FIVE STARS FOR REBECCA IN THE FISH DEPARTMENT!
DEAR MANAGEMENT, YOU ALMOST LOST A $60.00+ SALE DUE TO A STAFF MEMBER BUT REBECCA SAVED IT!
But TWO STARS for the store in general. And here's why:
My home PetSmart is in Garden Grove, i truly ADORE the staff there. They are helpful and we always chit chat and update each other on our babies. However, I had to come to this location as mine was out of Leopard Geckos because of the insane sale that PetSmart (company wide) was having. The staff told me that that would be getting a shipment of them AFTER the sale and to try other stores to take advantage of the 50% off. After calling multiple stores, this location said they indeed have a couple Leopard Gecks in store.
I was determined to add a new member to my family so I drove 30 minutes to this beautiful location. When I walked in, there were a few staff members running around as they were going to close within two hours. I quickly located the reptiles and waited for someone to help me. After 10 minutes, no one came so I decided to flag someone down. An older staff member with glasses happened to walk by and I asked her if the Leopards were still on sale (my location had signage indicating that it was the last day, this store HAD NO SIGNAGE AT ALL) and this was the communication between the older lady and I:
Me: Hi, are the leopards still on sale?
Old lady: (glances at price under them) No
Me: Okay but your company does price match and they are listed online as $15, will you honor that?
Old lady: No, we dont sell live animals online
Me: Yes, I know. I understand that, but it says on the PetSmart website that they are on sale for $15. (I show her my phone)
Old Lady: Well it says a different location, its not ours. You have to select ours.
Me: Yes, it is set to my home location but PetSmart does price match and the other locations are having the sale. Why is your location different?
Old lady: Im not sure but they arent on sale.
I legit walked away from her because I was mad. I drove all the way to this location for nothing. I went in search for my boyfriend who happened to be in the fish isle....
Lo and behold a beautiful aquarium goddess walks by with a cheery smile and I think to myself, why not ask her to help me....Thank goodness that I did because she was clearly informed on PetSmart promotions and policies! She didnt even need to look at my phone or look at the reptile display. When I asked her if they were still on sale, she happily replied, "Yes, do you need some assistance? I can get it for you".
She walked me over to the gecks and asked me which one I wanted. She was so friendly to me and very gentle with the geck that I picked that I decided to get TWO leopard geckos and also two African dwarf frogs from her. I could not believe that I almost walked away with nothing. She also took the time to draw cute characters on the cup that was used to transport my gecks home. Although I love the staff at my home location (Shout out to Alicia, you still da ish girl) but I am very sad that Rebecca is here. If I ever need to come to this location (which I am hoping that I wont) I hope that Rebecca is working and I will definitely not seek help from staff that are unaware of PetSmart promotions or policies.
THANK YOU REBECCA FOR YOUR FRIENDLY AND KNOWLEDGEABLE SERVICE. BECAUSE OF YOU, I ADDED FOUR BABIES TO MY FAMILY. MY BF and I are sooo very happy with our newest additions and Tina, Louise, Andy and Ollie Pesto are living the good life. read more
