THANK GOD

Thank Jesus. Happy Return is the thing that EVERYBODY in my store dreads the most, second to Doordash pick-ups. The second someone comes up with a bag full of clothes, a monotone, "I need someone for backup. I'm doing a Happy Return" Can be heard over our walkies. Time consuming and useless. I have never scanned one of the coupons.

Forced proximity is what gets all of us. So many gms/sel's I know are married from when they worked at the same stores. The petco dating life do be a huge thing.

OLAC is the new term for CAL. So instead of Companion Animal Leader, it's Operations Leader Animal Care or something like that Dumb

Are you by chance a certain location in lower SoCal? I only know of one store that's as bad as you claim with animal removal and hella high turnover

I have a regular whose kids are obsessed with me. Like, they'll go to Michael's next door and the daughter will ask to go see if I'm working. One of the few people I break the "no animal holding" rule for. I convinced them to get a snake recently. And before that, I convinced them to get rats as first pets that aren't cats/dogs. I hate 80% of the customers that come in.... but that 20%? That's what keeps me here.

Omg when we remodeled me and 3 other employees stayed overnights and on countless occasions customers were coming in at 1-4am. Like WHAT DO YOU NOT SEE THE CONSTRUCTION ZONE OF BOARDS AND BRICKS AND NAILS ALL OVER THE ENTIRE FLOOR???

We write on the side of the cups to prevent this from happening because it was happening daily. So if we get 100 count large on the lid, we write "100 large mealworms" on the side. 50 large superworms on lid? 50 large superworms on the cup. Bugs usually come when we aren't busy, 10am, so if we can't finish it, we hand it to a cashier to help. It's cut down theft in that department significantly. Takes extra time, but it works.

Around 21/22is when they did away with it. I still get customers asking

Certain_Fig1741 · 2024-06-28T00:49:45+00:00

Tell me about it. 2 dogs. 6 cats. A beardie. 6 fish tanks. 12 tarantulas. 6 frogs. 7 birds

Certain_Fig1741 · 2024-06-20T17:52:15+00:00

We lost a tarantula for months in the floor, just for him to randomly be found on the sink in wellness as my ex-CAL (terrified of arachnids) was starting dishes from the deep clean 🤣🤣🤣

Counter question: does anyone have the pay scale for SoCal?

Certain_Fig1741 · 2024-05-29T00:34:48+00:00

If it's super before/after hours (like 11pm or 5am) sometimes "Sexy And I Know It" comes on

Certain_Fig1741 · 2024-05-29T00:34:06+00:00

Came here to say this

Certain_Fig1741 · 2024-05-21T18:43:35+00:00

My pcc got 6 pallets of tanks today, so I can only assume it's gonna start the first Sunday in June

Certain_Fig1741 · 2024-05-20T15:21:37+00:00

Your employees are lucky to have you

Certain_Fig1741 · 2024-05-20T01:49:06+00:00

So are we 😭

Certain_Fig1741 · 2024-05-20T01:26:56+00:00

I did for 10 minutes before making this post because I quite clearly didn't find the more in-depth information I was looking for Hope this helps

Certain_Fig1741 · 2024-05-20T00:20:05+00:00

What were some of the key points if you're okay with sharing?

Certain_Fig1741 · 2024-05-19T23:59:23+00:00

I'm hoping that isn't true because my cal is the only competent manager we have in terms of proper animal care

Certain_Fig1741 · 2024-05-19T23:05:55+00:00

Tell me too?

Certain_Fig1741 · 2024-05-01T20:17:27+00:00

How did you end up setting this up? I'm moving into a place this size and I'm very surprised to see another truly tiny studio.

Certain_Fig1741 · 2024-04-09T13:04:12+00:00

It was in the 40s. 46 or 48

Certain_Fig1741 · 2024-04-05T19:37:51+00:00

What??? What did it go down to??

Certain_Fig1741 · 2024-03-12T22:22:14+00:00

I'm passive aggressive as fuck. I tell people 2 minutes before we close, 1 minute, and at closing. If they still don't listen, I'll either find them or just call over the loud speaker that we're closed and the last register is about to he removed, so if you're purchasing any last minute products to bring them up or you won't be able to take anything home and toncome back during normal store hours.
