I just want the store owner or manager of Pets Are People Too to be aware of some problems with one of their employees. There is a young Asian man who works in the Moscow store who has been rude to me for the last time today. I was in the store a few months ago buying gravel for one of my aquariums and this Asian man kept trying to talk me out of the colors of gravel I wanted! I wasn't sure why he had an issue with the gravel color I wanted in the first place but, he seemed determined to get his way! LOL! I thought it was a bit odd at the time but decided to let it go thinking maybe he was having a bad day or something. Today, I stopped by to look at the Bettas since I recently lost my old one. I noticed there was a new lighted display case for the Bettas which wasn't there the last time I looked at them. I didn't realize there were airlines attached to the top of all the clear cups the Bettas were in so I picked up one and held it up so I could get a better idea of what color the Betta was, how long the fins were, if he looked healthy, etc. The young Asian man was working again and he walked over to me, took the Betta out of my hands and said in an extremely harsh tone, "You can't pick them up!" So, I started toward the front door to leave since I didn't see a Betta I was interested in and the other young man working ( a very nice one!) told me when they may have a new shipment of Bettas coming in since there weren't many to choose from. I turned around and said, "If you won't let me get a good look at them, I'll buy one at Petco". I wasn't rude in any way, I was just stating a fact. The nice young man just shook his head "yes" as I walked out the door! So, I'm guessing something like this has happened before to other customers. I wish I had gotten the names of these two young men but I was too shocked to even think about it! I'm sure the manager of the store knows who I'm talking about. I'm sorry to say that Pets Are People Too lost a customer today! I have been buying cat food and cat supplies, aquarium supplies, fish and fish supplies there for the four years that I have lived in Moscow. Most of the employees have been very nice but I have had my fill of this young Asian man who seems to think being rude to customers is acceptable! I don't mind shopping at Petco anyway since they have a very large selection of items, I have found the employees there to always be VERY helpful and cheerful, they have even gone out of their way for me a few times and I really believe that's what makes a good employee! I try to support the smaller, independent businesses around Moscow whenever possible but, in this instance, I have decided that Petco is much easier to work with and I don't walk out the door feeling like I just had an extremely negative experience! I will not step foot in Pets Are People Too again nor will I recommend the store to anyone. So, I am sorry, but so long Pets Are People Too! I will miss you and wish you the best of luck...
P.S. I would give zero stars if possible. Also, I tried to send this post to the feedback area of the website but could not get the message sent for some reason! I also posted it to their Facebook page so other people would be aware of my experience but I got a message that it had to be reviewed first! So, I am assuming this will NOT be posted to Facebook as it is a negative review, LOL! read more
