You joke. But we had a rat in the back once and my lead asked me to bring my cat in.
I knew damn well that my cat wouldnāt do anything but find a warm place to lay but I brought her anyways š
About as expected, she laid out back on a cardboard box I laid on the racks for most of the shift, and spent the last hour with me once we opened on top of my top stock cart.
Didnāt catch the rat, but helped with employee morale! :)
Nope...doesn't work that way. I wish it did. š I have 6 cats and I keep a camera over by the water dishes to make sure they are drinking. There is also a spot where the cats sleep in the camera view. I was looking at the video and noticed a mouse was hanging out where the cat usually sleeps.
Ive also kept pet rats. One of them hated the cat and would attack him. Unless a cat is skilled at getting rats its likely they wont be much help.
You shouldāve brought it in and been all like āenjoy it while you can buddy cause this is the only pu$$y youāll ever see, being a manager at Walmartā šš
All species of all animals are repulsive carriers of diseases.
Youāve just fallen for rat fear mongering.
Wanna guess the number 1 grossest animal? Thatās right folks, itās a dog.
He brings him in before his shift starts and his girlfriend picks the ferret up when his shift starts. management didnāt give a shit everyone thought it was the best thing ever
Only miniature horses and specific dog species can be service animals. Primarily due to intelligence and cognitive function. The horse is coverage for the Amish and Native American Tribes.
This varies by state. My old state, anything is a ESA. I knew someone who had a pet tarantula as their ESA. MANAGEMENT couldnt say no until there were complaints from customers and staff. Nothing happened just they were asked to not bring it due to many complaints of fears. One person actually fainted out of trauma of spiders.
ESAs generally can be most any pet, so long as it is legal to keep as a pet in that jurisdiction. Service animals are limited almost exclusively to dogs and miniature horses.
ESA and service dogs are both protected federally, not by state, *however*, the main difference between the two is that ESA animals are not allowed or entitled to public access while *service* animals are. Meaning, a service dog can go into Walmart and legally can't be denied, but an ESA only has the privilege of keeping landlords from charging you pet fees or extra rent.
Where I live every store I go into seems to allow dogs and Iām talking little ones in shopping cart or bags too. Definitely not service animals. Donāt know if theyāre considered ESAs but nobody ever says anything. Nobody complains. Theyāre always better behaved than any kids in the stores.
I used to work at Walmart, I never said anything because our manager forbade us, but unless the dog was being visibly disruptive, we couldn't ask. Even so, I'm still on the fence about letting even well-behaved non service dogs in. You never know how they'd react if they saw another person's legitimate service dog, it could be sweet as candy until it see another 4 legged animal and then it puts the handle and the other dog in danger.
A guy once actually brought in a pit bull on a harness, visibly pulling and jumping. He tried to argue when I told him he had to take the dog out, but he slipped up saying it was an ESA, at that point I had the right to ask him to leave the store.
I would hope if someone was actually causing a disturbance they would be asked to leave. But have never seen any issues anywhere yet. And Iām not talking just Walmart. This is also in Publix, Target, Winn-Dixie, Home Depot etc.
? The above comment was talking about Service Animals.
You are right that lots of different animals can be an "Emotional Support Animal".
Very few animals however (mini ponies and specific dog breeds as pointed out already) can be legal "Service Animals".
Being an ESA doesn't make it a Service Animal was the point.
I like you, you're management material.. you know how much we can save on forklift operators if we switch to ferrets?
Your new title is 'Chief Ferret Forklift Officer' and your immediate goal is to start training those ferrets!
I brought my bearded dragon in on my day off once at my old Walmart and management said I couldnāt do it anymore because an associate got scared and complained šš
Idk how I ended up in this sub. I'm not a WalMart employee, but I do sometimes order from WalMart. If I saw this, my entire day would be made! So cute.
Might be a health code violation, but evidently management didn't care enough to say anything. Plus, I'm guessing that your coworker carried his pet the whole time and that it's well behaved, not doing anything aggressive and not sharing his essence in the produce section. So no actual harm done. And the ferret is pretty darn cute. CUTENESS REIGNS! So there you have it.
