Thread: Pet shop staff need better training GRRRRRRR

I've had quite a few experiences in that "well know pet superstore" The best one that springs to mind is the day i took Jools in for his annual jabs (we use companion care vets which is in the store. I was sat there with Jools in his cat box and another customer come in and sat down with a jack russel puppy. She looked at the cat box and thoughtfully said "oh i'll keep my dog over here so he doesn't scare your cat"

Well I couldn't resist and decided Jools would like to come out of his box for a cuddle..... her face was a picture when I pulled out this monster that could have carried her dog off in it's mouth. "oh i'll put him back in his carrier, i don't want to scare your dog", followed by a swift elbow in the ribs from my wife

Oh you are evil Mick, but I like your style!!!!

Poor Buddy but I would not like your chances of putting him on a diet, if he is anything like Hector you would not get a moments peace till you had fed him!!!!
.
But hang on they sell RC Maine Coon..........someone needs some product training I think lol

Ok catslave tell me exactly where & when & I will turn up with Shimba & Merlyn as well & we can all sit by the RC Maine Coon food & see if the assistant cottons on,
don't think we will hold our breath though.....
I must be luckier at my well known store because when we wanted to get a "cat flap" & were discussing wether the "small dog" would be big enough we soon had input from three assistants trying to decide if that would be big enough when they were fully grown or if we needed to go up yet another size,we did decide small dog would be fine in the end, Welly,Pansy & Bruce are all ok at diving in & out but both Merly & Shimba get half way through & then have to shimmey wriggle the rest through.
A good tip for cheap play tunnel,other than boxes of course,go to car boot sales,we picked up a super childs one hardly used dead cheap,because it is quite big they are only allowed to have it outside though but does provide lots of entertainment for them & us especially when Welly does his most favourite thing & jumps on top of it,one cat splattered mid way through again...!

Well Buddy enjoyed his shopping trip today. My friend who has an evil sense of humour and had read this thread came with me. Buddy was perfectly behaved (for once) and enjoyed all the fuss and attention he was getting. That was until I pointed the little oik from the other day out to Mel. I honestly did not know that she had Buddy's favourite treat, cheese, in her pockets. She decided this would be a good time to tease Buddy with it and he obliged by having a nice stretch standing on his back paws, front ones walking none to delicately up this now shaking lads body. The store manager found the whole thing funny and gave Buddy some new toys to apologise. She insisted that the young lad helped us out to the van with them. I didn't notice her and Mel had been whispering until we were just about to open the van and the Manager says to the lad "so you've seen the 3 month old kitten, do you want to meet his Dad?" Just as Mel started pulling her giant dog cage (takes 3 Sams) out the back of the van. I didn't know it was possible to go that white!!

Mel has admitted that she got all her ideas off here and that if ever she decides to get a cat. ........
