Feel good petco story!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I work at a PetSmart in TN and I "correct" care sheets all the time. I know more about most of the animals than most of the employees and all of the managers, so they rarely question what I do, unless it clearly violates policy.
 
Omg with the fish... I know!!!
I mean i am not nearly as good with fish as I am with reptiles but getting better....
we had a lady come in the other day looking at koi fish.... she asked me how big the smaller ones get and I told her they get really big. they are pond fish! and she says "oh so I couldn't keep one in a 5 gallon?"
WHAT!!??? did you really just ask me that!?
It is REALLY had to be nice to stupid people some times....
 
This is a great story...

Petco and Petsmart should be the guys promoting doing the research, but I mean like commercials overly done..stuff like that.. .. it would be much easier for you guys that work there, and in general get people to give a crap about what their about to purchase....
 
There is a flea market nearby here that sells all sorts of disease ridden and wild caught snakes. I wish I had a picture of how gross it is. They want $10 for black racers and water snakes and $20 for grey and yellow rat snakes. The last time I was in that area there were 2 dead snakes in one of the cages and I asked them if they had the permit to sell reptiles and they told me that you did not need one. If I see them again, I am calling FWC on their asses. Flea markets ≠ pet stores. These people are idiots. Glad your guy was not fooled though.
