When Pets at home had stick insects

[Natonstan]

So yeah Thought Id share my story of when I bought some indian sticks from pets at home, yes its a bad story so any Pets at home lovers be prepared..

So I whent in ( this is the Sheffield store ) and I walked up to the viv they had the indians in and I told one of the women working there I wanted 4 indians, so she said sounding slightly worried " err ok" so she opened the cupboard to where they keep the tubs used to transport them, and she dropped the tubs everywhere, spent 5 minutes having to pick them up, finally she opened up the viv then.. i couldnt believe what happened next, she looked at me and said " Do you handle stick insects" so I said yes and she said " I dont really wanna touch them so can you get them out" So I had to get my own insects out as the person working there was scared of them?? So I got 4 out and then she says " I cant find a lid to fit the tub" so she gives me a lid thats bigger than the tub to fit over it... really poor shop

oh well, I won't get too surprised, worse things happened to me (in other situations) and a poor worker scared of critters he/she's payed to sell is the less thingy I've seen, but one of the funniest ever

You should have seen the shop worker trying to catch my emperor scorpion, obviously terrified by it, trying to get it into the box without touching it.
