Fantasy vs. Reality: Working at a Pet Store
Expectation: Get to work, hold cute hamster. Talk to some customers. Cuddle cute bird. Talk to some customers. Pet funny lizard. Sweep store. Hold squirmy ferret.
Reality: Employees rarely get to hold the pets for any other reason than to show them to customers or to move them around while cleaning cages. Get caught snuggling instead of selling or cleaning, and most chain stores will quickly find an unpleasant task for you well away from any adorable temptations.
