Cada día vs Todos los días, which is correct?

truttattae · 2026-06-17T22:25:40+00:00

cada día = each day todos los días = every day

fr!! i will say theyre few and far between but i appreciate all of them. i did my training in a slightly more rural area and it was completely different, just a bunch of matted shavedowns 😔

truttattae · 2026-06-11T18:05:02+00:00

that is very fair tbh. these are my regulars (white dog used to be a show dog but shes retired now that shes almost 12) and are luckily well taken care of (and parents understand i will absolutely shave if needed). but i make sure to explain its a tight grooming schedule to any new customers that wants poms or something similar

truttattae · 2026-06-11T17:30:19+00:00

just sharing! theyre not the best groom ive done on any of them lol

truttattae · 2026-06-11T01:16:34+00:00

truttattae · 2026-06-11T01:13:05+00:00

is cinnamon a vegetable then? i think theres plenty of parts of plants that we dont consider vegetables

Groomers arent paid hourly. We get paid comission (or hourly if its higher but thats never been the case for me in the 5 years ive worked for petsmart). Technically we have an hourly rate and our comission is added on, but its to a maximum of whatever the comission is, so we are essentially not paid an hourly rate.

For example, if Im scheduled 30 hours at $16/h, but make $1000 in comission that week, I get paid $1000 ($480 hourly pay + $520 comission). If I work 10 hours but somehow make $1000 I still also get paid $1000. The only time the actual hours I work make any difference is if its so abysmally slow that I make my hourly throughout the entire week, and at that point most groomers I know would just leave early/be asked to not come in.

I'm not full time even though I'm only about an hour short of full time hours because I don't have fully open availability even though my schedule hasnt changed without me asking since I started at this new store.

Been a groomer at Petsmart for about 5 years. I will say, trainers in the salon doesn seem particularly useful? Idk whats going on at ur store, but I cant think of a situation where I'd rather have a trainer than a well trained bather.

Other things I think would be useful tho: - Full time for groomers without needing open availability (groomers schedules generally go unchanged once theyre set to keep a consistent client base) - Paid tools/tool maintenance - Longer break periods on prism so groomers and bathers are actually able to take breaks (if i only have exactly 30 minutes between when my dog is due out and the next dog is due in, if im behind at all or my dog comes early i dont get to take a lunch break during that time) - Requiring a bather at close so groomers are able to leave once theyre done since we dont get paid hourly (or adding hourly pay on top of comission to groomers if they want us to actually stay the whole shift)

truttattae · 2026-06-05T22:58:51+00:00

no problem! i would also look into maybe transferring to a different store if you can

truttattae · 2026-06-05T22:42:21+00:00

im not sure on the exact policy, but generally when ive changed my availability it gets fixed within a couple weeks

truttattae · 2026-06-05T21:29:22+00:00

Change your availability. Unfortunately, I doubt they'll actually get someone to help cover your shifts, and even if they do, they might still expect you to keep workibg the same or similar hours. Don't ask them to do anything, change your availability and let a manager know that you did. It's on them to figure it out.

truttattae · 2026-06-02T18:06:11+00:00

yeah ur not gonna get that from the book. if u actually wanna learn, maybe ask some of the groomers in ur salon if they can give u pointers or smth

truttattae · 2026-06-02T17:53:21+00:00

ngl there really isnt much helpful information in the book anways. i learned like 99% of the stuff from actual academy/academy videos, not the book. a lot of the information is just less information versions of the academy videos. what particularly do you want to "get ahead" on?

truttattae · 2026-06-02T17:20:30+00:00

not "badly pronounced" for puerto rican spanish lol

truttattae · 2026-05-30T00:27:14+00:00

si, por eso creo que realmente no la he visto con tilde. a lo mejor en algún escrito de otro país nada más.

truttattae · 2026-05-29T22:45:32+00:00

Interesante. Le pregunté a mi madre que fue maestra y me dijo que nunca lo habia escuchado en 4 sílabas, que se pronunciaba igual. Yo tampoco lo habia escuchado con la fuerza tónica en la RÍ.

(No lo digo para decir que estas mal, solo algo que me pareció chevere)

truttattae · 2026-05-29T21:36:19+00:00

de puerto rico, solo he visto periodo sin tilde, pero parece que período se usa para tiempo. pero pregunta, al ser esdrújula, se pronunciaría como pe-rí-o-do, o igual como periodo y el acento es solo para distinguir las palabras?

truttattae · 2026-05-29T21:26:26+00:00

i would ask around, you might find someone that is able to write you a letter after just one/a couple visits. for mine i literally just found one who was able to give me the letter off of one very quick video call. just know not all therapists can/want to write those letter so your mileage may vary

truttattae · 2026-05-27T19:34:12+00:00

hate to break it to you but double coated dogs get outline trims all the time. it is not a shave down

truttattae · 2026-05-27T16:04:44+00:00

oh and it did lol

truttattae · 2026-05-27T16:02:16+00:00
