Petsmart :/

sorry. thought you were talking about

a little over a year ago I didnt have a job for about six months.. One day at petco I think it was I saw a sign saying now hiring reptile specialist. I actually said that may not be so bad to get me thru. Then I had to think. Doesnt matter how much you know or that youve owned reptiles for 20 years, like I have. What matters is what they want you to teach. And if you vary from that. your not keeping that job. I talked to the assistant manager who knew me from another forum I frequent. And he even said he couldnt hire me. He knows I wouldnt follow policy about what is supposed to be said. I would follow what I get caught now walking thru the store telling customers. After the "specialist" gave them not so great information.

my mistake. but I'm encouraged to inform.
it isn't helpful when people think you actually can keep 5 goldfish in a bowl and leave them there without cleaning and expect them to live a long and healthy life.

but maybe it just depends on the manager?
I'm sure if i had a stubborn manager he or she would be telling me to never stray from what little (but helpful) information is presented in a printed out care guide.
maybe they don't want to hear "well i spoke with someone and they told me it would be ok to do _______ and now my _______ is dead."

i don't know but as i said before...
i don't want to be stupid because i hope to own so many of these animals for myself so i try to be informed.
my opinion on my own experiences.
