But I also think in the case she was using it like saying the dog was hyper or being goofy.

Most people use the word spastic in a derogatory way instead of in a medical condition way. When I think of spastic I think of out of control behavior, crazy, uncoordinated, etc.

Wow

You just never know what is going to happen next. Good for you I don't feel we need to put up with rude people in the world. Just because they are having a bad day or gets up like that always. Plus in the professional world the customer is always right. I think they forget to train the employees that way anymore. With sales down for commerical business I would say they better figure out a way to be nice and keep the business they have.

Ok, I Just Got My Baby And A New Petsmart Opened Up And They Sent Out $5 Coupons. I Needed To Buy All The Essentials Needed For A New Puppy So I Decided To Go To Petsmart. Anyway, One Of The Items I Picked Up Was A Cozy Bed, It Was Fleece And Very Comfy Looking. Upon Reaching My Home, I Began Unloading The Things Out Of My Car And I Saw Like 3-4 Brown Maggot Like Worms With These Beetle Looking Bugs Walking Around. Well, I Grabbed The Bed And Looked Around To See If They Were Coming From There And Sure Enough They Were!!!!these Things Were Encapsulated In Like Pocketlike Coccoons In The Fleece!!!disgusting!!!! I Cleaned Out The Car And Sped Like A Demon To Petsmart And Showed Them The Bed And The Manager Had The Audacity To Ask Me How Long Ago Did I Purchase It And I Replied Look At The Receipt And While Ur At It Give Me My Money Back!! He Offered Me 10% Off, But I Declined. So Please,please, Please Check Anything U Buy Before Putting The Babies In Them!

Oh good goddesss, don't even get me going on customer service as a dying art!

I wrote a lengthy article about 7 years ago about that and sadly, it's only gotten worse.
