Hey guys...ooh, I used to love visiting pet shops as a kid especially to see the puppies. Still do....secretly [eager]

The Wandering Poet 11-26-2012 05:54 AM

Somehow I could imagine Ling walking into a pet store with a little baby dragon on her shoulder (or a lizard cause those are real).

Ling 11-26-2012 11:10 AM

That thought has never occurred to me, I'm not particularly fond of lizards and while dragons are interesting mythical creatures I can't imagine that either.

I have gotten really rude customers, but most of them are really happy to be in the store. I did make a customer so happy with how she was treated during black friday that she cried... :/ I got a Kudo's card from the managers about that one.

Ling 11-27-2012 06:15 AM

I've never seen rude customers in a pet store, having said that I don't go to pet stores often.

That's nice of your manager to acknowledge your positive attitude to the customer on Black Friday.

~LONGCAT~ 11-28-2012 05:32 PM

I always have a positive attitude when I work. I don't see the point of acting miserable, it makes customers leave and makes them rude. It just begets more misery. :/
But yeah I've had customers throw dog toys at me because their dog destroyed it. Or worse yet are the really rude people who try to return stolen goods and we've caught on and refuse their returns. I've been called a racist b*tch so many times because I've refused returns.

The Wandering Poet 11-28-2012 06:07 PM

"I'm not racist I hate everyone equally" would be what I'd say eventually =.=

~LONGCAT~ 11-28-2012 07:19 PM

I usually just end up telling them that without a receipt I cannot process a transaction of that size and if they want to return stolen goods then they should try another store because we're not accepting any returns of theirs anymore. And by that point a manager has come up taken their ID under pretenses that it will help in the return process and made a copy of it to post in the back office.
Oh and people getting really pissed because we called the police about their counterfeit money. I got a hundred dollar bill with a Lincoln watermark once.

The Wandering Poet 11-28-2012 08:02 PM

Really? People don't even counterfeit money here [lol] it costs too much XD

~LONGCAT~ 11-28-2012 08:13 PM

I live near a casino town now and people are constantly trying to pass counterfeits off, but some are just so bad.

The Wandering Poet 11-28-2012 08:18 PM

Yeah the casino here went out of business... >.>" we're all too poor to gamble anyways...

I used to have a marking pen that told me if it was counterfeit or not

~LONGCAT~ 11-28-2012 08:21 PM

The marking pens don't work on the new counterfeits. They bleach fives and ones and reprint 50's and 100's on them so their still on real money paper, but the watermarks aren't present or aren't the same.
I live near Atlantic City. Lots of casinos.

The Wandering Poet 11-28-2012 08:25 PM

Ah yeah... that would be problematic. Making a nearly undetectable to the eye counterfeit would be easy... it'd just not be worth it.

I just don't see how it's worth it to get a printer that would work on it and look real

~LONGCAT~ 11-28-2012 08:29 PM

Sometimes I just really get fed up with the shenanigans the customers try to pull.

The Wandering Poet 11-28-2012 08:35 PM

yeah I bet XD
I dont want to work in retail for that of many reasons

~LONGCAT~ 11-28-2012 08:54 PM

I really want to go into tourism and environmental education. I'm done with retail I just wish I could get a different job.

The Wandering Poet 11-28-2012 09:05 PM

Hmm... well there isn't much tourist here... unless you wanted to try being a tour guide at the factory here [lol]

~LONGCAT~ 11-28-2012 09:10 PM

I should really look into ocean tours like whale watches around here. Hmmm... onto a job search!

The Wandering Poet 11-28-2012 09:22 PM

Go Longy Go~ :D

Hrm you need a better nickname...

I know if you like planes this factory does tours :D

~LONGCAT~ 11-28-2012 09:33 PM

Hmm... Seattle is on the other side of the states from me. I would like to move, but right now I don't have the funds to move, or a job to move to. Oh well.
I never really thought of nicknames, some people call me Long. or LC. I suppose you could call me Narret if you needed to. that's my dev account and was my gaia account too. Although I use the latter only for epic trolling and zomg.

The Wandering Poet 11-28-2012 09:36 PM

Hrm I could probably call you Tac... XD

Yeah, that company will take months if not years to reply though [lol]

~LONGCAT~ 11-28-2012 09:42 PM

I have family that worked for Pratt and Whitney, the other big aeronautic company. I would probably have better luck trying to get employment through them.
Tac would be fine. it might take me a while to get used to it, but I can dig it.

The Wandering Poet 11-28-2012 09:45 PM

Well... I could call you Cat too... and Tac on halloween >w<

Pratt and Whitney? Don't know what that is.

~LONGCAT~ 11-28-2012 09:49 PM

Tac's fine, there are a lot of people on mene with 'cat' in their name.
Wiki's got a page on them, but here's their company web page. Home
My grandfather worked with the engineering department making jet engines. My dad was on a contracted team to help them integrate the SAP computing system.

The Wandering Poet 11-28-2012 10:04 PM

That is true...

I want to work at Boeing because it's world famous :3
I'll be an Engineer for them by May of next year
Not the one in Seattle though... [lol] that thing is barely used now from what I hear.

Actually Googling "Boeing Factory" comes up with mostly pictures of the one I want to work at XD
Like over half are familiar XD