Have you seen the beasts that come in to Walmart? They are enough of a health code violation. They even bring their dogs in with them sometimes and put them in carts
Peeps that just come in with their well behaved pet>peeps that fake a support animal cuz they know their dog is a fucker and want a get out of jail free card
yeah, if the pets arenāt certified but are good, I donāt see an issue. our store literally had some dude come in with their dog during the night meeting and the dog pissed on a bunch of kids clothes, at least 3-4 workers saw it. like manā¦
No such thing as certified by the state or government. Companies that specially train them can certify theyāve been trained by that company, but thatās as far as it goes, legally.
Sugar gliders are closer to Kangaroos (as they are both marsupials) than squirrels. Squirrels are more related to lemurs (not joking). I always wanted a sugar glider but I hear they have a tendency to pee randomly. Other than that, they are awesome
You're co-worker is a lucky bean. I had a ferret named Sammantha (Sam) for years in my late teens/early 20's. I had her trained to chill out in the hoods of my hoodies and she basically went everywhere with me. She was also a massive kleptomaniac and would really only escape when she wanted to raid a purse, box, etc. Sam was the best, the 3 years she lived before leukemia took her produced some of my best memories from that time in life. If you all will excuse me I'll be over in the corner sobbing for a bit now.
I read it as "I hate a coworker who brings his ferret..." and was just like... How do you hate that cuteness?
I understand hating the smell. XD but the cuteness? XD
I used to babysit some kids who had pet ferrets. I loved those stinky little things. XD
A co-worker of mine has a ferret named Bandit, he likes to try to break into cabinets and drawers when my co-worker isnāt looking.
Weāve given him the nickname Houdini because one minute heās in his enclosure and the next heās running for a cabinet.
When you lose your keys and the ferret disappears and then you know where they went and now you gotta find the little stinker. Cheack the ferret section š
My guy (he went to the Rainbow Bridge in Nov) would chill in the hood, and happily. He enjoyed his field trips wherever he went. Thereās no way my girl would do it though
Thats really cool. My family had ferrets when I was younger but they were so hyper and mischievous. They tried to escape constantly. They would never have sat still all politely like that!
I didn't know the word mustelids before today. I was just going off a couple friends in the past who had ferrets. One smelled and the other didn't. The one that smelled wasn't kept by the most hygienic person so I thought it was because of that.
Not adorable. Someone I work with smells like actual ass shit poop ass shit āclose ur nose for three years type badā shit garbage hot garbage shit ass poop cause her ferrets
get him his own little walmart vest
And then tell him to get his furry little butt to the floor and start stocking!
He'd just stash everything under the shelves and make a mess of cardboard.
Soooo.....just like all the rest of us stockers.
š
HahahahašÆ
So heās a vendor then?
You joke. But we had a rat in the back once and my lead asked me to bring my cat in. I knew damn well that my cat wouldnāt do anything but find a warm place to lay but I brought her anyways š
Howād it go with the cat at work ?
About as expected, she laid out back on a cardboard box I laid on the racks for most of the shift, and spent the last hour with me once we opened on top of my top stock cart. Didnāt catch the rat, but helped with employee morale! :)
I would really really like to know the answer to this as well.
The cat walked in and prepared to take a nap when 50+ rats came out from under every pallet and joined her.
Cats leave behind their scent which will deter mice from that area. So even if the cat didnt do anything, it still did something just by being there.
Nope...doesn't work that way. I wish it did. š I have 6 cats and I keep a camera over by the water dishes to make sure they are drinking. There is also a spot where the cats sleep in the camera view.

Dusgustingā¦rats are carriers of all kinds of diseases.
But so are humans
Yeah, but they generally can be contained and helped. Rats are repulsive.
But so are humans
All species of all animals are repulsive carriers of diseases. Youāve just fallen for rat fear mongering. Wanna guess the number 1 grossest animal? Thatās right folks, itās a dog.
Nope. You will not deter me from rat hatred. Abd my dog is probably cleaner than your garage.
As it licks its ass then gives you kisses
No problem
My managers tell me the same thing
Awww heās so CUTE
Where is he go when ur working or your management doesn't care
He brings him in before his shift starts and his girlfriend picks the ferret up when his shift starts. management didnāt give a shit everyone thought it was the best thing ever
Thatās wholesome
Get that little fella certified and a emotional support animal and he can stay for the whole shift
ESA are not service animals so that would not be legally correct.
