If your PET is SMART...he won't come to PETSMART on a Saturday night.
On our way out to eat (and critique), we had to stop and get some dog food for the most precious, wonderful, perfect baby-dumpling on the face of the earth. This is the closest pet store to us. We go here quite often, but on this Saturday night, I must say...it sucked. No, let me restate that...IT SUCKED!
There were approximately 6 people in line to be checked out.
Of course the lady who was first in line had some kind of ISSUE (don't they ALWAYS) (I can only imagine that her goldfish died & she got a free replacement, but standing at the counter she remembered that the old fish had just eaten, and not one to waste anything, she proceeded to perform cpr on the poor fish in hopes that the food would shoot out of his mouth or his little fishy ass, so that she could recycle it for her new fish)(OK, thats prolly not what was happening, but at least you get a SENSE of the situation)
There were 2 registers open. The 1st one had ALL OF US in it. The second one had 5...yes I said FIVE workers standing around talking. There was also another worker standing near the register pushing a squeaky toy back & forth on the peg board, not even attempting to "look" busy)
My observation of DO NOT SHOP HERE on SATURDAY is because of this situation. ALL the workers were teenagers. It obvious that the older workers with seniority do not work weekends. But the kids do. It just seems like PetSmart would be PeopleSmart enough to know that young/new workers need management & guidance.
(My friend says that we are old biddies and young whipper snappers irritate us no matter what they do)
I will visit this store again & give them the chance to prove me wrong. Until then, my eyeball down stands!
PetSmart gets an EYEBALL DOWN from JudgedByJody!
i do work there and i will tell you that they do have alott of teens working on saturday nights=)or any other day, and just to throw it out there next time go scream at the manager to get off the phone(in the office), and take care of his store........
