I don't see the blame here being put on the employee, hey, they just need a job. I see the blame here being put on owners/managers for not making sure employees are properly trained. I know the employee don't benefit from the big sale but the owner/manager does. There is a pet store about an hour from my home that had a dude that was right on time with the reptiles...I was learning from him. I would visit to talk with him and he may be doing fish, stocking shelves, ect. When I asked him why he wasn't taking care of the reptiles that day he informed me that all employees were on a weekly rotating schedule and that he only got to work with the reptiles about every other month!!! Talk about poor managementIf I managed that store he would have never left the reptiles, no other employee had a clue. Keep in mind...90% of the general public are scared of snakes, pet stores are hiring employees out of the general public....which means 90% of the time snakes at pet stores are not being properly taken care of.
