The real grooming scandal:

According to a class action lawsuit filed in California, filers claim that the firm PetSmart keeps many of its groomers in a state of debt bondage, requiring them to work for the company for at least two years in order to pay off $5,000 in “tuition” for the firm's “Grooming Academy.” The lawsuit alleges that PetSmart even tries to collect the “debt” from workers who have been laid off by the company.
