Petsmart's sooo wasteful!

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.

Just watch out for the managers.

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.

I'd kill to work at the Petsmart here... after I moved and had to leave my job at PetCo I miss it so bad

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!
