Had a customer put their dog on my belt the other day and the dog's butth0le was right on it.
So my question is should I warn the customers that don't put their produce in a bag that their cilantro, peppers, apples, etc. is right where a dog's butth0le was?

What you should do is spray it and wipe it. Any of the kinds of cleaners we use should be enough to sanitize whatever germs might be on there. And the wipe down will remove anything mechanically (i.e. potentially worms or solid matter). Really, those belts are not going to be all that sanitary to begin with, it's always a good idea to keep them clean periodically but, caveat empor and all that.
(Short story, no, don't tell them about the dog butt. Nobody wants to hear that!)
I would have told her to get her damn dog off the belt. You could always tell her your're afraid the dog might get injured. The dog shouldn't even be in the store in the first place.

Best answer.
We're not allowed to say anything negative to the customers or else we'll get fired. Managers never back us up and the customers know it so the customers just do what ever they want.

People take their dogs into the store all the time. I don't think even one of them has been a service dog. But nobody, from management on down to the security guy, never says a thing. And at this point, I don't want to be *that one guy* who apparently just hates dogs and starts a confrontation.
Besides, if we start saying that the four legged dogs aren't welcome in the store, we might have to start weeding out some of the two-legged kind as well.

The most amazing thing to me so far has been seeing a little girl ride into the store on her bicycle.
I don't know how she got it there, what the parents said, or what happened in the store because I was on parking lot duty at the time and grabbing carts to take inside.
I know they weren't there for long and got all the groceries they needed. But that was one of the few times I wish I had actually been there to see if she had actually ridden through the aisles.

Then they turn around and say: "dogs, except for service animals are not permitted in the store due to safety and health reasons." During store meetings. So one would THINK we could politely tell them.
HELL NO! If we so much as even THINK that much less say it, and the customer gets wind of it, WE'RE the "bad guy" because it'd be a "casualty" if we didn't get that $.99 candy bar.
