Someone asked me if I have any intersting pet stories as I am now working at PetsMart, and yes, I do.
1. One night I was asked any possible question about cat litter. One of them was from a man who had a conversation with me about why there were different colored crystals in the TidyCat cat litter. I tried to explain there were different colors based on the box colored, but clearly he wanted something a lot more scientific.
2. A girl came in yesterday with her two dogs that were obnoxiously annoying. One looked like they were going to pee and she told them not to, and in preparation I shared with her how we have oops stations for the owners in case the pets do take a dump or pee in the store. 5 minutes later, the dog pees while she is watching and what does she do? Oh, she just turns around and ignores it. So, like my lifeguard job in high school, I am still cleaning up pee.
3. A man explained to me for 15 minutes how a cat litter box works that actually scoops out the poop, turns it mush with water and flushes it down into a sewer (i had saw it and asked him if he liked it since I had someone ask me about it earlier). He then proceeded to inform me that he hooks it up to his toilet and has a hose from the cat littler box that is attached to his toilet. Ewwww.
4. I had a woman in line returning an item for a bigger harness ask me to make the harness as big as it would go. I would also like to mention there were three people in line behind her. Wow.
5. Yesterday a woman and her two annoying sons came into the store. One son kept begging for a drink and candy (yes, we do sell people food at the checkout line). He asked every two seconds and she kept ignoring him. The other older, much larger child asked once for a drink, the mom said yes. He then went along to bug her about what type of drink he could have while younger son wouldn’t shut up asking for a drink and the mom continued to ignore him. All the while the poor dog has his collar being yanked by the younger kid. Poor dog.
That is all for now. I’ll try to have more exciting slash dumb things people ask later.
