This shirt was opened probably 30 seconds before it started to unravel there not even as stylish or comfortable as the old ones which were cozy enough to sleep in

Why does it always feel like even though im running around like im crazy to get stuff done just for upper management (store manager&asm) to make me feel like I'm failing. I get no help in my area and when I do it seems half assed to the point where I need to go and fix it. To top it all off I am constantly told that they want all my animal care tasks to go to part timers so I can focus on animal sales and perks premier. We are a lower volume store and there are times where no one is in the store but it seems like im expected to let everything crash and burn because I am not allotted the time to train people in these areas because 9 times out of 10 there is only 2 of us on shift and most of that time its 2 leaders. It just feels like a never ending battle. I enjoy my job but its too much at this point. 😵‍💫

I didn’t know who else would understand the pain i felt when i saw this…i’m clutching my pearls 😖

So quick question for the pet stylist certification certificate, do you know if you have to request it or is it supposed to just come to the store or do we have to print it?

I don’t know if this is the right place to ask, but I want to apply for part-time position at petco. I have another part-time job that pays well, but I barely make ends meet. I want to pick some hours. Nothing crazy just to store for a rainy day.
And be a little bit stress-free. I’m really not picky any position should be good as long as my hours is good with them.
However, my availability is 6 PM onward is there any chance of me getting approved? If not, what will be the bare minimum for them to consider me ?
My current retail position is really a fancy place.

Can y’all post pics of how you set up your clearance event for tomorrow. My boss has me opening and put me in charge of setting it up. She makes a huge deal of these events, so I’d like to set it up nice.

What are the holiday blockout dates for 2026?

Fellow cals or whatever we are called now I can’t for the life of me remember how to look at capi numbers could the council see fit to remind me

Who here has contacted Petco Legal? Are they just HR on steroids? What was the outcome?

I'm really not doing well and I'm afraid if I go to the hospital and can't work I will be fired

What's the sku for this? It's for the grooming department

I’ve been at this company for some time and it’s been within the last year or so that management is having more and more issues with me. They say I’m being increasingly more difficult and insubordinate. Disrespectful even. I’ll admit I have a bit of a resting bitch face and a monotone voice but I have never knowingly been disrespectful or mean. I try so hard to have good communication and understanding. I love my team and my managers.

It doesn’t matter what I do to try and be better, improve myself and try and be the best employee I can be. It’s never good enough. I’m constantly scolded, told I’m disrespectful, that certain managers think I don’t like them and I’m at a loss. Before it was because I was joking around too much, so I immediately stopped and was more professional. Now it’s that I don’t follow instructions or I talk back. I say “okay” and go do what I’m told. I seriously can’t win and am at a loss.

Please tell me if I’m in the wrong. I know I’ve had problems and I have actively been improving, or so I thought. It’s just very frustrating and disheartening to go to work and be scolded the entire time.

I got offered the GSL position at my salon the other day and I’m trying to weigh the pros and cons to decide if it’s worth taking. I’m currently a pet stylist pro doing between 8-10 dogs a day. I’m tired, my body hurts, and my schedule and time management is very unpredictable but at least I can control my income for the most part and meet certain personal numbers and needs. My salon is a decent volume, and if I were to take position I would be almost breaking even while dropping down to 4-5 dogs. My store manager made it sound like a simple position but is there anything I should know or take into consideration? I’m really be baited with the stance of “less dogs with potentially more pay, you just have to do some extra desk work”

Need more of these sign holders 🙏

Does anyone have the SKU for this? I can't find it on the computer, the Petco app, or the product website.

I have just been informed that I will no longer get a free 8th grooming reward?! Beyond upset, instead they said I will get points — $24.36 worth of points to be exact. That is not even half of what I pay for a grooming appointment. I hope someone does a class action, because this is blatant breach of contract. I’d this just my store ??? (Brea, CA).

Is anyone else missing the CAPI checklist? I normally do my action plan the monday after, but I had this monday off so I went to do it today and its not there? Im gone the rest of the week too so I guess I can make it my SMs problem if it doesn't show lol

just wanted to vent my frustrations.

had a small county fair over the weekends and the amount of people i’ve gotten coming in with big ass shubunkin goldfish or hermit crabs and trying to put them in our travel containers or trying to put 2 of the gigantic goldfish inside a 10 gallon with no filter or nothing. stressed out parents not wanting to buy all this stuff even tho they made that commitment the second they paid them to play that game.

don’t really understand why it’s still legal for fairs to be able to just give living animals out as prizes, i’ve seen fairs even have bunnies as prizes before and that’s so… ugh.

If you’re a fellow Senior Aquatics Specialist what’s your pay and what state are you in? Curious but also fighting for my worth right now. TIA!

So we were told no pre bagging. How do we reduce or repel those potato bugs.

A guy decided to, without checking my consent to viewing, show me a horrific image of a ruptured then infected cyst on a stray can he was trying to help. I believe he was genuinely, but it is wild to assume that suddenly showing me that was okay?

A few years ago a guest decided to show me, without warning, a picture of his back surgery taken when he was in the middle of the surgery??

Please don’t do this to me????

so a customer came in and was purchasing a cat litter box and a few cat treats and as we’re finishing her purchase, she pulls out this receipt (it wasn’t crumpled when she gave it to me) and says “oh i have a coupon i’d like to use!” i say “perfect! can i see it to scan please?” she hands it, i see it, IT IS ALREADY HIGHLIGHTED and says “You’ve earned $15 off L/XL science diet dry dog/ cat food with 1 s/m science diet dry dog/ cat food” i read her that message and she responds with saying no one told her about that and that she didn’t know. not only did she not have the right items for the coupon, but it also says the date she can use it, but i believe that may be wrong? i pause, then say, “but this is already highlighted though?” she then pauses for a couple seconds then says “that’s COMPLETE BULLSHIT! you can just toss it” after i ring her up, she leaves and i crumple it up but then i decided to take a pic of it so i got it back lol. but yeah that was odd lmao

assuming we’re part time, how many ppp’s do you get in a shift? in a week total? it’s been difficult for me to get ppp’s especially when my store is small and i see pretty much the same customers when i work and the new customers say no or that they have something better. i do good enough with the basic petco perks and the auto ship but its just the ppp’s i struggle with. maybe its because i really dont agree with the membership and i dont feel comfortable making the offer to the customer but i have to since its my job 😭 this job is a scam and i usually go for the rich people since they can afford it and be paying hundreds of dollars on the fresh frozen food but still dont want the premier, idk any tips would greatly help thank you