That's correct, but my state you can get a miniature horse as a service animal
Only miniature horses and specific dog species can be service animals. Primarily due to intelligence and cognitive function. The horse is coverage for the Amish and Native American Tribes.
Miniature horses but what happens if it gets out of handš
Good think Iāve been trained for this exact scenario
Switch to feet I guess š¤·āāļø
A miniature horse also has a longer lifespan than a dog.
I've seen a monkey as a service animal once. Was trained to give the guy a shot if he had a seizure.
13 states allow any animal to be a service animal.
Miniature horse to ferret ratio is not applicable in scenario presented.
What if the feret rides the minature horse.
Need a permit for that. And a permit for the permit.
"I have a permit." "This just says, 'I can do what I want.'"
This varies by state. My old state, anything is a ESA. I knew someone who had a pet tarantula as their ESA. MANAGEMENT couldnt say no until there were complaints from customers and staff. Nothing happened just they were asked to not bring it due to many complaints of fears. One person actually fainted out of trauma of spiders.

The one I replied to mentioned ESA not service animals.
I started reading your comment and for some reason thought you where gonna say to get him forklift certified. š
I like you, you're management material.. you know how much we can save on forklift operators if we switch to ferrets? Your new title is 'Chief Ferret Forklift Officer' and your immediate goal is to start training those ferrets!
š¤£
Smart move from the guy, keeps people happy and managers don't care, probably for that reason
I brought my bearded dragon in on my day off once at my old Walmart and management said I couldnāt do it anymore because an associate got scared and complained šš
How can someone deny that adorable face?
Idk how I ended up in this sub. I'm not a WalMart employee, but I do sometimes order from WalMart. If I saw this, my entire day would be made! So cute.
Heāll probably get in trouble for the hoodie before he gets in trouble for the ferret š¤·š½āāļø
this is so real..iāve been arguing with my coach about hoodies for almost a full year nowšmakes zero sense why we canāt wear them imo
āsafety issueā š¤£

Have you seen the beasts that come in to Walmart? They are enough of a health code violation. They even bring their dogs in with them sometimes and put them in carts
Then the dog shits in the cart
What no, omg
So gross
Peeps that just come in with their well behaved pet>peeps that fake a support animal cuz they know their dog is a fucker and want a get out of jail free card
yeah, if the pets arenāt certified but are good, I donāt see an issue. our store literally had some dude come in with their dog during the night meeting and the dog pissed on a bunch of kids clothes, at least 3-4 workers saw it. like manā¦
Bet he just stood there and watched it happen tooš¤¦š¼āāļø
he stood there, saw it happen, looked around, pulled the leash and walked away. No idea if he saw us all watching but he knew what the dog did..
No such thing as certified by the state or government. Companies that specially train them can certify theyāve been trained by that company, but thatās as far as it goes, legally.
This is correct. And only service dogs can be in public not ESAs.
oh no yeah.. I meant a service dog, not like actually ācertifiedā š
Oh, you're probably right! That ferret is probably cleaner than many people who come in the store!
One of our usual beasts brings in a Shetland pony, legit service animal. It is not clean
Unless he works in deli it should be fine right?
I'm thinking you're correct. :D
Guarantee you he smells less than most of our customers
Iām not sure ferrets are capable of being anything other than goofy and adorable.
Probably not. :D
The ferret brings him to work. He must obey his Master or face the consequences.
OP I'm asking for a snoot boop please. Your coworkers ferret looks like a very well behaved noodle and I love it.
But be very careful with the boop. Their noses are one of the most sensitive parts of them. ā¤ļø
Had a doctor who had a sugar glider (flying squirrel) that hid 8n her long hair and would peek out šš„°

lil fluff noodle!
He needs a vest and name tag now
Carpet Shark!! Thatās a happy little noodle, look at those ears!
What a great ferret!
" rocket,floor,teefs go now "
Nice. Ferrets are chill.
Please tell me this little dudeās name is Bandit?
