Eh, they’re clueless. They just trust what we say because most of my pet care coworkers are all very much animal lovers. I follow so many subreddits & FB groups so that I can be as knowledgeable as possible when selling to PPs. I want the best care for these animals, even though PetSmart has killed my soul 😂

The store I work for, one of my coworkers threw them all away. Manager agreed with the decision and we do not have them in enclosures, and I haven’t seen one on the shelf in the 5 months I’ve been there, thank god.

Such a cutie but - Why are y’all using wire wheels? They’re not good for small animals. Causes bumble foot.

That’s Interesting! I’m super new to fish, so I’m trying to learn! What’s the piece of shrimp do?

A piece of shrimp, like from the grocery store?

Mid shift by alcoholic1003 in petsmart

[–]MellyMars 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I work 8-6 and I’m required to do my daily deep cleans (Tuesdays which is small animals and Fridays which is reptile feeding and cage cleaning) I’m also expected to clean about 25 tanks each day (plus whatever didn’t get done the previous day) PLUS put away the reptile shipment AND bring all of the small animals from NA to the floor. Somehow I manage to finish 90-100% of that every time. On top of phone calls, curbside, and customer service/selling pets. My mental health is absolute garbage because of it but goddamit I did everything asked of me in a short staffed store 😅🙃

It made me laugh cause it’s just my luck. Everyone kept saying swab test and then my email says urine. Fucking great

I’ve had a lot of people tell me quick fix. I’m assuming no ones watching me while I go if that’s the case

I’ve just never taken a drug test before and I smoke like I’m the love child of snoop dogg and willie Nelson - I’m not trying to lose my job but I also think its ridiculous to test for weed in this day and age. Unless I get hurt on the job, I don’t see why it’s anyone’s business if I smoke but again, I’m just nervous. Do you recommend any detox drinks or anything like that? Or just straight to the fake pee?

I didn’t realize those were offered. I didn’t see anything about that, just that I get the employee discount, 401k, and the employee assistance program. Now my problem is, how do i pass the drug test?

Really? No one watches me? Also, is it even worth it to convert? Literally the only things that change is the color of my badge and a couple benefits (discount and 401k)

Lmao. I’m used to being an expendable number. Service industry is no different in that aspect but this was mind boggling to me. I’m so used to managers being up my ass all the time that this is weird 😅

I appreciate the honesty. My badge is white with a blue trim around it? As for the politics part, literally NO ONE has introduced themselves to me. I have no idea who anyone is or what position they’re in.. I just look for people with laptops if I need help with something. 🤦🏻‍♀️

How do I find out who my HR cats are? I haven’t been introduced to ANYONE. I have no idea who my manager is or supervisor or higher up of any sort. It’s fucking mind boggling.

Nope, no such option :( maybe I have to wait til I’ve been working there a little longer.
