Long story short:

I lost my temper at the lady in charge of the salt water setup.

Normally I never buy anything there, but when I'm shopping at Choices (wonderful health food grocery store) next store, I'll stop in.

So I saunter my way over to the SW setup. All the pumps are off. Almost everything is dead. This is around 3pm. I feel my temperature raise to boiling.

I walk over to the front counter where three staff are laughing and chatting away. I ask them what's the deal with their tanks, do they really not care?

Lady 'acts all suprised' like 'omg whats gone wrong'. Runs over to the display tanks. What's the first thing she does instead of finding out why the pump system stopped? Cracks out the hydrometer to check the salinity.........

I said some very not nice things I somewhat regret. I had a run in with the same lady a couple months before when I asked her why they feed lettuce to their crickets in their reptile displays. I knew the answer, but I also know lettuce has almost zero nutritional benefit to reptiles....

*sigh*

Why are some businesses aloud to continue on day after day with pride in what they do?

i was once so ****ed off about thier saltwater section i called the big boss of alberta and told him id work 1 or 2 days a week,i didnt care about how much he payed me and id spend all my money in thier store if he let me run the saltwater, i only had 10 years of managing a retail store so i guess i wasnt qualified cause he didnt seem to think anything was wrong with it.
he also didnt know what the problem was when i told him you cant keep lionfish and snowflake eels in open top tanks a foot and a half off the ground

Anybody else here work for them at one point and time?

i havent worked for them but i have some friends and co workers work for them in management. Slave drivers, definately not an exageration that you are expected to work 12-16 hr days on a 8 hr salary. Petcetra management is the worst job in retail, period.

yay! PetCemetary is gone!

You got that right Diana!

Just think of all the marine life we could take off the endangered species list if a few more mega stores would drop salt water livestock.
