I am EXTREMELY UPSET with this PETCO location (Carrollton on N. Josey Lane) and ESPECIALLY A “HORRIBLE “ groomer named AIDEN. My appointment was for 2:00PM on Wednesday 01/21/2026. I did arrive 15 minutes early to let my dog take care of his business outside, AND I thought the groomer, AIDEN, would want time to meet my dog and let each other get comfortable. At first, at 1:45, AIDEN was no where in the store. He, AIDEN, breezed in after a couple of minutes, and rather than introducing himself to my dog, AIDEN proceeded to tell me I was early and would have to WAIT at least 10 minutes while he finished his lunch. After walking all over the store, I went back to the grooming area (at 2:01), and saw the “groomer”, AIDEN, trimming the nails on a DIFFERENT DOG! I’m sure my facial expression showed my confusion and yes, anger. AIDEN stated that the other client had arrived 5 minutes early, and that nail trims didn’t take long, so the “groomer “, AIDEN, CHOSE to service THAT client, instead of beginning MY appointment (which was for 2:00PM).
By now, I was getting quite angry. First, I had inconvenienced his, AIDEN’S, lunch, and then he, AIDEN, chose another client before my scheduled appointment. Yes, I felt quite disrespected, dismissed and very unimportant to the “groomer “, AIDEN. He, AIDEN, proceeded to escalate an argument with me telling me I was rude to him, AIDEN, and called him, AIDEN, a “horrible person.” I was steered to the other side of the store (PETCO in Carrollton on N. Josey Ln.) and the manager, a young lady with a short name that I’ve apparently blocked from my memory. She spent most of her time defending her employee, and since I was now “creating a scene”, she proceeded to escort me out of the store. I felt dismissed, condescended to, NOT WELCOME as a customer. I would say that the “groomer “, AIDEN, AND the young manager have ABSOLUTELY NO UNDERSTANDING of the concept of CUSTOMER SERVICE. Needless to say, I will NEVER step foot in this store again. (The PETCO in Carrollton on N. Josey Ln.). AND, I will let upper management know the caliber of employee (like AIDEN) they are hiring at this location (PETCO in Carrollton on N. Josey Ln.). I sincerely advise anyone to AVOID THIS PLACE OF BUSINESS (PETCO in Carrollton on N. Josey Ln.)
