PET SHOP DAYS 1 AND 2 [NOT BAD]

O.K. CANDY THIS IS FOR YOU. MONDAY. THE VERY FIRST CUSTOMER WANTED A MOUSE. OHHHHHHHH. AS WE'RE WALKING TO THE BACK WHERE THEY ARE SHE STARTS TALKING ABOUT HOW AFRAID SHE IS OF THEM. WELL THERE GOES SELF SERVE DAY. I GET A PAIR OF GLOVES AND A BOX. I PICK ONE UP BY THE TAIL AND PUT IT IN THE BOX. IT COMES OUT WE SCREAM I GET IT AGAIN AND PUT IT BACK IN THE BOX. BEFORE THE DAY WAS OVER I HAD SOLD ALL THE BIG RATS. THE ONLY BRIGHT SPOT THERE IS I DON'T HAVE TO RE-CLEAN THE CAGE ON THURSDAY.

I HAD TWO OLDER LADIES COME IN AND BEFORE THEY GOT IN THE STORE THE LADY ACROSS THE STREET CALLED AND ASKED "DO YOU SEE WHATS COMING IN THE DOOR? DON'T YOU THINK WE NEED TO DYE OUR HAIR THAT COLOR? I DIDN'T THINK SHE WAS GOING TO EVER GET OUT OF THE CAR. IT TOOK HER SO LONG". CLICK. I WAS TRYING TO RING UP A CUSTOMER AT THE TIME. I JUST SMILED AND HUNG UP THE PHONE. THE OLDEST LADY HAD BRIGHT RED HAIR LIKE TEENAGERS WEAR.
AFTER A GOOD WHILE SHE DECIDES ON A DRAFT RABBIT. SHE ASKS ABOUT A CHEAP CAGE. I SHOW HER THE CHEAPEST ONE FOR IT'S SIZE AND TELL HER THE PRICE. SHE LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS CRAZY AND SAID " BUT IT'S FREE." [ME] NO I'M SORRY IT'S NOT FREE. [HER] "WELL THE SIGN OUTSIDE THE DOOR SAYS FREE CAGE WITH RABBIT". [ME] SHOW ME. WE GO TO THE DOOR AND SHE SAYS SEE. [ME] YES I SEE. IT SAYS FREE HAMSTER WITH PURCHASE OF 24.99 AND UP CAGE. AND THEN YORKIE--- CHINCHILLA----RABBITS. I'M SORRY BUT IT'S TALKING ABOUT 4 DIFFERENT THINGS. SHE WASN'T HAPPY BUT SHE GOT HER RABBIT ANYWAY.
THE OTHER LADY HAD BEEN PUTTING A LOT OF DOG THINGS ON THE COUNTER. SHE COMES TO THE COUNTER READY TO LEAVE SO I PICK UP THE FIRST ITEM SO I CAN RING IT UP. WELL SHE JUST TAKES IT AWAY FROM ME AND SAID SHE REALLY DID LIKE IT BUT SHE COULDN'T PAY THAT FOR IT. THEN SHE GETS ANOTHER TOY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN.SHE HANDED ME 4 THINGS THAT SHE DIDN'T WANT. ON THE 5TH ONE I STARTED TO GET IT AND PUT IT WITH THE OTHERS AND SHE SAID SHE WOULD PUT IT BACK. WELL SHE DID PUT IT BACK AND SHE GOT SEVERAL MORE THINGS. WELL SAME THING.WE DID THIS 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAD A LOT TO PUT BACK ON THE SHELVES.
MY OTHER CUSTOMERS WERE SO NICE. THEY JUST SMILED. IT WAS FUNNY IT'S JUST THAT I WAS BUSY. IF NO ONE ELSE HAD BEEN IN THERE I WOULD HAVE BEEN BACK THERE HELPING HER PICK OUT MORE FOR ME TO PUT BACK. I THINK SHE JUST WANTED TO TALK TO SOMEONE.
TUESDAY WAS MOUSE DAY. EVERYONE NEARLY THAT CAME IN WANTED A MOUSE OR RAT. AND ONLY ONE MAN BELIEVED IN SELF SERVE DAY. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? NO FUNNY CUSTOMERS JUST A LOT OF REALLY CUTE KIDS.
OH , A LADY DID LET ME KNOW THAT THERE WAS A HAMSTER OR MOUSE OR RAT OR SOMETHING DARK RUNNING AROUND IN THE FLOOR. I TOLD HER I WAS WEARING SANDALS AND THAT REALLY WASN'T WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR. WELL AFTER SHE STOPS LAUGHING SHE SAYS SHE COULD LIE AND SAY SHE DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. WELL TO LATE.
WE'RE CLOSED ON WED. I STILL HAD TO GO TO TOWN AND FEED AND WATER EVERYTHING. YES I EVEN FEED THE MICE AND RATS.
OH I ALMOST FORGOT I GOT BIT BY A COCKATIEL. IT WAS OUT OF THE OPEN BED WE KEEP THEM IN MONDAY AND TUESDAY. I PICKED IT UP MONDAY. WELL NOT TUESDAY. I BLED FOR A GOOD WHILE. TIM WAS AT CARDIAC REHAB. I HAD TO CALL HIM AND HAVE HIM BRING ME SOME BAND AIDS. IT STILL HURTS.
