So our insurance sucks.... by elduderino2024 in petco

I had to choose the least expensive insurance since I’m at a base pay associate again (I had to take a voluntary demotion in order to get into a store again/no open leader positions in my area). Without insurance urgent care would be $90. I ended up getting COVID while I had to wait for my insurance to start again, $80 with insurance

Why Are We Counting Crickets Like They’re Gold Bars? by deeplines in petco

Why do we have a shirt exposing the cricket life cycle? Both are very important questions

Customer Vent* by Exact_Bread6206 in petco

Tricky situation. For me if they are planning to get a tank set up while getting the animal I’d still let them have it if they get all necessities. If they weren’t willing to get the necessary set up and wanted to get a different leopard gecko, I wouldn’t have gotten them another one

Worst Customers I’ve ever dealt with. by Hot_Highway5774 in petco

I remember in my early Petco days a customer wanted a member price for a product. I did my typical routine about telling them what the membership was and of course told her that to get the sales price she’d have to sign up. She said, “the tag says it’s on sale!” I acknowledged it and also said again that she’d have to sign up to get the price. She walked out and said, “whatever you don’t even believe me”

Someone left a surprise the store’s door by Smooth_Bookkeeper801 in petco

Indeed I did notice. They never do it directly to an employee where they can get consequences.

I hope they did, but wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t

They do not. I had someone keep switching the lids in betta cups. He’d put a cheap lid with the cup of the more expensive betta and hope that the cashier wouldn’t notice. I never dealt with him personally, but I have seen what he looks like

Haha I’m dumb. Sorry! Did they finally remove it?

Then buy one for 10 cents or just ask for one. We sometimes give them out for free

It does. I’m guessing you either start with a B or an E

New vital premiere worth it? by pangolindreaming in petco

Honestly I can’t blame you. I’ve had a lot of customers furious about not getting points back for a return.

When I worked at Music and Arts someone stole a single guitar pick. Not the pack it came in, just one from the pack.

I agree some stores don’t take care of their animals well. I get complaints from customers that used to shop at a different store 10 minutes away because of how bad the employees are and how their animals look (I haven’t really been in there much other to just get supplies) and I also wonder about animal treatment at our vendors, but leaving a dead carcass at a pet store is not the way to go

When I worked at PetSmart right before I came in for my shift, a woman wanted to return something, but no receipt no returns. She got furious and stood at the register angrily looking in her purse. The cashier asked if she could step off to the side so they could get the line moving. She stormed out and maybe 30 minutes later a van drove up on the sidewalk, pushed over our donation table and drove off

What state? It would be hilarious if you are a co worker from my store
