| Can you believe what this man told me I went to the pet supply store where I buy Cookie her food. I had to get her little booties cuz its been cold out. I always have gone there and everyone there has always been nice, friendly, and helpful to me. Now dogs aren't allowed in the the store cause they have there own dog and several cats roaming in the store. So the guy who was taking care of us asked me not to let Cookie on the floor. So I was fine with that but Cookie is a little wiggle worm and she's all excited cause she sees the other dog there. The guy is trying on the booties on her to see which one is the best size for her. So I start telling Cookie if you dont stay still I'm going to drop you. The guy says "thats a good idea" and I'm like it wouldn't be on purpose(she was moving around so much) and he has the nerves to tell me "I would so she can learn to stay still". I was speechless. That pissed me off so much. How would dropping a dog teach it to stay still? I asked him would you drop your child if he wouldn't stay still and he was like "Uh, no". I told him I hope you don't own any animals. You would think him working in that store would make him a bit brighter than that. My fiance wasn't as pissed as me, he was like just ignore that idiot so I had to come here and vent. Hopefully someone else feels the same as me or am I just too sensative? Thanks for reading, now i feel better to have let it out. |

| Some people are just born with there foot in their mouth!! I would have reacted the same way. Just don't deal with him when you go back in there. Unfortuantly, customers can be lost for some good businesses having people who speak before they think. ~Kathy

| That person should feel stupid for what he said. That was a very mean thing to say. If you have to shop at that pet store, I would definitely ignore him.

| He obviously works there cause he loves animals - NOT!, I cannot believe they dont like you taking your dogs in there, strange, if you have a pet shop over in England its normal to not think twice about taking your dog into it, whether cats or dogs are loose, I would change my pet shop |

| I would have asked to speak to the manager, and told them what he said. Then I'd tell them they just lost a customer.
