Will Not Visit Your Store Again
How terrible. An accident waiting to happen. Just plain rude and unappreciated. And whose paying for this anyways. After entering the store carefully, making my way to the middle, turned right down the first aisle after a diagonal left ending over to look at the fish in the lower aquariums my butt jammed one of the aquariums which was sitting on top of another aquarium surrounded by a bunch of other aquariums that seemed to make up an aisle. I was approached by 2 of the salespersons separately within minutes asking if i need help. Nope just looking. Kind of like your in a restaurant and you've just taken the first bite of your steak not knowing the waitress is watching and just as you start chewing she comes up and asks hows everything. How the f are you suppose to know. You just got here you just started. However, I'm just stating that cause i think it is kind of funny. It may come down to what you look like. Don't you just love it when people say is there...

Don't you just love it when people say is there still racism out there in this day and age. However, after figuring out what i came for cause i already knew it seemed that the taller girl was assisting somebody already, i back pedalled to the middle of the aisle i saw one of the workers who seemed to be babysitting a youth female in the back. I'm very impulsive, i would have bought your whole shop if i could have afforded it. I came with the intention of getting a few more tetras, a couple of plecos and couple of small catfish. I did get the two plecos, the 5 tetras and some other fish which I do not know the name of, which the salesperson didn't know either. There were 3 names written on the tank i do not remember what they were. There were 3 super tiny black striped pleco sharkish. I asked the salesperson what they were she said she wasn't sure. I asked her if she could find out what they were she took 2 steps she may or may not have said something to the other salesperson. The other salesperson did not even look at her. She turned and said she is busy with another customer. One of the names started with black or had black something in the name. She climbed the ladder, not looking at me saying by reason of deduction as she was looking in the tank they were the only black fish in the tank so it had to be them. Nope. Found out they are Zebra Ottos. 3 of these suckers fit on my pinky fingernail and there would still be room. Here is the thing I already had gotten 5 tetras and she did a poor job at rounding them up. Next were the 3 super tiny black bottom feeders. I thought that she was getting frustrated because she was having trouble finding them. She almost squished one on the glass. Next were the 2 plecos, she just started sweeping like crazy trying to catch those fast suckers. She added them to the bag with the 3 smaller fish. I mean the plecos were small but they could have inhaled those 3 in one mouthful and not even known it. I wanted to get 5 other tetras, the ones at the very end of the second row with dorsal fin looked to be maybe white and black and one super small see through fish about the size of a dime. I decided to just get the see through fish fearing she might injure one of the other fish or the little girl might get into some type of trouble in the back and you could see that as well, but obviously she was out of view, she could not hide her frustration or service fast enough. I decided to stop there. I must also add after she got the plecos and added them to the 3 smaller fish she then asked me if I wanted anything else still standing on the 2 step ladder not even making eye contact. I said yes I will take the see through looking one. I must also add saying if you do not like our service go someplace else is the same as saying go back to your own country. I think people become complacent and forget why it is they started doing what they do. A false sense of entitlement. Whose the real boss anyways, isn't it the one with the money. Read between the lines people. Are you a salesperson or a babysitter. You ought to show some respect, maybe you don't watch tv maybe you believe that the United States is a whole other country on an island. If you no longer love your job get a new job. If you don't like your job and can't do any better that sucks. 15 minutes and $52 later. If you could believe it there are worse places. Just for chits and giggles check out the Petcetra on Empress and Ellice in Winnipeg. Check out the fish section. I was there yesterday Nov 14. If you want to see the dead and neglected check it out for yourself.

"maybe you don't watch tv maybe you believe that the United States is a whole other country on an island."
Is this review even real? It seems too hilarious to be true.
wow-wee, this person must've been having a really rough day! I've been to Pet Traders many times over the years with my daughter (even bought Lucy, our first rabbit there!) and the staff have been more than helpful and pleasant each time. I mean come on, nit picking on every single detail that is not up to your standards? I do admit this was pretty hilarious to read, some parts just don't make any sense whatsoever. I do think that this is a highly unfair review, but I realize everyone has their own opinions. As for me, I will continue shopping at Pet Traders!
