Hey yea money is money, but did you see that other guys post on here about working there? or i might have been petco i don't remember but the managers didn't care how knowledgeable or helpful you are just do whatever you can to make the sale! which is BS he said he got yelled at because a lady wanted to by a JD and a pacu for a 40gallon! and he told her that she can't since the pacu grows so big. then he got fired for yelling at the manager 
well anyways good luck!
well anyways good luck!well no matter were you work.. you dont yell at your manager.. just not somthing to do, i do remeber that thread, and the thing is when i went to my interview i had assumed that they would try to get me to do anything for the sale, i expressed my knowledge and pretty much gave off this cocky vibe of "i know my $hit and im gonna do it right" and they kept fireing question reguard fish and size and tanks, i feel pretty confident that there should not be any discrepincies over better judgement of fish, the manager is a business major and already told me he duznt know much about fish.
good luck and hopefully you can spread some knowledge!
If you stay there long enough and become the manager then you can yell at people who don't educate customers!

Awesome dude, I love Petsmart. Just take it for what it is, which is a wonderful store that sells at GREAT prices. As far as the people there (I have NO problems with them) if YOU think that you know a lot about fishes then why would you let someone else bother you.
They way I see it is that Im pretty knowledgable so if someone tells me something I dont think is true or right then I just laugh to myself. Theres no sense in getting mad or thinking that a person is an idiot. Im sure they are telling you because thats what they know according to their knowledge. They're just people too.
I've always wanted to work at Petsmart too. But I am also a fulltime student who also works fulltime. Maybe if Im not taking any classes during the summer I will apply as a side job.

Yeah, he should have gotten written up as least, cuz thats not good BUSINESS.
Its like you go shopping and the store clerk says, "Dont buy clothes that fit your kids, because you kids will outgrow them."
good luck.. my local petsmart isnt the best place for knowledge, but what they lack in the brains on the fish department they more then make up with the eye candy! lol...if ur single, i hope ur store is the same, if ur not..well good luck haha
hahaha well there are a few girls there, one im pretty sure is a lesbian.. no offense to any lesbians out there.. she just looks kinda like a more feminine justin bieber. the others are alright lol
