Sick conure - Sun Conue

A few weeks ago, I visited a nearby PetCo, and was overjoyed to find that they started to sell hand-fed sun conures. Unfortunately, I noticed that the only conure they had was obviously suffering big time from bird mites. To add on to that, she had almost no toys and her water was disgusting.
Thinking that since she was new, her mites were a problem they were taking care of, I left only slightly concerned.
Today, I returned to the same PetCo to find the same conure in a worsened state. Her mites had gotten so bad that she was no longer the inquisitive, friendly bird that I had met originally. All she could do is itch, and she was becoming barren of feathers. It troubles me even more that the store sells the cage inserts that kill mites in the next aisle over, and still nothing was being done about it.
Either the store didn't recognize the signs of illness, or they simply didn't care to do anything about it.
Either way, why would I entrust my own animals to a store like that? Much less adopt pets from them.
