Absoultely report them.

I would report them, then either talk to the owner / manager, or call or write an anonomous letter if you don't want the confronatation.

Tell them exactly what you told us. Identify yourself as someone with experience keeping herps. They very well may try to blow smoke like "reptiles only need water once a week" or some crap.

The low-lifes that would treat animals this way would certainly lie about it as well. Let them know that you visit the store frequently and will continue to report it if they don't take much better care of the animals.

One other note, MANY, but not ALL pet stores neglect their herps. I have a couple independently owned stores around me that do a very nice job, and train their employees well.
