I've been into Critters a few times. Although they are located in a small town, they strive to have a varied selection of pets for everyone.
Staff the previous few times were more than helpful, enjoyed talking about the animals, and just seemed happy to work there.
Unfortunately, that good customer service aspect went out the window today. We came in, and what appeared to be the only
Employee was behind the register. We continued to walk around, pet the cute little brussels puppies and walk around. I spotted a blue tounge skink in the back of the reptile section and immediately was interested as I have an affinity for them. I sought out the employee, and asked her if I could see him at all. She informed me that another employee was the person to talk to about them and she was out at the moment.
I reassured her that if she was uncomfortable( because she definitely looked it) if she was able to unlock the tank, I was more than willing to take the skink out. After waiting a few
Minutes, she came over with a key and looked at the lock. She then informed me it was a combination lock and she "didn't remember" the 3 digit code. All while staring away from me.
So much for that. I was pretty disappointed and left. Hopefully next time I'll actually be able to hold the animal. read more
