Call me Polo-Necked Strip Mall Monkey. I am a slave at a pet store.
A custy bitch came into the store with her two teacup morkies on two separate 16 ft string Flexi leashes. She wanted to return two dog harnesses. "My morkies got out of them! How dare you sell dangerous merchandise!"
Of course the custy did not have a receipt. The manager handled the situation. She suggested to the custy that perhaps she did not fit them tightly enough on her morkies.
"No! No! I did!" the custy yelled. "They're defective! I heard it on the news that these harnesses have been recalled!"
The manager said that she knew the harnesses had not been recalled. She told the custy that the best she would do was give her store credit. "No! No! I want my cash back, because I will never shop here again!" But the manager was firm, and gave her the purchase price on a store gift card.
Custy pointed to a spot on the floor. "That is dog shit! Why don't you people clean it up?" The manager replied that it was a scuff mark that we were having trouble removing. "No! No! I know dog shit when I see it! This place is filthy! I'm going to report you!"
As she made her way to the door with her morkies, one of them pinched out a couple of turds on the floor.
Custy cackled and said, "HA! See - I told you so! Dogs shit in pet stores all the time!" and left us to clean up her morkie's shit.

I'm so sorry, I have also had the misfortune of working in a pet store and watching people just grin at me when their precious darlings took massive dookies on our floor. When we'd call for a clean up over the loud speaker we called in 'beautification.' "Can we have floor beautification on isle 6?"

If my dog ever pooped in a store (not that he'd ever try that) I wouldn't even think of letting someone else clean it. I'd tell them to gimme a sec, put my dog outside and then take care of that (PUN!!!) shit.

I wonder how many slaves who work in pet stores were tempted to throw the cleaned up dog shit at the dogs owner?

Is there any way you could ban her? That crusty just sounds like trouble that’s not worth having shop there , even if they claim they’re never going to shop there again.

Couldn't you have gotten mall security or something to force her to at least clean it up, or if she refused, to charge her with littering, maybe even vandalism?

NC Tony, as a long time Dog Trainer at a bigbox chain- you have no IDEA how often this crosses our minds XD.
What I've taken to doing is getting out public clean-up kits and handing them over to the owners with a big service smile and "would you like me to hold the kiddo for you?"
