but I have more of a right to be here than the pets do. At one point, there were over 10 dogs in here right next to me even though I deliberately sat in area that was more secluded. When I asked them to move because of my allergy, they looked so offended.

Eventually, I realized the amount of dogs present is partially due to the pup cup a la Starbucks this cafe has. I tried to support a local business, but it looks like I’ll be studying at home.
