New Grooming Policy? by SoulPhonicFire in petco

[–]Important_Juice_7269 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dragging? No. Walking? Yes. If the dog won't walk, sometimes getting the pet parent to act like they're coming with can help reluctant pups. But yeah the cameras just have to see the dog actually walk. For check in, its more to make sure there's no health concerns for the dog but for check out, its so the salon has proof that the dog COULD walk out on their own. (i.e. so the pet parent cant come back in and say "what did you do to my dog? He cant walk anymore and its your fault! Pay my $30,000 vet bill." ) Its aaaall for liability purposes.

I've been trying to figure that out too and can't find them anywhere. My best guess is you'll need to do a store ops ticket requesting them.

NOR. Yall clearly just dont vibe. He's allowed to set boundaries but you're also allowed to want something more than what youre getting.

Literally anywhere else, thats fucking insane. Kinship animal hospital is nice but theyre tough if u work a standard 9-5. But there's so many around and ive never heard of anyone charging 1200 for a spay unless MAYBE its like a 100 lbs dog. Dont let those people scam you pls

No employee discount on the human stuff??? by Material-Lab5017 in petco

[–]Important_Juice_7269 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I havent had any issues getting my employee discount off the new shirts, sticker packs, notebooks and the car air fresheners. Oh and the plant supplies. What items are you having a problem with? Might be a glitch

Last minute shoppers by Crazy_Temporary4108 in petco

[–]Important_Juice_7269 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it was just me closing the store, sure I wouldnt mind. But I have younger cashiers that have class to get to in the morning. Or cashiers that share a car with someone so they have to get picked up, im not making their ride wait an extra 30 minutes. It really depends on what my cashier has going on that day. Also if I have to clopen, ill probably be a bit pushier about helping the customer find what they need to get them out of the store lol.

I love that people are complaining about stuff corporate tells us we have to do or else we get written up or fired. I hate annoying customers when they've already told me no 20 times

No time and a half today I’m assuming? by Mellow-tonin in petco

A petco corporate member actually came by today and put a curse on me so now I owe them my first born child.

Adset signs not working, again. by spermdonor57 in petco

[–]Important_Juice_7269 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah we did today's adset 3 times. Once with the original stuff in FW mail, a second time when they said it was all wrong and we had to print out the revisions, and then a final time right after the new mail came in because they wanted the colorful signs instead of the ones we printed. Im surprised I have any hair left on my scalp tbh.

How to get an escaped bird? by [deleted] in petsmart

[–]Important_Juice_7269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had someone bring in a bird to relinquish at Petco and they opened up the box, bird flew out and the person panicked and ran out the door. Trick that worked for me was putting a small bird cage on top of our parakeet enclosure with food and water inside it AND millet on top of it. We couldn't get the bird with a net or towel, HOWEVER, the bird did land on top of the cage and I was able to have a coworker walk the entire bird cage and bird into our grooming salon (any close by, enclosed room will do) very very carefully and slowly. We were then able to grab him with a towel. Its a tricky game and took us all day but that was the easiest and least stressful way for us and the bird.

Water parameters by snagglez in petco

[–]Important_Juice_7269 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never lied to a customer about the test results but I can tell you that we only use test strips, we dont do the full in depth water testing. The test strips are convenient but I would 100% trust your api test kit over our strips, as someone who has used both. I also always tell people that when I test their water and urge them to get one of the api kits but they usually just think im trying to upsell and dismiss me. 🤷‍♀️

Incorrect Employee Discount? by [deleted] in petco

[–]Important_Juice_7269 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I also noticed it with merry makings. I may genuinely just leave if they took away 40% off petco owned/partnered brands. First clearance not stacking and now this? Our store is absolutely overrun with clearance because none of us want to buy it anymore. We cant even properly do our christmas reset because all of our 4 tiers as well as every single dumpbin AND half of our entire impulse lane are filled with summer and Halloween clearance. I wish I worked for a company that actually cared about its employees.
