I don't blame you at all!

I hate pet stores. I've only been inside one that I actually had nothing against...they only sold fish and did koi ponds, had bunnies at easter. You could buy certain dog/cat supplies in one section, but they did not sell puppies or kittens.

It's terrible to think that (in some cases I'm sure because I've seen it) there are 16 year old kids taking care of 6-? week old puppies who have no knowledge THAT SHOULD BE REQUIRED to go along with the job other than running the register! I'm sure alot of them are just waiting to get out of there so they can go spend their gas money they've earned that week!
I realize teens have to work and not all of them are irresponsible. But I'm sure there are very few working in pet stores that it is anything other than a "job" to them, hope you know what I'm trying to say, not trying to be ugly.
