    Re: I just lost what little faith I had in petco.

    Yeah petco doesn't sell thermostats. Petsmart sells the Zoomed repti-therm 500r but they don't carry it in stores they only sell it online. What I don't understand is why petstores don't hire people that actually know things about the animals they are working with?

    So you expect a chain, with 1000+ stores, to find knowledgable employees for ALL of those stores AND get those people to work for minimum wage? Have you stepped out side lately, or on the internet for that matter. How many people are fully convinced they know what they are talking about when they have no clue?

    We know it's not feasible for every employee to be knowledgeable, but it seems that petco/petsmart aren't hiring employees on the basis of knowledge, and aren't commending their workers for giving correct information. Instead, they are trying to do only one thing-sell their product, and this of course leads to the demise fo numerous animals that don't have the right care.
