you really shouldnt knock all petcos. i work at one, and the people i work with are extremely experienced with animals and we all know our stuff. you shouldnt make an assumption if you have a bad experience at one store out of a chain.

But i find that most customers will boycot me. Cos im only 16 and look young people asume that i know nothing
Oh well easier for me
I walked into a nice LFS one day and saw a kid who was around 9-10 and was explaining why you need to cycle aquariums to an older couple kid sounded like he know as much or more then me ( age 16 )
Just remember your never to old to learn something new

long story short, she refused.
the kicker, there was a RUBBER MORAY EEL IN THE FEEDER TANK
LIKE AN AQUARIUM SOUVENIER
IDIOTS!!!!
She said that she's not allowed to say anything. She kinda understood that its bad. The thing is, the employees aren't allowed to do anything. They can only do what they're told to do.

ill admit, there are definitely some people that work at petco that have no idea what theyre talking about. they should probably just stay as cashiers. but from my experience (including the people i work with), most employees walking the floor asking people if they need help know what they are talking about, or else they wouldnt be trying to help.
Guy walks in. "I'll buy one of them sucker fishes." "Sure thing, I'll get it for you fast as shamwow. But I must ask first- do you have a large fish tank, around 100 gallons, you see these innocent sucker fishes get nearly two feet long." "Why I had no idear...

yet at the very same store you got the stoner dude who works same fish dept who just thinks everything is all good
go figure
I think it really depends on whos workin where
