I work at Petco, and the other day was feeding day for all the snakes.
We currently have two pastels and a spider, along with the normals. (They're not in the same tank, of course).
The manager went to put the pastels in the normals' enclosure, and I told her, "Those are the pastels." She pointed at the spider (which was already put away) and said, "No, that's the pastel."
I told her, "No, that's the spider. The ones with yellow on their sides are the pastels." She looked at them for a second and was like, "Oh."
I think some of the employees need a refresher course on the (as they're referred to in the store) 'specialty colors.'![]()
