Indonesian Garters and Petco

[And_Lyn]

So we just got back from returning the "garter" snake to Petco. Sheesh! Attitude much?? The chick basically called us liars when we said it wasnt a garter snake. Her defense was that their supplier labels them as garters when they are sent. My boyfriend and I had to hold our tongues to avoid making a scene lol. She offered us an albino garter for the price that the keelback was. I told her we just wanted our money back. She huffed "thats fine" as she turned back to her register. UGH! Those people make me want to bash my head against a brick wall. Im SO over Petco. That was the final straw! I know more rude remarks were made...but I was too busy concentrating on keeping my composure that I dont remember what was said lol. From now on, Im not giving that place any more of my money. We will be going to the reptile shop for supplies for our gecko and snake. Again--UGH!!

Sorry you had to go through all of that. It really sucks cause with attitude like that you know nothing's going to change

that sucks..... glad you got you're money back tho....those poor snakes..... it just sucks that most of those beautiful animals won't get to live full lives

The problem with Petco is most of there employees don't want to know about the animals they sell and don't like the ones they do. I have yet to find anyone there who makes me feel they care at all.
Work your shift and collect your money. If your digging ditches or painting a house that may get you by but these animals suffer the ultimate price. I hope to rescue a Keelback, someday. I'll take on the cost. It's the least I can do.

Gosh that sucks what you guys had to go thru but im glad you got your money back. Them people UGH It is sad about them snakes tho. They sure are beautiful. Hope some good people here in the group can get their hands on some and breed them

I'm sorry. However big a pain in the keester they were about it, you did the right thing. Hopefully they'll get a clue..

Hopefully...but I doubt it. The broad was NOT receptive to the fact that its a keelback. It seemed like her burly existence depended on it being a garter

LOL... Write a letter to corprate. Seriously. Our Petco has a dog trainer, I'm seriously trying to get fired

Go back and get pictures of the snakes infront of the enclosures, then email the pics along with keelback photo's to the corperate offices.

Never argue with an idiot, the people watching can't tell the difference.

I can say this much, our local Petco HAD (He left) a decent herp fan working there.

I really enjoyed speaking with him. He even got excited when I told him I had an Infernalis (I was excited that he even knew what an Infernalis was)

I used to get the poor guy in trouble, he'd follow me around the store talking about reptiles until I left.

The store suffered a major loss when he moved on

We stay clear of the place, except when I pop in to look for a keelback.
