I feel your pain, most pet stores in NB are awful......their are a handful of helpful employees but it seems the people they normally hire don't do their homework and should seek employment somewhere else......

[jim mcallister]

Don't get me wrong sometimes i do get excellent service but often it seems i leave frustrated.....

ugh i hate when they count the crix!! when i first bought crix they'd count but after i started showing up like 2x a week they just pour em in the bag and let me go.

Haha, a new employee counted my crix at PJs, good thing I only wanted 2 dozen (it would have taken hours for 1000). He was a little afraid of them and took the longest time to get catch them too.

What's worse is crickets usually come in boxes of 1000. Why didn't she just give you a box. Duh.

ooo - we got 500 of 2 different sizez and besides she would hav prolly made sure it was exactly 1000 .. the manager is awful makes mad that they fired the great helpful staff (my guess is to lower wages)

A sad but all to common situation. Those kids should go work at McDonalds where they belong and leave herps to us. I'd work in a Pet store again if I got paid even close to what I get now. I could only wish.

Well the best you can try and do is educate them I guess an try to save some future animals.

One of my pet-peaves about pet stores too, watching them count out crickets. And then they act really cool and say "I kept an extra one in the bag for ya." Like they are doing you a favor by adding one cricket to the dozens ya just got.

dank700,
Goto p******t on merivale, they only take a few sec's to count there crickets and normally give u a few extras
and u cant beat their price! 0.09ea for large n only 7 cents for small

Order online or make a trip to a good store every two weeks and buy in bulk. raise them yourself. im getting sick of relying on stores right now there is only one i trust to have what i need and they are slightly far.. i just order online now.. at least i can depend on that... as well as raising what i can on my own.. I cant even stand to be in most pet stored now i fell like i wanna cry..

[gfisher2002]

lol Collide. I like you.

[dank7oo]

boi

in case you didnt hear .. they fired all the great herp staff (i was talking about them)
sad to see a great place ruined

[Trace]

Well I'm floored! I NEVER thought that the pet store in question had knowledgeable staff to begin with, let alone now.

I had to edit ReptileBoi's post so I could say that too! I'm sorry, I've never been impressed with that chain. Ever.
