A man comes into the store with a blue tick coonhound. I excuse myself from the family I was helping after making sure all of the rats I were with were safe to ask the man what he needs. He's looking for food with his dog, and the family I gave a rat to was picking out their toys, when the littlest girl dropped the travel carrier. I almost sobbed as the rat and dog broke free and ruined my store. Long story short dog ate the rat in front of horrified children and knocked down all of my shelves.

Customer comes into my PetSmart, says she usually gets her fish at Walmart but decided to come here instead because we know what we're talking about. She buys three guppies for her twenty gallon, and after I finish bagging them up, she adds "And I guess I'll take ten of the goldfish too, they're so pretty." I cringe and proceed to explain that the goldfish won't do well with the guppies and would need a much larger tank, or a pond. She, of course, goes "Look, I just want my fish, I don't need you telling me how to take care of them." I apologize and explain that we unfortunately cannot sell her the fish because the tank size is far too small. (At this point, my store manager is behind her waiting to see if he's needed.) The customer immediately flips me off and storms away, telling me that she's going to go spend the money (all $2 of it) at Walmart instead, where the employees "aren't a bunch of smartasses". My manager immediately walks up to me and goes "What the fuck."

It was two minutes before closing and a group of teens come in and head for the fish wall. Just as I go in the back I hear one of the girls,
“That goldfish is awesome! I want it!”
I go in the back to hide, my heart sinking. I turn off the lights and take out the trash and go back out.
The oranda she is looking at is a beautiful white and red, small pom-poms, and 5-6 inches from wren to tail tip.
She is waiting by the fish wall with a one gallon bowl, probably as big as the fish, and before she says anything, I tell her if you get that goldfish it is not going in that bowl.
Her face drops. “Well what sized bowl will it go in?”
I tell her a 20 gallon tank and walk away. I don’t feel bad. There is a sign on the fish tag saying minimum tank size is 29 gallons.

Customer: My cat had kittens and we can't take care of them.
Coworker: Here's some information on some local shelters you can take them too.
Customer: Okay. *leaves and drops the kittens outside the door before running to their car*

Customer: Hi, can you show me where the shock collars are?
Me: [cringes, then dies a lil bit inside when I see they have a lab puppy in their arms]
Me: Is it for this little one here? :) :)
Customer: Yep! :)
Me: Shock collars don’t normally work with puppies, because they really don’t understand what the shock means. Is there a specific issue you’re trying to curb him from? We have a dog trainer on duty who could probably give you some helpful ideas!
Customer: Okay sweetheart, why don’t you just show me the shock collars? >:[
Me: (i guess this is what I get for selling my soul for minimum wage…)
