PetCo is terrible - Photos

[FraggledRock]

I like to browse Petco, and typically have a good experience, aside from the occasional dead fish. However, I was very disappointed the other day when I saw a carpet anemone completely flipped upside down in the sand and none of the employees seemed to care. Even after I pointed it out.

thats near the root of the problem...

they hire idiots who don't care...

Correct. Once in a blue moon you'll find an employee who has at least half a brain, but...being as the company's bread and butter is in dog and cat food, and there aren't exactly experienced and responsible reef keepers flooding every city on the map, begging for a minimum wage job in which they can discourage little 6 year old Makaylah that Dory isn't a good starter pet for your 1/2 gal fish bowl....what you DO get is kind of expected. High school and college kids who want an easy part time minimum wage pet store job for beer money, or retirees who want a part time job for...boredom I guess?

My local Petco doesn't have salt tanks. Seems like that's a good thing!
