I read your responses and had to post.

I am an employee of Petco and take my job very seriously. I am very knowledgeable on cats, their care, rescuing, trapping, etc. I take offense at being called an idiot. The employees at Petco are trained in all kinds of animals, ferrets, rats, birds, reptiles, fish, etc. I have SOME knowledge of dogs, but not alot. I try to help each and every customer out any way I can. If I don't know the answer to one of their questions, I get someone who does.

Although your individual experiences may have been isolated, please don't stereotype ALL Petco or pet shop employees as idiots.
