We dont adopt out animals that were shipped to the store, dude. People bring them in that dont want them any more, we cant sell an animal that wasnt originally shipped to us from a wholesaler or another store that was overstocked. Its not that the crestie was in fact unsellable, but it was the fact that it wasnt originally belonging to the store. You are painting this picture where you believe that Petco had a crestie without a tail, so they put it up for adoption. As to what you see is "fine", your ideas and concerns really dont hold water in that area seeing that you dont write the store policies for Petco. We take care of each animal as if it were our own, and we really do put animals first.

Funny how losing a tail makes it worthless to them.
Dont jump to conclusions or assume anything, most of the time when people do that they end up with their foot in their mouth. Nothing angers me more than the fact that people want to generalize pet stores because of a few bad expiriences...i agree that there are a LOT of pet stores out there that dont take care of the animals that they have, but not at my store. So Petco haters of the world should collectively get off their high horses and realize that generalization and pigeonholing everything just doesnt work in real life.
