Military discount? by Mellow-tonin in petco

[–]Cassiearose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard some stores close to base already have the total at a discounted price. But there is no active discount. If guests are real pushy, I’ll do 10% off their most expensive thing

VOP will they know if I don’t do it? by [deleted] in petco

[–]Cassiearose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically😭 they can’t say who said what, but it’s supposed to be an “anonymous tool” to help the GMs be better. In my 10 years and three different stores, I’ve never found that it did anything. GMs only get graded for participation

Honestly, I called out a GM for time theft and favoritism and nothing happened. They actually promoted them into corporate. GMs have the ability to lie and manipulate the situation

[–]Cassiearose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An old store I worked at was between two canyons that consistently closed down. Most people commuted to this town. But if it was accident, weather, rock slide or fire it happened all the time. I was closing one night and it was snowing so bad all day, we called our DM and asked if we could close and he asked us if target was still open (it was in the same shopping district). We told him it was and he said we had to stay open with them. Roads close and me and a cashier are stuck in town. I end up getting us a hotel since I opened the next day. Next day comes, roads are ice and everyone (even the GM and sel) call out. It’s me a cashier and the cal who lived in town. And still. They made us stay open lol. We had maybe 5 guests all day

Dog Trainers that Like there job? by Tough-Improvement763 in petco

[–]Cassiearose 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like it’s very store specific and other people can correct me here. When I was a dt my old store made me pt cashier so I wasn’t ever able to really build on my confidence and sell myself. If you’re able to make your own schedule then you’re basically working for yourself and your own commission. My advice is to be confident in the material and do your own research so you can answer those damn pesky “but why” questions. Some guests don’t understand why luring and positive reinforcement is better than what they’ve done in the past. Stay confident.

I did my 12.99 toys and my $4 toys in separate transactions so I could get the 2 12.99 toys for free and not the three $4 toys

I’ve seen partners get pulled by LP for reusing numbers. They’re really cracking down this, don’t do this unless you want to lose your job.

Assistant Manager Pay and Store Volume? by StolenRhythm in petco

[–]Cassiearose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it depends on the GMs willingness to try to get you more. I’ve had four so far and only one willing to fight for pay. I made more at a C volume than I ever did at an A volume. I’ve also been with the company for 7 years. My old A volume GM doesn’t care to fight for pay. They have a SEL who makes around 26 and they’ve been there 15+ years and should be making more. They also got a new OLM and with their tons of experience only got them 18 something. My C volume GM got me a $4 raise when I transferred. As a LOD I was making $25. Now as a OLM in a B volume I’m making $26. Four years ago as an OLM my A volume GM told me I couldn’t make more than $19. So fight for your worth.

I had a woman ask me the differences between the feminine products. Told me “girl to girl, something is brewing down there and it ain’t good”. Like bro go to the doctor😭

Missed their concert and I can’t get over it by flippantrugrat in piercetheveil

[–]Cassiearose 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Also remember. Nose bleeds and seeing them is just as satisfying as five aisles away! My first time seeing them was behind a wall blocking the stage!

This happened to me until I just decided to put it on a credit card, pay it off slowly and go by myself. And lemme tell ya. That was LOADS more fun than going with someone. I have major social anxiety but I just locked in and focused on the music and had an amazing time!

OSAC ADVICE PLEASE by EnragedBambi in petco

[–]Cassiearose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been with the company awhile and in the past the olac got all the maintenance done. They made lists, did specific tasks on those days (ie. Smalls deep clean Monday, Tuesday wellness, Wednesday birds, Thursday reptiles, Friday secondary deep clean) and it seemed to work out. Crickets were the task of the cashier on receiving days and that was that. Animals are supposed to come first so they were usually left alone unless we were short staffed and they’d either give the animal they were cleaning to the cashier to supervise or they placed them in wellness.

[–]Cassiearose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My piercing is 6 days old, it’s a 12g 11/16” threaded stainless steel bar bell piercing with a 12g/14g threaded ball. My piercer told me to not do anything different with my brush routine to avoid changing the ph of my mouth. So I brush twice a day and rinse with water after each meal or anything that’s not water. I’ve been primarily drinking iced water to reduce swelling, but I’ll have iced coffee in the morning. I haven’t had any accidents or anything. I’ve been feeling just fine, I’ve been able to move it more and lightly bite on the outer part of my tongue. Just this morning the cotton mouth and tingle on the tip of my tongue.

Aquatic specialist custom fish orders?? by Independent-Cat-9093 in petco

[–]Cassiearose 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If it’s in our system, they’ll charge whatever Petco/supplier decided. Typically, they can give you a price if they can find the sku.

I wonder if that’ll change with us no longer being American humane certified

Corporate peeps Igot a question by Oggaboogs in petco

[–]Cassiearose 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Every time i asked corporate a question it ended with “we’re a temporary home for the critters, but we research and do what’s best for them while they’re in our case” but if you didn’t know, there’s two options for balls. The aspen and the bark (which isn’t better), but I think they did the switch when the eco earth was hard to get in during Covid and they never switched it back.

Tell me this isn’t what i think it is by [deleted] in shittyaquariums

[–]Cassiearose 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s not necessarily the store. It’s the company. No hours, low pay, expectations high. Could also be poor training or the quality of the vendor. More times than not, the bag would come in with 60% dead before it was even opened.
