They look at and say "oh she doesn't have enough work experience to be beneficial to our store." Do you see were the problem lies? Sure, YOUR store cares about its animals, but it took you to come in and do that FOR them. Most stores are not so lucky.
x2 combine that with under staffed crews and you get poor customer service and or poor looking stores. Kudos to those of you who take pride in what you do. It seems like a lost art hence the 10%+ unemployment rate.
