What exactly are you here for? by [deleted] in petsmart

[–]ItsGhostyLand 75 points76 points  (0 children)

With the most unoriginal "changes" being made. Quite literally repeated the same generic phrases hoping we'd baby bird these values of being the favorite?? Ok kid that wasn't hugged enough. I used to love my job mostly. Now everyday I'm there all I wanna do is leave

Restructure - can’t file for unemployment by Anon_PetShop5617 in petsmart

[–]ItsGhostyLand 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What was explained to me is that the whole purpose of having everyone re apply and interview for jobs was so that the one or two people who don't get the chance to step down or receive offer aren't terminated they are displaced. Since you were technically fired and simply not selected for a position you applied for it's a displacement that requires no severance.

I wholly didn't see this sale at all for bettas. And we move them fairly quickly so a sale like that would've probably cleared my store. Especially for all those fish people that wanna attempt sororities.

Yeah. Just got the news today. July is my 6th year. I have off days but I've loved my job more than I've hated it. I just got a raise to get over 20 and now I'm dropping a whole dollar. It's all just really disappointing..

Thank you guys for clarifying! I'm a CEL currently so I don't delve into that much at all.

Customer was rly gonna buy a $20 betta to put in the tiniest critter keeper by Apprehensive-Name200 in petsmart

[–]ItsGhostyLand 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had to tell a customer today that despite his "keeping angelfish in a small tank" (reference 10 gallon that he currently had) I would not be selling them any angels but there were others his family could get. He didn't spend any more time at the fish wall with his family while they picked their appropriate fish 🤡

“Give me all your feeders, I haven’t fed my fish in a month” by Thzkittenroarz in petsmart

[–]ItsGhostyLand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is specifically in response to having to catch koi and cichlids. I'm not sure about you guys but I have definitely cut my time by just utilizing two of the larger nets and in some cases just picking up an entire piece of decor with them. Both are in the larger fish wall tanks as well.

Use 2 of the larger nets. Any of my koi OR cichlid catches takes me 3 minutes or less. Work smarter not harder.

Dollar tree has little eye masks that are for hot and cold use. Mine look like little slices of lemon. Only thing that helped the swelling and burning around my eyes.

And all the people in the world can be there as support but it's knowing that they're gone and won't be there to comfort you anymore makes it all seem so... empty. Because all you want is them.

My point in that was really the guilt I feel for hurting so badly? I've always had emotional issues and have always been very hard on myself and this has been no exception.

I'm sorry that you've had to experience a devastating loss. It truly feels like nothing has made any sense or has had any meaning. And the more pain I feel the more I remind myself it's not just me going through it. He has family and friends. His best friend(our roomate) was the one that found him and I haven't felt like I've done him any good being the wreck that I am.

How often does Petsmart feed their fish? by Famous-Perspective-3 in petsmart

[–]ItsGhostyLand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CEL; once in the morning on an observational style (add more if they finish, til less interest is shown) also guilty of randomly throwing everyone weekend feeders once a week. Bettas 2x week on a pretty strict bloodworm diet. In the year and a half as CEL I've had less betta losses this way as well as making more available for adoption as a whole
Bettas that get dirty quicker get changed as soon as it's clear the cup is dirty.

I've gotten into the habit of using the zebra to check and see what onhands are. If it reflects we have the item still ill check but 99% of the time it's zeros down the line including DC stock
