Crap!

That stinks!
I go to PetsMart all the time for dogchow. She knows there are dogs going in there. It's easier to spot the piles there than in the yard. Although I've never seen any piles at PetsMart.

You think the nitwit would have smelled it - as soon as I turn into an aisle at Petsmart I can tell if someone's dog has cut loose.

Petsmart argued that because Jenkins acknowledged the feces was out in the open and she could not say how fresh it wasPetsmart clerk Carl did some sophisticated testing on the alleged feces and determined it to be a Baby Ruth Candy Bar. Jenkins actually slipped and fell while fainting after Carl tasted the alleged droppings.

That's going to be one interesting law suit. Who will crack first, the prosecution or the defense and use the anglo-saxon term for feces? "I deserve a million bucks because I stepped in some dog **** and my ankle got hurt."

The entire Commonwealth slipped on dog feces when it elected Paul Patton as Governor. Too bad someone can't sue him for letting thugs out of prison early, so that the State can spend all that money on recapturing and retrying them again for their new crimes, all in an effort to...save money...D'OH!!

You know... I bet Petsmart would admit to liability if the 'damages' didn't always end up so bloated in these things. She "hurt" her ankle in a fall. How bad did she really 'hurt' it? - Was she really functionally disabled by the experience? - or did she feel a bit sore and limp for a few days? Is she seeking thousands for pain and suffering? - Or is she seeking the deductible for her insurance (which she should have anyway) so she could go to the doctor and get the ankle wrapped?
I tripped on a curb last week. My knee still hurts. But it was just a bump in the road of life.

I've seen the commercials that show dogs "shopping" with their owners, which I think is totally riduculous. I wouldn't shop in a place that allowed shoppers to bring their pets. The last thing I need while standing in the checkout is some dog sticking his nose in my crotch, let alone having to be on the lookout for "dog-doo" while shopping. I think Petsmart is stupid for exposing themselves to this type of liability. What happens if someone's dog bites or attacks another shopper?

No, we couldn't possibly hold the owner of the cherished pet responsible, could we? It has to be the deepest pockets. A reasonable person would say that the store lets people bring their pets in with them. A reasonable person would also have to say that pets are likely to releive themselves in said store. A reasonable person would then conclude that it pays to keep an eye out where one walks.

Johnnie Cochrane defending Petsmart: "If she saw the $#!t, you must acquit."
He also could create reasonable doubt by demanding proof that the offending turd indeed was of canine origin: "They must prove the log came from a dog. They must prove that the feces came from that species."
If the plaintiff prevails, American jurisprudence will long note the "crap of luxury".....

A little off the subject, but my husband just returned from a trad show in Chicago. He was staying in a lovely Michigan Ave. Hotel and spotted an elegant lady in the lobby, swathed in fur from head to toe, and walking her Highland Terrier on a leash.
Surprised, he asked the porter if dogs were allowed to stay in the hotel (thinking that we might bring our Golden Retriever down for the weekend) and the porter replied, "They are, if you own the hotel!"
:~)

It was just a matter of time before Petsmart got sued over animals in the store. They should also get sued over their terrible customer service :).

Does anybody remember the skit by Cheech and Chong, walking through the Arctic and encountering a pile of dog sh!t? They touch it, feel it, even taste it. The punchline? "Good thing we didn't step in it."
