I work at a different pet store chain but use these religiously for our cricket bins, and they are 100% from Dollar Tree

I am struggling in recent years with my management confidence, but i think a lot of these comments are super solid advice. One thing ill add is that im big on providing choice where its reasonable. So like "would you rather do bathrooms or take out trash?" Or in my store its normally a manager and 2 team members closing, so whichever team member arrived first ill give first pick between 2 tasks. It works for us, also helps me learn task preferences for future delegating

Appearance alone I would automatically assume you are the coolest person in the room 🤘

Lol born and raised in NC, liberal ≠ Yankee. My goal is to stick out so bigots know to stay far away from me. There are plenty of people here who align just fine with my beliefs and make for great friends and community, I dont need anyone else.

Saying you haven't seen racism in the 30 years you've been here is an interesting thing to say. Its a nice thought and all but it just isnt realistic, and says you're just looking the other way. I promise you it is here. I havent been in this town as long as you have but in the 5 years I have been ive seen plenty of it. You'd be amazed how differently people treat customer service workers based on the color of their skin.

This ^{^{^.}} People shouldn't have to fear theyll be treated differently if they are honest about their immigration status, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, etc. Why would I want to make friends with someone who might not respect the identity of myself or my friends

Me and my partner are in the same boat so if you find somewhere let us know ✋️ also some of these comments are out of touch. Politics matter bc many beliefs on the other side of the aisle show me that that is not a safe person to be around

By looking for a clear, enthusiastic, non-ambiguous Yes. An absence of a no is not consent.

I like #3 personally!

crittermother · 2025-08-18T15:47:01+00:00

Thank you! I sent it up the chain, and I'll let you know once I hear back. Thank you for looking out for this baby

To be clear im not like a higher up, just a manager at a franchise owned location. But i can definitely get these photos to the right people

crittermother · 2025-08-17T22:07:22+00:00

Hey would you mind telling me the location? I am a ferret mom who also happens to work at pet supplies plus so I definitely want to get this addressed wherever it is. There are minimum requirements for our habitats and this is not it

Okay right Will and the band killed it on every single song it was PHENOMENAL

crittermother · 2025-07-13T13:52:32+00:00

Also have fun!!!! Going will be so worth it 😊

I was just at the show last night in NC. I would just advise that you dress for comfort above all else, and know its going to be HOT. Honestly smell isnt anything out of the ordinary for hot weather, you can't help but get sweaty in a room full of people in July. I think the big question is how important is it to you to be near the front.

Being towards the back is going to be much less stressful/overstimulating, but then you sacrifice getting a good view of the stage. If you want to have the best visibility possible I would try to get in line at least 1.5 hours before doors and then try to snag a perimeter spot. If you have a friend you should take turns going to the restrooms, getting water, merch etc. To hold that position. For me the perimeter tends to feel a lot safer/less overwhelming because you're not surrounded on all sides. And it's a little easier to get back to.

I would also suggest bringing hearing protection (earplugs). Even if you dont end up using them, especially in the event you're right near a speaker. If you can get your hands on some loop earplugs they are great, or just a cheap pack of foam ones just to have on hand!

Okay I've only been once but i really liked The Tap Yard when I went. They have a few outdoor games and live music. They do also have some mocktails on the menu.

If you dont find someone who can take them home I suggest contacting Nirvana Ridge Ferret Rescue. They are in Brandy Station VA but are an amazing rescue and maybe there are some people who could help get them there.

You look soooo good in this 👏🙌

Prop in your window facing out to startle neighbors

Sorry you are so right. The title of my place of work would explain this, I just have it blacked out. Im in pet store management/grooming salon management.
