The state of things and petco showing it's colors
5 years ago
General
Well needless to say things are going to shit, though sadly I'm one of the people that's partially just rolling with it. In part because me dying is the least of my worries with things. But I don't think there have really been many issues in my area, but people are all too stupid to stay home and now shop. Pretty much like I told someone else, even though the government is telling people to stay home they've been programed too well by the government to be good little consumers and shop. So they're treating it like a snow storm and going out no matter what because they have nothing else to do.
Though onto my work. At this point we were notified yesterday that the stores are now going to be open from 10-6 until further notice. But I still have to be in tonight from 4-10 to work our truck that is still coming in. Though I was also told, and I'm wondering if this was a super secret employee thing, but who knows, but I was told that petco corporate is not at location and everyone is safe and comfy at home and "still working". My first response was just, wow. Though I shouldn't be surprised at all. Because, "they're more important that everyone else." My mangers excuse was, "well there's 600 or so people there, so if someone gets it it'll spread like fire through everyone." Yeah.....I deal with way more different people on a regular basis, that were also probably in contact with way many more different people. People at the stores are at a much higher risk than any of these stuck up idiots at the corporate level. And if this is true, and I really bet it is true, I have no more faith or trust for this company anymore and I hope they receive all the backlash that people can dish out to them. Because they deserve it. Granted that's also me being bitter about a lot of things anymore, but also all the bullshit that the CEO Ron likes to spew out, despite nothing changing for the better for the employees.
I figure at this point it's only a matter of time till someone gets sick at any of these stores and I hope they sue the crap out of them. Because no matter how much cleaning they expect us to do, while we're still doing our normal tasks and helping customers mind you, I really doubt it's going to do much to help anything. If anyone sick comes in, because come on it's going to happen they have to shop and they'll come in even if they're sick. So we'll see what happens. I think it'll get worse before it gets better, but mostly because of people and how they tend to be. Because again shopping programming, overriding their common sense that they don't really have either.

My Domino's is still open till 1am S-T and till 2am F-S. Delivery and carry-out only. We only had 2 deliveries past 11:30 last night and the owner will not let us close early even when all other sit down restaurants must close at 3pm.

Yeah that's just stupid. It's like during blizzards when they stay open no matter what and pretty much go, "well you don't know if someone's going to come out." Then they just spend more money staying open.

One night last winter the temps were about 10 below zero if not more with the wind chill. We were still open till 3am when everyone else was closed. Our owner does not give a fuck.

Just make one out of random supplies from around the house. Hell it bothers me more though that at one point apparently a woman came in to get her dog groomed today and her two children that were with her were visibly sick.
