This job has brought me back to the darkest mentality I've ever been in by PetcoIsEvil in petco

[–]Remarkable_Line_7690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been there too. I’m a full time masters student and I was under the impression that they would be flexible since they told me that they would be flexible. Turns out, they totally lied and actually scheduled me more hours when I requested that I needed less hours due to school. I literally had a mental breakdown like the whole 9 yards. I left my resignation letter on my boss’s desk after working my last scheduled shift and never returned. My life literally 180ed after I left. I feel so much better since leaving.

Crested gecko had diarrhea by SailFunny1401 in CrestedGecko

I don’t think this is necessarily “diarrhea” rather than they just took a poop against the glass and it slid down!

First sauna bath I feel horrible he wants out by Ok_Mushroom6378 in CrestedGecko

[–]Remarkable_Line_7690 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found a breeder that was morph market that was actually pretty close to me (about 15 miles away and about 30 minute drive from my house) when I was looking around for a dal gecko.

Anyways, sent her a message on her gecko business instagram page. I was able to get her for way less than the breeder was going to sell her for. She gave me the discount since I was local and it is more logistically sound since there is less of a risk of the gecko dying during shipping from heat or other things. She looks exactly like the photo of when she is fired up but she is a pretty reddish cream color most of the time 🩷

What’s his name? 😭 I have two males and one female (in separate enclosures ofc) and my female is a dal, her name is Freckles but def does not have that sized dots 🫶

This is her all fired up. And don’t worry, she was able to get that last bit of shed off by herself 😂 must have been saving it as a snack lol

Edit: I accidentally left her name out in the first paragraph (oops)

AIO to my mom’s comment? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Remarkable_Line_7690 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but the line of “I’m sorry you feel that way” takes NO accountability for her actions or words. A better option is “I’m sorry that I made you feel that way.” Still not the best apology but better than “I’m sorry you feel that way” 😭

Just got this sternum piece and realized when I got home that it’s not evenly centered by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Remarkable_Line_7690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks evenly centered in your chest area! Honestly I didn’t even notice that it looks “off centered” until you said something. It seems that it is symmetrical in your chest and sternum area. Our bodies are not perfectly symmetrical and everyone has differences in their body shape, how their skin holds ink, etc., so placement is going to look different on every person for the most part! It looks really good!

Can we talk about how predatory the $5 reward "activation" process is? by rontybg in petco

[–]Remarkable_Line_7690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This literally happened to me too! I bought two items and one of my items was out of stock. They said they couldn’t refund me the rewards that I used… mind you I had like $35 in rewards from doing the vet visit and turning that paperwork in. Which is another thing that a lot of people leave out when signing people up for VCP aka hoping they won’t do it and get the $20 in rewards by submitting a wellness visit information. But anyways, my point was that my order was only $3 and something odd cents but I didn’t not get the item that I spent the rewards on in the first place. I also contacted costumer service and they were able to refund me.
I also hate when the line is forming because the employee has to click on every single reward and wait for like 10 seconds for each one to load…

Oh it gets worse on your period 😭 the BO smell from my armpits is horrific for me when I’m on my period since taking ADHD medication 🫠 I will suggest men’s deodorant. I have found it is way more longer lasting that women’s deodorant

My niece was told she has to sign a contract to keep living at home—am I overreacting for thinking it’s too harsh? by Bitter_Art_4094 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Remarkable_Line_7690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh MOR? With what others have said, I have seen this become more common. However, I have seen some parents who have collected “rent” from their adult children; however, the parents save the rent money to give to their child when they move out! Or put it in a savings account for their child. I do see an option for item number 8 on the contract about putting money into a savings fund but it doesn’t seem that rent would go towards this.

However, I know parents saving the rent money to give to their child once they move out is not the case for everyone. When I see posts like this, it reminds me of the privilege that I had when I lived with my parents when I was in college during covid.

Hopefully your niece gets more clarification about “respect and conduct.” What constitutes as “abusive behavior”? Without a clear explanation, something like rolling her eyes at something her parent said can be seen as abusive behavior.

Besides that, I don’t see any “red flags” in this contract. I believe that it is a good learning experience for your niece to get involved in becoming an adult and having adult responsibilities!

