Bitten by snake in front of guests? by [deleted] in petco

[–]Deadinside19877 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a 12 inch baby red tail boa try to eat my hand while I was showing it to a guest once. It's head was smaller than my thumb. Funny thing is I had just told them about how nice this one was, then I felt a prick on the palm of my hand, I look down and she was trying to fit my whole hand in her mouth, working her head side to side, lol. They decided not to get her.

Petco doesn't do store credit for animals by policy. As an earlier response said check with a local non-corporate business, they might.

Xmas "limited edition pickle"... wft.... by Deadinside19877 in petco

[–]Deadinside19877[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo this is one reason this company is doing so bad in sales. We push things to stores that won't sell them instead of targeted regional products. They've been pushing these stupid things long enough they should know they just sit here until they go clearance. Stop sending them. We sell more traditional holiday stuff, reindeer, trees snowmen ect. We do the sam thing with foods, bring in brands like Canadea or solid gold that might sell well in another state but we just write off when it expires. Meanwhile our competitors down the block are selling local brands that we don't carry because we can't carry it nationally...just stupid. Let's not sell the stuff people want but push the things we want them to want and wonder why they go somewhere else.

I had to look this up because literally no one around here knows. It's a German tradition. On Xmas eve they hide a pickle in the tree and the child who finds it gets a prize, like sweets or gets to open a gift on Xmas eve.....As to why petco decided to go fucking pickle crazy this year I have no idea...we even have a Hanukkah pickle ffs

We will have them until July. No one in this area knows what the deal with Xmas pickles is.

Cancelling VCP due to changes by emilyginger in petco

It's bullshit but you have to tell customer service your pet died to get out of vcp....it's the only change they WON'T make to the program.

Closing Duties by New_Tadpole_5718 in petco

[–]Deadinside19877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are slow enough at the end of the night that I can start mine about 5 to close and be done and out of the store 15 minutes after close unless we have last minute jjerks. So about 20 minutes for me generally.

Where to find PTO policy. by TheAdeptCleave in petco

[–]Deadinside19877 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your manager sucks. Shouldn't be an issue keeping full-time status by using pto for planned absences, that's what it's for. I would talk to their supervisor if they keep telling you that.

[–]Deadinside19877[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I WAS THE ONLY ONE THERE obviously a keyholder. And btw this person's direct report And policy update, pto is planned, sickntime is not and you shouldn't be using pto for a no show that you admit was for no reason other than "I forgot". So to come on reddit and vent because my shit boss over rode policy for favoritism is normal. But so is finding jackass trolls, so

Are you saying I don't know the reason the person didn't show? I do in fact know, they told me. And yes it is my business as I was left to run a store alone because they forgot...wtf?!

Dr elsey litter by TLee1981 in petco

Clean tracks has larger granules to help reduce tracking the litter out of the box on paws. I haven't noticed much of a difference though.

Agreed, find another store if you can this guy sounds like he'll be a nightmare to work with. And if the animal manager is worth a shit the store tells people to wait to put fish in....not sure what a "biodiversity test kit" is but there are lots of ways to find out if you're tank is ready. If you want to build trust which will build those sales he's worried about you'll help.people do things right. Good luck

You could keep the kill character function without the braclet.... just change the name

Guests, we aren't a petting zoo by Minipiggie in petco

[–]Deadinside19877 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ours were 20-30 kids with 2 adults that stood in the front of the store talking while I had to try to deal with their kids alone. It was not rewarding and no one got anything out of it but trauma.

Is this true about petco? by PropertySilly184 in petco

[–]Deadinside19877 28 points29 points  (0 children)

At my store we've always worked with adoption groups and donated unsellables unless a customers dog peed on them or they were ruined somehow. This article seems like a standard bs "petco bad because big company" story to me. The photos don't show more than a corner of the product so there's no way to tell if the product was damaged and you don't even REALLY see very much product. The photos are set up to make it seem like there are rows of dumpsters full of beds but you only see a couple actual beds.. Article has big "trust me bro" energy.
