Yesterday,
Thursday,,
while
driving
from
my
DTLA
studio
to
see
my
mother
in
Bellflower,
she
asks
me
to
pick
out
a
couple
cans
of
cat
food.
I
park
in
front
and
enter
the
store
where
a
manager
is
posted
up
at
the
door.
Having
Ben
to
this
store
numerous
times,
I
have
a
routine.
Veer
left
to
say
hello
to
the
kitties,
peruse
the
fish
tanks
looking
for
tiger
Oscar's.
Trip
out
on
the
four
chameleons,
then
head
to
the
cat
food.
Half
way
down
the
isle
I
look
up
to
see
the
"door
employee"
briefly
check
me
out,
then
walk
away.
I
move
to
the
next
aisle,
and
again
watch
the
same
petco
associate
walk
past
the
aisle
giving
me
a
glance.
She
then
returns
30
seconds
later
walks
towards
me
asking
if
I
needed
help.
I
tell
her
I'm
buying
catfish
for
my
mom's
cats,
and
am
trying
to
channel
them
to
narrow
down
the
myriad
options.
I've
picked
out
three
pouches,
when
I
notice
Police
swarming
the
aisle,
asking
me
to
put
the
cat
food
down.
I'm
asked
if
I
have
any
weapons
I'm
asked
if
I
have
any
needles.
I'm
asked
if
I'm
on
parole
or
probation.
I'm
then
searched.
My
computer
bag
is
searched.
And
nothing
is
discovered.
The
officer
informs
me
they
were
called
in
by
the
manager
who
saw
me
stash
store
items
on
my
person,
and
that
I
was
with
others
who
came
with
me,
and
that
had
run
out
the
door
with
merchandise.
The
manager
of
this
store
is
a
liar.
She
saw
me
park
and
walk
in
alone.
She
lied
about
my
putting
merchandise
in
my
pockets.
The
police
escorted
me
out
of
the
store,
as
apparently
petco
has
the
right
to
refuse
me
service.
I
would
understand
if
I
had
actually
done
something
illegal,
but
I
did
not.
So
why
did
the
manager
single
me
out?
Because
she
is
a
miserable
porcine,
hater.
All
in
all,
a
pathetic
lack
of
professionalism
by
the
Petco
manager.
My
mom
shops
there
once
a
week.
She
has
two
cats
and
she
also
feeds
dozens
of
cats
abandoned
by
the
91
freeway
and
Clark
Ave.
I'll
never
shop
ar
petco
again,
and
after
hearing
how
petco
treated
me,
neither
shall
my
mom.
Disgusted,
