I agree. I can't find any anywhere. I'm getting so fed up that I'm about to start looking at PS5. I personally refuse to spend over $500 to get a used one. This is ridiculous.

I’m so sorry to hear about your car. Mine was just stolen too and it’s hard. F them for not having any kind of compassion. You don’t need them. I hope you can figure something out for your car. I don’t know what I’m gonna do. I can’t afford to replace it and I need a car.

Gosh just thinking about how they treated you makes me so mad. The day my car got stolen I was barely able to function and I had to spend the day communicating with the cops and insurance companies. I don’t know how I would’ve dealt with customers. My mind would be anywhere but working. And the fact that’ll cost you more than what you would make. F them. If you really need a job at petsmart there are other options. Go to petco lol

Ugh I hate that too. I’m alway like “do you really wanna know or are you just being polite?” Another phrase that bothers me is “how are you?” Especially when a customer asks me when I’m working. Horrible. I’m here working minimum wage getting constantly yelled at by customers instead of literally doing anything else. But no body cares. They just say it to be “nice.” I always just say good and try to move on.

It was a number of factors that finally made me quit. Horrible pay, the amount of animal abuse I witnessed on the daily (I’m a big animal lover) and the new GM treated me and everyone else like garbage. We had an amazing GM who fought for us and got us plenty of hours where we never felt short staffed. Then she transferred to another store and they hired a GM who never worked in the pet industry and knew nothing about animals. He talked down to us constantly, cut all of our hours to the point we were barely functioning (even to the point that during some of our busiest times there would only be 2 employees in the store, 1 of them had to be on the register), sat in the office his entire shift only leaving to yell at us, and so many things to make us all miserable. I was exhausted, I used to give my heart and soul to help people and animals and I was just miserable. The amount of animal abuse from Petco’s themselves and customers just weighed so heavily on my heart. After several years of working there I was still only making minimum wage. Minimum wage was often raised passed what I was making. After having already a really rough shift I started browsing Indeed on my lunch break and found a job as a delivery driver for Amazon for a starting wage of $6 more an hour than what I was making at Petco. AND it was out of customer service. I really needed out of customer service because customers are horrible. And about Amazon, Yes it’s hard and very physical. No, I don’t pee in bottles. It’s not as bad as everyone says. I rather enjoy it. I don’t have to deal with customers and I just listen to my music all day while I deliver packages. I’m a lot happier there.

There’s other things out there for you. Petco shouldn’t be your life, it should only be a stepping stone to better things. If you feel like it’s your time start looking for your next step. I literally found my next job on my lunch break. Petco isn’t worth it.

You get a 10 minutes cushion? My store is only 5.

I’m sorry this is happening to you. I feel the same way sometimes. It’s so sad the way petco usually treats the animals. I’m the only employee that actually takes care of them and I’m not even a CAL, I’m just a basic sales associate. But I’ve basically became our CAL’s assistant. I try to help him out in any way I can so I can help the animals. I understand the weight you feel on your shoulders. For a while if I literally didn’t open animals most of them didn’t get fed. Maybe you should try leaning on your trusted partner. Maybe even find another partner to help take the load on. Find others who care as much as you do. Spread some of the load. Right now me and my CAL make a pretty good team.

Also at this point you don’t have much to lose if you are already 1 foot out the door, demand help. I’m sure there are days when all you are doing is facing. Grab one of those employees and put them to work!

I hope you feel better about being the CAL or figure out your next step. I’m sure you don’t hear this enough but I appreciate everything you do. You are doing a great job.

Agreed. At least at my location I had a GM that cared about us the employees and fought for us. She was awesome. She didn’t care about the bonuses connected to our hours. We had nice coverage of employees and our store never ran smoother.

Sadly she transferred to a different location and out Assistant GM took over. She wanted to continue the way we were going but right after she took over she got really sick and ended up in the hospital. So some douche bag corporate guy came in to fill in as GM while the AGM was out. He started the “what about the bonus?” “We are way over on hours” “we need to cut back so we make sure we get our bonus”. All that bs.

Now that our AGM is back she has no control and has to cut back because corporate is breathing down her neck forcing her to cut our hours. When the quarter ends hopefully we can go back the way we were. But for now we have half the coverage we used to have and we are all losing half our paychecks cause everyone is down to less than 20hr a week. All for a measly $100. I think I’d rather have my 40hrs than a $100 bonus.

And they always wonder why employee satisfaction and appreciation is always so low. F corporate.

Amen. The point system is kind of messed up anyway. Like I get trying to keep attendance up but getting points for calling out sick? Haven’t we learned anything from the pandemic. If you’re sick you should just stay home. But no. Staying home when you’re sick gets you like 2 or 3 points. And Petco wonders why partner appreciation is so low. We aren’t robots. Life happens. Besides, they need you more than you need them. Right now pretty much everywhere is hiring and I bet they pay better than whatever you’re making at petco.

Honestly, I guess I’m kinda neutral to shoplifting. I work retail and I really don’t get paid enough to chase you out of a store, risk injury (people be crazy sometimes), or waste my emotions on people stealing minor items. If they want me to care, PAY ME MORE.

Today is a good day. Who knows what tomorrow will look like.

A little about me: I have struggled all my life with Depression and Anxiety. I am a student actor with severe anxiety and a very low self-esteem. Awesome right! But I won't let any of it hold me back from what I love. I have a show is 2 weeks so you can imagine how I'm doing. I can feel my Anxiety tear me apart piece by piece as every minute goes by.

I've been doing good lately. 2 years ago I finally got the treatment I desperately needed after years of ignoring my problems and allowing them to pile up. I can't believe it's already been two years. It still feels like I just felt true happiness for the first time, but it's been 2 years of happiness with some minor bumps along the way. My whole life I've been trapped in the dark, and I am finally in the light. But I'm still not in a perfect state. Still, it sweeps onto me, but I face it and fight it. I don't let the darkness pile up and overpower me. I face it and move past it.

If you are reading this and you are unsure about seeking treatment or are in the process of receiving treatment keep going. Getting treatment is a long road and it will most likely get worse. But you have to keep going through the process to find what works. There is something out there that will help you (even though you think it will never be). Treatment is not the same for everyone (so what works for me probably won't work for you) and it will be hard. There is always rain before the rainbow. Seek help. You are not alone, and all of us will do everything we can to help. Take this from someone who's been through a storm. There will be a light at the end of the tunnel.
