Petco Reliable Dealer?

[scro]

I began to read the other replies, but then thought, the best way to voice my opinion would be just to let you have it.

There is a Petco near where I live and I have begun thinking it is the 2nd worst in the area.

The past two times I've gone there, only for crickets, I pointed out a dead White's each time.
DISGUSTING!!!
Despite the store being clean (which is the only thing that looks on the up-and-up) the workers and pretty generic with their knowledge of reptiles/amphibians.
I must say though, there was this one guy working there who seemed to be more into the rep/amph dept than the other employees. The more I bought crickets from him I could tell his disgust with his management was rising.
...thus he quit...
...thus I have seen the recent frog deaths (probably from neglect).
Thought I might let you know..."they blow"
...you usually get what you pay for...cheap=cheap

Petco is really hit and miss. It all depends on management and the people they hire. When I worked there, we had managers who had no clue on how to care for amphibians or reptiles. They didn't care either and always relied on Petco's veterinarians that supposedly decided on the care of these animals. I eventually quit in disgust over the constant fights with management.

Yup that's how I feel when I go to Petco. The only time I buy stuff there is either for like substrate or stuff for our dogs. The staff doesn't really ever seem to know a lot about reptiles/amphibians from everyone I've gone into and I don't think that there's are in the best of condition either. Maybe I'm wrong, just an opinion from what I've seen.
