Thread regarding Lowe's Cos. layoffs

Coming soon - PetSLowe's Indoor Dog Park! (not a joke)

Great news dog-loving Lowes employees. Over 260 Lowes stores are slated to feature Petco store-in-store sections with pet supplies, vaccination clinics, and more. What's next, miniature Westminster Dog Shows, akin to the movie 'Best In Show'.

Previously, my 'Indoor Dog Park' posts were in jest about the alarming societal phenomenon of rude and entitled people visiting stores with their pets. Now Lowes has embraced this pathology and taken it a step further. After piloting a Petco partnership at a handful of stores, Lowes will expand the partnership it into a larger store footprint. Expect more messes, more dog fights, more tripping, and more entitled customers.

Here's the article for those interested:

A few years ago, a dog bit me in the ankle while I was riding my bike. To make a long story short, what seemed like a minor bite could have been much more serious, leading to disability. After that, I understood why cops shoot dogs; it's not worth the risk.

It shouldn't be worth the lawsuit risk for a company either, but I'm not the insurer or boss.

I’m allergic to dogs, but I like them. I will go after bad dog owners in a heart beat though.

In order to support this there will be a couple of new Lowe’s codes introduced.

Code 2 is for clean up of doggy po-p.
Code 8 is for cleanup of when a dog urn8’s.
Code 9 is for when a cute dog is spotted in the store.

"We have a dog walking specialist in our store.. They have the skills to walk two dogs at one time... What's the pay rate and can I apply for that job ?"

The new position will be called PACK LEADER and your pay is determined by the skills you possess. PLPS (pack leader po-p scooper) is the entry level. PLG(pack leader groomer) brings extra pay. PLDW (pack leader dog whisperer) is the top capped position. Everyone is encouraged to apply. GOOD LUCK!

I haven't shopped Petco in several years as they went total Food Faddie and no longer carry the foods my pets will eat. Petsmart still does.

Maybe they’re hard up for new customers ….. seems like they’re doing their best to run off existing ones.

Lowe’s is so law suit phobic, they may re-think the whole thing after the Home Depot (customer bitten in the face) incident.

Get out now before they add "dog grooming" to your list of duties. Cesar Milan will be featured on AP4ME instructing us all how to be dog whisperers.
