A man who brought a service duck into a Buc-ee’s store in Tennessee has been banned from the chain, according to a YouTube video he posted.
Justin Wood brought his service pet, known as Wrinkle the Duck, into the store to shop, where he received a lot of positive attention from shoppers who wanted to pet Wrinkle and ask about her.
Wrinkle stayed in his stroller for most of the visit, but would occasionally pop out to give interested onlookers a high-five with his beak.

As they entered the store, an employee approached them and informed them that the only animals allowed in the store were “service dogs.” “She’s a service duck,” Wood replied.
They were allowed to continue working until a second employee told them, “No pets allowed here.”
“Okay, but she’s a service animal,” he said, adding that you can show three types of identification to the store to prove that. They were allowed to continue shopping until a third employee told them, “Unfortunately, your animal is not allowed in here.”
“There are no pets here. Even if they are considered a service animal, the owner must be able to contain it. It could jump out,” she added. “If it was a dog, it would have to be on a leash.”
“Can I put a leash on her?” he asked, and the employee said it was okay. At that point, Wood attached an imaginary leash to Wrinkle, and the duck continued to follow him around the store.

While he was shopping, an employee informed him that “the police were outside.”
As he leaves the store, a police officer approaches him and tells him that he is “asked to be barred from the store,” and that it is, in fact, all of Buc-ee’s locations and that he will be prosecuted. added. Whether he is caught by another duck or not is a crime of trespassing.
The officer reminded Wood during a friendly exchange that it was not his decision.
“Who likes Buc-ee’s?” Wood said in the video. “He doesn’t love us, and that’s okay.”
With a shrug, he added, “She just made everyone there happy.”
Wood said at the end of the video. “If something doesn’t work out, it’s not an adventure… Whenever you have a few downs, you know there are some uphills waiting around the corner.”
Buc-ee’s pet policy states, “The health code prohibits live animals, including dogs, that could potentially contaminate food. However, service animals and animals working with law enforcement are prohibited. There are exceptions: People with disabilities require specially trained service animals.” “They play a vital role – enabling people with disabilities to work, travel, stay safe and, in some cases, stay alive.”
