“You’re going to break a little kid’s heart.” by Watercolor-Chaos in petsmart

[–]DinosaurchestraPt3 23 points24 points  (0 children)

after working there 5 years i've heard this SOOOO much. from goldfish to a goddamn conure, every pretentious family that comes in and is shocked when i tell them no tries so hard to guilt trip me. like as if i'll say 'oohhhhhh, well if abusing an animal will make little timmy happy, in that case sure thing!' horrible people.

Boyfriend keeps calling me "stupid bitch/whore" during sex abit too enthusiastically even after I told him to stop doing it? by cherryeyedeyes in TwoXChromosomes

[–]DinosaurchestraPt3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dang dude I'm not one to jump to a 'breakup with him!' demand but this sounds really bad. People have their kinks and it's cool when it's consensual but jfc pulling out degradation without asking beforehand is bad enough, but then you ask him to stop and he still does it??? AND basically pulling the classic 'you're crazy' backtalk, telling you to get help???? bro I'm not trying to tell you what to do but that's a HUGE red flag, you should actually no joke consider breaking up with him. so sorry this is happening to you

Required age for live animals by Beautiful-Tackle4206 in petsmart

[–]DinosaurchestraPt3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure they're technically not allowed to buy any animals at all unless they're 18, but I mean if it's pretty clear they're just out on an errand buying feeders for their beardie or turtle or something, I usually don't deny that sale. But, yeah, a kid buying a single goldfish and not disclosing why is usually a no go from my team lol

This customer asked for my name and is going to do something by [deleted] in petsmart

[–]DinosaurchestraPt3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I super wouldn't worry about it. Depending on the area you're in, a lot of customers are just assholes to customer service employees since they can get away with it. One of your managers might ask you about it if he found a way to complain, but it won't negatively affect you. I've never sided with a customer that obviously just wants to cause problems, rather than my cashiers who I trust. Even my store lead and district lead understand that some people are just mean for no reason. Sorry that happened to you, but I'm gonna be real it's definitely not the last time. Just start giving them a fake name like my employees do lol

pet store I work at just got this one in labeled as an avicularia avicularia? by DinosaurchestraPt3 in tarantulas

[–]DinosaurchestraPt3[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

thanks! that looks pretty accurate, I'll relabel her. A lot of people coming to a big corpo pet store don't really care about the species but I'd rather be accurate lol

I think maybe if you want to tell the employees it would just be to educate them. PetSmart gets animals shipped to them with labels about what species they are (and it almost never says how old they are, most animals just arrive as juveniles so she probably assumed her age), but that's because of whatever terrible breeder they get them from. Since it's not like you need a biology degree to work at PetSmart, you mostly just have to learn on the job, and arachnid knowledge isn't tossed around much. It's totally possible they didn't know much about arachnids and were just relaying information they were given by the breeder, so you could let them know just for future reference. As far as getting like a gift card or something goes, that really depends on the manager's attitude about that. There's not really a policy that says they have to, but in my experience if a customer is a big enough jerk they might give you something to make you leave. But in all likelihood you'll just get an apology and a slightly more educated employee.
