@ Petco I couldnt take the it anymore.. you know why I think that no one working at petco knows about fish or cares about them is because half of the customers that come in dont give a damm about fisht they think that they are throw away pets.... I have had multiple customer complaints in the 2.5 months I have worked there because I refused to sell certain fish to people and refuse to order certain fish into the store... so no more after two weeks... its ok though since my old job called me back after laying me off for 3 months... so maybe you guys shouldnt be dicks to petco employees.... they try most of them just dont know crap...... I used to want to own my own store till I worked there and had to deal with customers everyday... you dont even know till you work somewhere like that.... granted there were very knowledgable cool customers but maybe 10% of all of them.... I am done ranting now I just think that maybe you guys shouldnt give the people there a hard time unless they are a cocky know it all that doesnt really know crap then give em hell.......
 
Remember your job will probably lay you off again next year, if I remember construction?? You know this I'm sure but I would look for a more regular line of work. I'm not your dad though so take it with a grain of salt.

I hear you though. I read something online about owning a fish store from an owners POV and it said he had two types of employees.. idiots that will work for 7.00/hr and don't know/don't care and employees who will work for 7.00/hr but won't be there long. I think there was a gripe about stupid customers in there too.

Anyways glad you're out of a place you don't want to be. No one wants to work a job they hate. BTW, I'm usually nice to the petco employee's as long as I don't have to wait 15 mins for service.
 
Trust me rottbo, Petco is not the measure of working in a fish shop. I have worked for Petco, and I have worked for many private fish stores. Petco is terrible, but LFS are the place to work. You get great customers, and have a lot of fun.