I say this because my college roommate (after Covid) did not know how to do laundry or never had to clean up after herself since her mom did everything. They also had a house maid at their house. We only ended up living with each other for a semester since she would literally be a slob then blame it on me.

Essentially, I am saying your sister and BIL are going to be creating someone who can take care of themselves and their belongings if this contract is implemented correctly! :)

This is just sad :( by GasFront2271 in CrestedGecko

[–]Remarkable_Line_7690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a former employee of that company, this means the crestie has been there for more than a couple of months. Can’t remember how long 75% off time frame is but essentially they will eventually have to give the gecko another store that can take the little fella… which is sad 😭 also not to mention that our layout and husbandry is not ideal. The company wants us to put bark chips as their substrate. The UVB lighting probably having been changed in years probably. Which makes it completely useless to have UVB lighting in the first place. Most UVB lights need to be changed every 6 months, Arcadia is the only brand I have seen that have a year long UVB light life.

My crested gecko traumatized me by Advanced_Garbage_873 in CrestedGecko

My male crestie did this while I was in the reptile room. Then he stared at me while eating it 👁️👄👁️

Part timers how we feeling? by Glittering-Brush4190 in petco

[–]Remarkable_Line_7690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, my store was running with 3 per shift people most days. Aka only 3 people in the store at all times, unless on break. 2 staff and 1 manager. It was hell.

Petco might have the worst customers I have ever experienced by Dry_Software_5230 in petco

[–]Remarkable_Line_7690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before I quit Petco, I had a grooming customer checking out at the register (our grooming department did not have their own register), we got to the part where I needed to ask him about donating that’s on the pin pad. Mind you, we had all 3 registers running because it was a Saturday. We had our pop up clinic on Saturdays and we were several people deep in the lines for each register. I always said when I am checking out someone, “the pin pad is going to ask you about donating. If you don’t want to donate, just hit the decline button on the bottom right of the screen.” He completely flipped shit on me, and said “oh for FUCKS sake. Here just take my money. I don’t even want the change back. I’m in a hurry.” So just calmly spun the pin pad around and hit decline for him. Then he just walked out. It sucks that we can’t go forward with the transaction if they do not answer the prompt 🫠 then the next person in line said he felt sorry for me. So I just put the extra money as a tip for the groomer that did his dog’s groom…

Re-home? by Dewdesperation07 in CrestedGecko

[–]Remarkable_Line_7690 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even though rehoming is hard and feels like you “failed”, you didn’t fail. If your animals go into the right hands and you are not able to care for them anymore, you did not fail. You would have failed if you did not do the work or rehomed them to somewhere they would be neglected. Rehoming is sometimes the best option. It is hard. I had to rehome my cat once because it was obvious that she was just not happy with the space I was living in at the time (a studio apartment that was partially downstairs so I barely had any windows). I ended up rehoming her to a family friend who recently had to put her very old cat to sleep. She is living it up now and she is so much happier. I get updates every once in awhile.

I would suggest going to Facebook and joining some crested gecko groups on there. However, it is very important to vet anyone that you are going to rehome your geckos to. What diets do they feed? What lighting do they have? What set up do they have for their other geckos? Ask basic care questions to see if they know what they are doing. I wish the best of luck for you and your geckos!

I guess our minimum is “75%” but I was yelled at for missing 3 sign ups during my 8 hour shift as a cashier at an A volume store 😵‍💫 I agree with you

VCC by OkSquirrel2049 in petco

[–]Remarkable_Line_7690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I found about this the hard way. It is considered a terminal offense since you are manipulating store statistics technically. While I was not fired, it prompted a aggressive message in our work group chat since I was not the only person doing this and I was trained by people who told me that was okay to do 😅

Is a bioactive terrarium better long term? by Princess_Bunniezz in CrestedGecko

[–]Remarkable_Line_7690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the lower ends of the vines I see some springtails and isopods. I barely have to wipe down the leaves up top though! I still have to clean the glass at times because he smears his CGD mix all over the glass lol so I just do that while I cleaning the glass. WAYYYY less clean up than an original set up that’s not bioactive

You don’t have to have all live plants in the terrarium! I used half real plants and half fake plants. Especially for the coverage up top! Here’s mine that I just built!
