Wild Side Pet Store
Bait and Switch for a turtle for two girls who were told it was $14.99 and went back an hour later it had changed to $24.99. And the response was well we might have a rush on them or they were on sale but not anymore

The Wild Side Pet Store is a Scam! My daughters have bought tons of things with their chore money and they got Scammed! Yesterday they went into the store at about 6pm and wanted to buy a red-earred slider they asked the employee He told them it was $14.99. They didn't bring money so we went home and returned about at 6:47pm the same day. We got the employee who was also the manager Russ and he proceeded to tell them it was $24.99. I said we were here an hour ago and its a different price now? He said yeah maybe it was on sale. I said An hour ago it was on sale but not now? He said Yeah we might have a bunch of people that wanted the turtle in an hour so its $24.99. I said Really a rush thats why the price has changed. He said Yeah. I said whatever lets get the turtle and get outta here. He then started asking whether we had the right equipment and I told him we had a turtle before. My sister in law was with us and ask can we just get the turtle He said No. We said Why? He said Because I don't think you have the right equipment for the turtle. I told him Again we have owned a turtle before so we are well aware of taking care of the turtle. Another employee asked if we wanted a box and got a box for us. The manager Russ went to the register and rang up the $24.99 turtle to my two girls who got upset because they really wanted this turtle and insisted we buy this turtle.
Bait and Switch, lying, stealing, whatever you want to call it! Its bad business to have prices told by the manager then it being changed because they might have a RUSH? A rush on turtles, really? This is Bad Business practice in a bad economy and I will be telling everyone I know.
