Pet store idiots

hey everyone about 3 hours ago i left petco. i hate petco, i usually go to my trusted pet store petsmart. they have very educated helpful people at my petsmart. but i couldn't make it there, so i went to petco to see if they had hermit crabs.(no luck), but any way there was this couple by the ball python tank. an i went up to them being friendly an asked said, ''cool u gonna get a ball python''. they said do u know anything about these? i said yea, an we started to talk. they asked do they bite. i said, bp's or a very nice an docile snakes thats not really mean an don't bite in general although they each have different personality's some can be bitey even tho i never seen a mean one. usually if they bite its a feeding mistake. they asked is there anyway to pick out one that wouldnt bite. i said i dont know, u would have to spend some time with that snake to see how its attitude is. THEN HERE COMES THE BIG BAD PETSTORE GUY :rolleyes:. he asked them what was there last question. they asked him was there anyway to pick out a non biting snake. an this dumb ass said if there all balled up theyre most likely to bite! :rage:NOW NOTICE THIS IS DAY TIME THERE'S ABOUT 4 BP'S IN THERE ALL IN THAT LITTLE HIDELESS CAGE BALLED UP SLEEPING AN SCARED BECAUSE THESE RANDOM PEOPLE JUST KNOCKING ON THE GLASS ALL DAY LONG:rage:. so me being me i start to agrue back:mad: becuase that was just 2 insane if hes telling everyone that. turning them away from the poor animals. i mean thats what they do they ball up when scared its in there name ffs. it sickins me that people like him is the one people go to for snake help an advice. an i was not gonna let him turn them against ball pythons. so i used my right to freedom of speech an got kicked out of petco. to hell with them i dont go there anyways. i cant wait to go back to petsmart an tell them what happen:rofl: its sad who they hire to take care an educated people about these animals

Ugh...

Block-o-words.

What?

Lololol the ones that bite are the ones that are balled up lol I know how you feel I hate people how don't even know about these snakes why even work there if you nothing about animals.

Lucky for me at the petsmart by my house the reptile guy used to breed BP's but had to stop for some reason and is very helpful, except for the fact that his manager made him feed the 4 month old and 9 month old BP's pinkies which he is really mad about.

You got kicked out of the pet-store?! lol

That is definitely uninformed advice though on the part of that employee - poor snakes will never find a home if he is portraying them as vicious little balls of fury...

LMAO ikr :rofl: i was only trying to help

I think you messed up a wonderful oppertunity to educate both the employee and the people who were interested. You didn't state what you said that got you kicked out of the store, but I'm guessing if you had calmly explained BP behavoir instead of arguing they wouldn't have kicked you out.

One of the things I find irritating if how much they sell normals for. Some serious price gouging.

The blame really lies within the management of these chains, I'm sure many put very little if any training into their employees. The lack of knowledge or ignorance of the employee is a direct reflection of the ppl over him. If you seen something you didnt like, I would see out the corporate office and get in contact with them.

You have NO right to freedom of speech in a private business.

Your rudeness, lack of spelling and dismal ability with grammar lead me to believe that you know little, have a large head and are a poor representative of the reptile community. Until you "larn" a bit more, including how to politely hold a conversation in which you and those you converse with have differing views.

I sure don't need you making people think that I, simply because I keep snakes, am ANYTHING at all like you. Perhaps thinking before trying to be a hero and getting kicked out of petco, like that's hard, would better suit your desire to be admired.
