PetSmart has some discriminatory…
PetSmart has some discriminatory practices when it comes to minority customers. I made a purchase that needed to be returned. Never used, and I had the receip. I was told I couldn’t get CASH back although I used my debit card and the return policy on the back of the receipt clearly states when using a debit card you can get your return refunded in cash! I was beyond humiliated (9/6/23) 2 weeks ago when Manager, Dwayne told me that he didn’t care what the return policy stated, he told me that’s not the way he runs his store. The sad thing is you have managers like this that go rogue, discriminate against customers without any regard because they petsmart lacks a formal way of handling “leadership complaints.” I started doing more business with chewy due to the way I’ve been treated as a African American customer. These issues are definitely going to have to be addressed formally on an external platform. I’ve waited two weeks for someone to call back and address this. I don’t want any contact from VARINICA HARGINS! I will file complaints with the Missouri human rights commission for discriminatory in a public establishment to say the least and on the company for lack of response and a history of this type of continuous behavior. This is the second incident similar in nature in 6 months; BBB, Consumer protection bureau and certainly on social media so that others are aware of my discriminatory treatment at PetSmart.
