I would have told her. Well, I am the customer and you will pack how I ask you too. After all, if you don't like your job, you can always get another one and that is what you might have to do if I complain to your manager. I would have also said, you are just a person, they can always get another one of you too. No one ever tells me my cats are "just another animal" because when they do, they get an earful from me.

Me too!

There have been a time or two that I had to bag my own because of this too!

Kinda along the same lines, but something funny that happened to me once, when I was at Wal-Mart....the clerk was ringing up my cat food, and she looked at me and said " you must have some cats" !

Umm, noooo actually I just like to eat cat food every now and then!

I especially love the Friskies Ocean Fish flavor.

I have always bagged myself, and would expect any and all food items separate from cleaning or other items.............here in NYC we rarely if at all have the choice of plastic or paper!

I always use the self-check when I can! Then I can do it MY way..

It never ceases to amaze me that any cashier would put chemicals in w/ anything else besides chemicals. When I was a cashier, I would never stick chemicals in a bag w/ any kind of edibles - even if the customer told me it was okay to do so. You just don't do it!

I'd report her to management - no doubt about it!

I would report it to the manager, I had the same problem with human food, I was in a hurry, on the way camping threw the groceries, into the trailer, when I got there, here is my broccoli, in with insect repellent, and toilet bowl cleaner. when the weekend was over I took it back to the store the way it was packed, the manger said he was sorry. gave me back my money, I have never gone back, they lost a customer, who was spending $700 a month. I told everyone I knew

That's awful.

The weirdest thing I had happen, was at Wal-Mart or Target. The cashier asked if I minded if the cat food was in the same bag as the people food. Last time I checked it was safe for animals to eat, I think it's ok in the same bag in it's sealed container.

My cats like Meow Mix pouches/cups, and 99% of the time those are much cheaper at Wal-Mart/Target than at Petsmart.

You could use the line, "Well, I am the customer, and you will pack how I ask you too. Afterall, you would be a tasty morsel for my cougar".

Yes, I would like to see the look on her face after that However, that would give our big boy a bad name. She would make a nice toy though

LOL I'm sure either way, she would turn pale.

I always go the same cashiers, and they always ask about my kitties. They are both cat lovers, and are careful about the cat food and make sure not to crush the treats. Sometimes they ask advice, and one brought pics to show me when she rescued the stray that had been living in the parking lot, pregnant and starving. We had been feeding her, but the others chased her away. She was so proud of herself, and I was proud of her. They had 2 healthy babies and mama has now been spayed and is living with her. She may keep the babies as well. We are trying to get her into a low cost clinic for them.
I wish all cashiers were as nice as these 2.

Oh, I HATE that!! And my store won't even double bag that, so I'm either trying to carry the bag into the house like it's a baby when I remember, and if I don't I'm picking up soup and green bean cans from the yard.

Isn't there a health regulation that says cleaning supplies have to be bagged separately? If it was just soap, I wouldn't worry (I ate enough when I was little as punishment that I KNOW that can't kill you) but anything else would be toxic.

I would have reported her conduct to the store manager before leaving!

Thankfully I shop at Pet stores only for Trouts food..actually I can't even find it in regular grocery stores or Walmart.

What a rude woman..I would have said "yeah your kids are just kids, you can always have another one "

then she makes the comment its just an animal you can always get another one

Yup, and this is just another job, you can always get another after I talk to my good friend, the manager of the store!