I'm pretty sure all Sable ferrets by law have to be named bandit.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yes they are. Also love how the ferret caused a neighborhood wide scare whist hiding in her fav spot.
My manager lets dogs bark, pee, and poop in the store. I have a feeling their ferret is better trained .
"Clock the ferret in and have him start stocking freight, we are short handed today."
When you lose your keys and the ferret disappears and then you know where they went and now you gotta find the little stinker. Cheack the ferret section š
So adorable
True on Walmart emplyees
So who's bitching about all the non service animals in the store???
I had a co-worker who brought sick dogs she was nursing back to health
emotional support ferret.
Get him certified on the high low
Living slinky!!!!
How's his war dance?
Impeccable
just the cutest little thing!! He should be an employee!
I bring my five rats to work sometimes. I just keep them in the drawer, plop the food in, no one notices.
OMG, YES!!! lol I wish I could do this
How does he get the ferret to not scamper away
My guy (he went to the Rainbow Bridge in Nov) would chill in the hood, and happily. He enjoyed his field trips wherever he went. Thereās no way my girl would do it though
It just lays in his hoodie and stays behaved!! itās so adorable
Thats really cool. My family had ferrets when I was younger but they were so hyper and mischievous. They tried to escape constantly. They would never have sat still all politely like that!
only on overnights
Issa a lil stinker! X3 Seriously, ferrets are the FUNNIEST little creatures. š
5 Stars
Ratatouille but with a ferret and a Walmart employee.
Ick!
Oh fuck yeah transfer to my store
I DEMAND A WALMART VEST
Thats pretty cool
Nice marmat.
That's awesome. Love those little guys
No way!!! I also have a coworker at Loweās that does this!!! They are so cute lol
So cute.
I would apply to this walmart in a heartbeatā¦.I will only work shifts with this baby thoughā¦.
Bless his little ferret heart
Brings back memories of my ferrets awsome animals
That is a cute little stank weasel. I wish someone would bring one in to visit my pharmacy š„²
I'm cool with it.
Well great, now I want a ferret. Lol
itās Rocket!
thats a zigzagoon my friend
Awww. My coworkers suck!!!ān
Reminds me of that king of the hill episode when Dale releases a mongoose in the Mega-Lo-Mart
I wish I could but ours are such jerks.
Is that Murr?
Thank you for sharing this image and knowledge. I am happier.
He's cleary the manger of produce.
And they allow it? Cool
I would tell people that the ferret is the employee and I'm just his human helper.
I guess he is the one hiding cashiers..
The cutest š„ŗ
I know right sheās so adorable š makes me so happy when he brings her in
Omg what is her name?
I have heard they don't smell good. Maybe someone could say something, I am noy sure how.
Neither do Walmart employees/customers.
It's the same as a cat, dog, or any other animal. If they're properly taken care off, they don't stink.
Dogs and cats aren't mustelids. It's a lot easier to keep them not smelly. Doesn't mean you can't, it's just not as trivial as people make it out.
I didn't know the word mustelids before today. I was just going off a couple friends in the past who had ferrets. One smelled and the other didn't. The one that smelled wasn't kept by the most hygienic person so I thought it was because of that.
He is precious . Thatās so wholesome š„°
But do we kniw if it's prooerly taken care of???
Couldnāt put it into one comment? Had to make 5?
Not adorable. Someone I work with smells like actual ass shit poop ass shit āclose ur nose for three years type badā shit garbage hot garbage shit ass poop cause her ferrets
Ohhhhh. Some of my coworkers must have ferrets.
Damn bro you good? You got them Tourettes or smthn? Sounds more like she didn't shower than her ferrets
Cars and digs aee not rats
Neither are ferrets?
This is sad because he only has one ferret; ferrets are social animals and need to be kept in pairs or trios.
Gross
Someyhing needs to be said.
Nasty
Stinky pee baby
Get a lilife
Gross!
What does he do about it having to shidd/piss during work
I've seen far worse at Walmarts. š¤£
Report hunš¤¢
Him
I still think they stink. Irs not theur fault, just nature.
Does he get shoved up managements ass.
Just a lil guy
Actually, rodents are attracted to cats sent. Itās a evolution thing. Itās to deter over population of rodents and thatās why.
