Too bad theres not a petsmart near me, well not that I know of anyway....
You're a bit far from here, otherwise I'd share the wealth just for the asking! Here's one I scooped..it has a hairline crack at the top, but I filled it with water, and it held no problem for the day. Filter works, bulbs fine..cute lil setup. :)Quote:

And the other tank is a ten gallon hexagonal Topfin complete setup. Reason it was tossed...the bulb! :eek: I haven't seen what my cohorts snagged yet, but Barbara grabbed a stroller..nothing wrong with it she says...and a weee bit pricey! http://www.petsmart.com/global/produ...=1130371140878
They pitch things out of sheer laziness I think. If customers open the packages it gets tossed. I work hard to buy food and litter etc. for the rescues that come through here non-stop, and if I see an overflowing dumpster full of items that are not spoiled or true garbage...I'll risk arrest for sure! ;) I can always play the dumb card if that occurs! ;)
dumpster diving here i come!!!! ;) first i have to find our petsmarts dumpster :rolleyes:
Petcetera is the worst -- I cringed everyday when I had to throw out dozens of brand new things. Unfortunatly there won't be any "dumpster diving" though -- they make you completely smash everything before you throw it out so that people can't steal it.
i will never be going dumbster diving since i work at the adoption ceter in petsmart, I know what kind of stuff they put in there and i don't want to go looking.
Hah, I currently work at Petsmart. (Well, I'm quitting tomorrow...I couldn't take it...) And yea, I don't think most employees care about you taking stuff. Heck you could probably pay them $10 and they could hand it to you. Just pick a real dopey looking one. :D Just watch out for the managers.
Thanks for the tip! :D:D:D:D
I think I'm going to go to the nearest costume shop and pick up the uniform of a cop or that of a security guard, then I'll "investigate" the dumpster for evidence... :p
If the managers catch the associates who are taking "bribes" for letting people take store merchandise, whether its "trash" or not, I'm sure they'll get fired so fast. So that isn't really a smart thing to do. :oQuote:

:D :D :D i have 2 petsmart stores near me so if one finds me ill go to the other :D
The Petsmart near me has a Love a Pet center, and they let us have the broken litter bags, and will let us take broken food, as long as it can be sealed up and is still within code. My beef with them is that they have pallets stacked up where it's hard to get at the supplies to clean and stock the cages. I think they're shorthanded and haven't had a decent manager in years.
I'm going to Petsmart tomorrow but would never dream of going behind the store to the dumpster! Never mind the cops, I'd be worried about getting knifed! :rolleyes: Not that it's 'that' bad of an area, but who knows. ;)
