I absolutely LOVE working there!!! There are women my age who are great to work for AND I get to schmooze with all the pets!! :D:D:D:D:D
Scenario of my very first Petco phone call:
Me: Thank you for calling Petco, this is Donna, how may I help you??
Lady on phone: Do you take cats?
Me: Excuse me???
Lady on phone: Do you take in cats??
Me: Um, no, why?
Lady on phone: Well, I've got this 8 year old cat I can't care for any more.
Me (trying DESPERATELY not to lose my cool): Well, PetSmart might be able to help you.
Lady on phone: Do you happen to have their phone number?
What am I directory assistance?? So, I put the dumb 6itch on hold and call information for the number.
Me: Got a pencil, here's the number. I might also suggest the Humane Society, here's the number. The Humane Society will take in owner surrender cats, however, because of your cat's age, her chances are slim that she'll get a home (thinking all this time "hmmmmm, how can I help this lady??? JUST SAY NO, DONNA!!!! You can't save them all!)
Lady on phone with absolutely NO remorse: Oh, well thanks for your help.
Click.
I was fuming, but figured I've gotta worry about my own situation, and am NOT going to feel guilty about it.
I think I'm gonna love it there!!! :D:D:D
