Incredibly frustrating
This store is so incredibly frustrating. I used to work here about 10-15 years ago in the pet care department so I do know what I am talking about. This is the second time I have found myself arguing and defending myself trying to purchase fish. We have a 10 gallon goldfish tank with feeder goldfish. Yes, I know goldfish get big. Yes I know 10 gallons is small. However the purpose of these fish is to be food and by letting them live in a tank that brings happiness to my 1 and 3 year old I don’t think I’m doing any harm. We also have a pond that we move the goldfish into when the get too big. When trying to purchase feeder fish the lady grilled me on the fact that my tank is too small. I explained my situation and still was having to defend myself. I literally said this is ridiculous I should just tell you I’m using them as food. Today I came in to get something to help with the algae. The lady told me I can’t have an algae eater, I can’t have snails and then started grilling me on the size of my tank. Did she ask me what type of goldfish? No. Did she ask if they will be moved to a larger space? No. I’m soooooo sick of defending myself every time I set foot in this store. The employees treat you like you are stupid and abusing animals. My sincere apologies for giving feeder fish a nice home. Ridiculous. Will drive further to go to Petco from now on.
