I'm fed up with the new clock in services!!

Each week my physical time off request isn't being implemented. I've done written requests and UKG requests off. Nothing is working. It's really bad right now because two employees are*leaving* I summit requests ahead of time and I'm very thorough with the time needed off for my doctor appointments. Then I get in trouble for asking to be off the days I submitted. It's not my fault that management is shit at completing the store schedule right. This is the fourth week of not having the correct schedule!! Any advice is welcome. I hope someone knows how to resolve this.

Help with this!

If I want to come in later at 1pm . Its for 9/11 I just need a later start time. I tried putting in 6 hours but it wouldn't take it. Do you format it differently?

Time off?

I used to fill out paper forms so I can provide the time for my appointment. I see a lot of doctors every month. It helped me get out on time to get to my appointment. This allowed me to have availability after or before the doctor's appointment. But I can't get the app to register at the correct times. Example: appointments at 11am usually takes a hour to get there and finish. So I put I can work after 1pm to 5pm. That way I can get hours still. But on here its only letting me ask off for the day? Any information about this is appreciated.

Not allowing me to see my punch ins on days I worked.

Some I've already worked. On Monday our Internet servers were down so I wrote down my time on the punch in paper in the manager office. I can't edit them I'm worried that I won't get paid properly for the hours I worked. I need the money! I've only have $35 dollars in my checking account. 😓

Is my leopard gecko over weight?

When I got my leopard gecko the tail was already thicker than a lot of other geckos I've seen. I've had them since January of this year. Any information is greatly appreciated!

What the fuck is this?!

We have a Store leader, Experience Leader, 2 process Leads, and an experience lead. Now we have this! It's Bullshit all of the part time employees are only allowed to work 4,5 or 6 hours max. I hope

this adds any context on my store's situation for the past two months. Two leaders were out because one had surgery and the other got hurt at work. They were working everyone way overtime. 30 to 40 hours a week for part time positions. Plus all the managers are taking there summer vacations. It got so bad that almost every day we had to have a lead come in from another store to help out! Now the two leaders that were gone due to medical reasons are coming back. So why in the hell do we need a temporary lead??! Fuck PetSmart I've never heard of such a thing and in my five years of working at this store has this ever happened before. I even started during the COVID 19 lock down and we don't have this problem. Tell me how this makes any sense to you.

Cosplaying in summer

I'm going to be cosplaying jotaro kujo at a convention that's in the middle of summer. Would it look weird if I didn't wear the jacket? It's going to be hot and I'm worried about overheating. Will people even know that I'm cosplaying this character. Any advice is appreciated!

Talking to the animals in our care.

I find myself talking out loud to the pets in our store. An example is a guinea pig flips her hide over "I looked away for two seconds and you already are messing up your habit" then I sometimes talk to them one on one. I accidentally moved a decor item in the leopard geckos enclosure and it scared the gecko I ended up saying out loud "aww in so sorry I didn't mean to spook you!" A customer walked by and looked at me like I was crazy. I even talk to our fish. I'll be getting fish out and I say "please don't go that way, come here your going to a good home I swear!" Then I put the fish in our plastic containers I'll say thank you to the fish. Is this okay or do you think it could be considered unprofessional.

Betta fish

Recently our pet care person has been adding almond leaves to the Betta cups. Is this okay. I know these are safe for bettas in a tank. But in these little deli cups is it not good?

I hate that our new store leader leaves on the floor lights all night. I feel bad for the pets on the sales floor. Our old leader would cut off the lights at the end of the day. Is there a way to submit a request for the lights to be off at night?

I made a “How to make a Hamster Bin Cage” guide!

I noticed a lot of the guides on how to make bin cages are in video format or something you have to scroll through like wikihow, so I decided to make a detailed how-to that’s easy to read and all in one picture.

I did a lot of research to make sure it’s perfect and easy to understand; feel free to use it or show others! ☺️
