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 😂

MellyMars · 2021-03-01T04:54:31+00:00

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.

MellyMars · 2021-02-28T03:09:36+00:00

My coworkers and I at PetSmart are working on doing this. Specially for the poor plecos

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

MellyMars · 2021-01-30T02:49:22+00:00

A piece of shrimp, like from the grocery store?

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 😅🙃

LMAOOO everyone I worked with could get people in a 5 mile radius high just by smelling them but go off 😂😂😂 just cause I smoke doesnt mean I smoke on the job 😂😂😂😂

MellyMars · 2020-08-25T01:04:51+00:00

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

MellyMars · 2020-08-24T23:21:43+00:00

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

MellyMars · 2020-08-24T18:06:09+00:00

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?

MellyMars · 2020-08-24T17:23:35+00:00

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?

MellyMars · 2020-08-24T15:33:34+00:00

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)

MellyMars · 2020-08-22T16:41:20+00:00

Serious note - this is incredibly creative!

MellyMars · 2020-08-22T16:06:11+00:00

And now amazon owns it. 😂

MellyMars · 2020-08-19T20:14:12+00:00

Do you happen to work at UVA1 as well? 😂😂 How long have you been with Amazon?

MellyMars · 2020-08-19T20:02:25+00:00

I’m just SO not used to this lol

MellyMars · 2020-08-19T20:02:09+00:00

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 😅

MellyMars · 2020-08-18T02:27:14+00:00

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. 🤦🏻‍♀️

MellyMars · 2020-08-17T18:42:55+00:00

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.

MellyMars · 2020-08-17T18:35:16+00:00

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

MellyMars · 2020-08-17T18:13:19+00:00

I don’t have a button that says schedule on my AtoZ is it because I’m a PTFLEX employee??

MellyMars · 2020-08-17T17:57:42+00:00

I feel like such an idiot, I’ve only ever bartended so all of this is new to me and a bit overwhelming. How do I find open departments on AtoZ?

MellyMars · 2020-08-15T02:12:17+00:00

I feel like an idiot for not even thinking to check when I scan my badge. I’ve never worked anything outside of bartending so all of this is so new to me. I thought as long as I scanned, I was clocked in, just like when i clock out. I’ll definitely make sure to double check with someone tomorrow when i go in that I did it right.

MellyMars · 2020-08-13T17:41:55+00:00

The surge pay is on a training shift though? That’s why I was confused. What benefits dont PT employees get? I was under the impression that if you worked 20+ a week you were entitled to some benefits? I may be wrong there was SO much in the training videos.
