You'll Hate this Pets At Home

[Pow-Lo]

What a bunch of wankers!

Went there at lunch time with Mrs P to pick up a few bits and pieces. We we were both wearing masks but were stopped at the door by some young girl and she told us that we could not be in the store together if we were in the same household. I stopped and asked if she was kidding or perhaps meant we couldn't come in together if we weren't in the same household. Nope. Can't come in if you're in the same household. Seemingly, it's ok to go in and mix with complete strangers yet I can't go in with someone I share a home, bed and bodily fluids with.

At the this point, the girl was near hysterical and invited me to complain to the head office. I told her that I wasn't interested; I understood that she didn't make the rules and was doing what she was told but the rule was absurd and I would be taking my business elsewhere.

She did not have big tits.

When I got back home, I sent a snotagram via their website and was told that it was a measure put in place for my safety by limiting numbers in store. They didn't like it when I said there was only four people on the shop floor, including two staff. If it was really about safety then there'd be a traffic light system in place where the people entering was governed by the amount of folk already inside.

Suffice to say that I'll never spend another penny in that cack hole again.

I had a 70l fish tank & had two goldfish in it (for Grandkids) one fish died so I took Grandkids to pets at home, I told the two Grandkids to pick a fish each, when they’d chosen I summonsed a young lady assistant, she asked “how big is the tank?” I told her 70l, she then asked “how many fish are in it at the moment?” I told her one as the other just died, “oh, I can only let you have one” she replied, she tried telling me that a 70l tank wasn’t big enough for three fish, I asked her why this very store sold my daughter a 30l tank & two goldfish, she couldn’t answer so I just said “not to worry, I’ll go win a couple at the fair in Leeds, probably live longer anyway”

There is a reason Paul..
The shops are trying to maximise customers ( for which no one can blame them ) but minimise the amount of people in the shop at one time.. That is why there are folk with counters at the doors of many places ( Sainsburys to name but one, and LLoyds bank .. these are two I have personal experience of, but should think there are many others )
Thing is, the shop could have been empty, but how you gonna explain to the average young shop assistant the niceties .. Far better to just get them, as best they can to minimise footfall

Daughter took Dora the pup for it’s follow up vaccines today, she had to hand Dora over at the door, when it came to Payment Emma had to go back to her car & ring the vets with her bank card details, Emma wasn’t happy as the guy in the next car was earwigging.

Sounds like it was the way the message was conveyed rather than the message itself - I can understand why this rule might be in place.

That doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, John. I understand that they want to maximise customers but barring two people from the same household is shooting themselves in the foot. How many other people have, and will, say eff that (like we did) and go elsewhere? We went six miles down the road to Pets Corner and dropped a couple of hundred quid in there.

Whichever way you slice it, it’s shite business sense (to my simple mind).

Also, Mrs Plops had a look at their website and they’re saying to avoid having two people from the same household ‘if possible’.

I can’t. What is so unsafe about sharing space in a shop with someone I share a bed and bodily fluids with?

The girl was a bit silly, pseudo-hysterical. I get that. She’s probably had to put with all manner of crap and abuse today and, if I’m being fair, her manager needs a kick up the derrière for putting her in that position. She was too young, too small and had zero air of authority. Completely the wrong person for a task like that and the message was conveyed accordingly.

The message itself is garbage.

this is controversial but when I go into Aldi I often wish people would shop alone, you find there is 1 stood holding on to the trolley and the other person is on the other side of the aisle and you cant get past them and social distance

It’s not controversial, it’s a valid point. On the rare occasions we shop together, I make a point of buggering off to pick up the stuff I want for that very reason. And to get out quicker.

Our local supermarkets have been applying that rule.
But you always end up seeing a couple shopping by going in with two separate trolleys and then going around together.

I can sort of see the point but I'm not entirely convinced it's particularly useful.

As ever in this pandemic, nothing wrong with the rule, it's the implementation.

There is absolutely no reason why golf shouldn't be safe and yet again there is a petition to get it reinstated. As a three times Open champion myself I would love to be out in the fresh air golfing, but the reality is that many haven't been sticking to the rules so I won't be signing the petition.

Like everything else, people would probably abuse it.
I'm sure here that the bar/cafe would be jammed.

Since when have I ever bought crack from a pet shop, dimwit! I get that from Dai the Dealer in the next valley.

True. Can you pull a rabbit out of a hat in there or is that why you got banned ?

No, but I can pull a cock out me pocket. Which prolly explains why I got banned.
