Guy: *Gets attacked by snake and has blood coming out of his hand*
Manager: “ok time to get back to work”

[hinaww]

Blood in their poop? Wow, get that checked. Immediately.

[harmlessrat]

“Rats are incredibly intelligent”
why thank you

[holysheep]

omg when the poop is red or even yellow the dog should see the vet! really! like the dogs than (can) have a problem with theyr organs.. i hope they just did know about this at the stores...

I work with snakes and sometimes they do feel threatened so they latch onto you, but usually if you stay calm and don't move the snake will let go, in my experience anyway, also pouring a tiny tiny tiny amount of any kind of alcohol into their mouths will make them let go, just have to wash their mouths out after

I'm glad the first girl was so respectful with rats 😊

[leighbratton]

Never buy a bunny from a pet shop. They didn’t even know the bunny was pregnant, and also a lot of bunny food they sell is poisonous to them, and they cannot drink from those upside down water bottles, it’s like only drops coming out, so basically they are dehydrated and dying of thirst

[breeromero]

I work at a pet store and one thing I wish people understood is that it's not a petting zoo. It stresses the animals out and unless you're serious about getting one then please don't ask to hold them.

[kristykreme]

Do NOT buy your pets from a pet store! They are the ones keeping puppy mills full of sick dogs in business! Adopt from a shelter and save many lives.

[GeorgiaGrown]

these are horror stories?! i worked at a big box pet store in ATL for almost 4 years..literally each of these "horror" stories are daily occurrences.. if you want real horror stories, I volunteer for "pet store employee horror stories pt 2"

[perlag]

People in the comments need to stop judging the girls like their evil, they did not own the pet shops and one was only 15 at that time.
But yes these pet shops don’t take good care of their animals, it’s really sad.

[elisebuzzell]

so thankful that my store only sold supplies and not actual pets 🙏🏻

[Urmom-pove]

Girl with black shirt:I love my job!
Girl with rainbow shirt: I HATE MY JOB!

[arjun.d]

HOW MANY JOBS DOES THIS WOMAN HAVE?! lol i see the same person in almost every one of these vids

[RB-vibz]

"I was a crazy rat lady"
Wow never thought I would ever hear that from someone.

[jennylin]

Moral of the story?






DoNT MeSs WitH ThE DANGER nOOdlE🐍

[sophiaherzog]

“I say we but it was mostly my manager”
GOOD JOB for being HONEST

[smilerusher]

Question: Why would they still sell an aggressive snake? Why?

[liveisgood]

Best quote: "The animal kingdom is a f-ed up place."
Her job: Pet store.

[vegandinonuggs]

“Look, I-I’ve got a snake... I can’t help y-“
“LET ME SPEAK TO THE MANAGER, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I BEEN INSULTED-“

Working with customers in a nutshell😂
