Poop Problem

I’m wondering why there are apparently no longer any doggy poop bags in the dispenser at Old Town Beach (and perhaps other village beach locales as well)? They’re essential, because this particular beach has suddenly become the go-to for more than the usual allotment of entitled slobs who don’t pick up after their four-legged friends.

Recently, I almost stepped in a pile on the main beach access path. Was going to pick up — alas, no bags in the dispenser. So I borrowed one from someone who happened to walk by.

Summer is officially here, which means the arrival of even more entitled slobs and their dogs. So, please, can whoever is in charge of the empty dispenser(s) rectify this issue?

And, by the way, to the entitled slob who runs along hitting balls to his dog with a tennis racket: Instead of using it to pile sand on top of your dog’s mess, and burying it, please bag it instead.
