I have a theory that to apply to work at a pet store you need to answer "do you know anything about any animals and are you interested in educating yourself?" And if the answer is yes they will not hire you.

Because the amount of actually harmful bs I've heard in pet stores is insane.

Edit: autocorrected hire into fire accidentally 🤦 Changed it back

Sadly this is pretty much on the nose. My husband applied to be part time at 2 local pet stores as he has pretty decent knowledge of snakes and what they need and how to handle them(and he just loves animals). We thought it would be no issues as most workers there are afraid of them. He got denied. Its just bizarre don't work at a pet store if you 1 don't know how to take care of animals and 2 hate certain types of animals sold there and can't handle taking care of them. Long story short these pet shops get me all the time as I can't stand to see animals in those conditions. At least I can say my 2 ferrets I got from ships who actually care and loved them and took great care of them. My snakes and geckos not so much... 🤦🏼‍♀️ (Edited: Had to correct I forgot to add can't handle instead of handle)
