Happy June!

I should write all my work stories into here (the ones that are PG). It'd be funny and a good way to record them all.

So...Tonight's story of the night....

A dog. A dog that just WANDERED into our store. A dog that was lost and REALLY friendly.

So this dog walked into our store (someone must have let it in) and was wandering around our store. It decided it liked our cafe and went and sat in the seating area with some of our customers. Of course, it being a cafe, that's not sanitary. So we litterally dragged the dog out of the cafe and got it onto the carpeting area and the sat sat/laid down with one of our employees (she had to watch the dog to make sure they didn't go back into the cafe). It was almost an hour that this dog was just chillin' in our store. We called animal control (no one ever came), we had customers who would adopt the dog, we had employees that would take the dog home for a night. The dog was super friendly. Kind of looked like a Golden Lab, but it wasn't. One of the employees was calling all the stores around us (Target, Ross, Pets Mart, Boston Market, Burger King (yes, BK), etc) to ask them to announce over the PA that we had a dog at our store and to please come and get them. We also called the number on the dog's tag, but it was for the Arizona Humane Society and the place was closed. Then...one of our customers LET the dog out of our store. We couldn't really do anything so...the dog went outside. We don't know where the dog went. Then...disaster hit...The owners came and wanted their dog about 20 minutes after the dog left! When we told them we didn't have the dog anymore they got UPSET with US! Then we found out that they were actually sitting in our store reading while their dog happened to also be in our store and the dog got out of their car because they have a "soft-covered" Jeep. *rolls eyes* For some reason...our store attracts weird things...They thought we should have kept the dog. They left the information for the dog at our information and they left. We told them to go check the other stores around us, but we don't know if they found her or not. My co-workers and I were trying our best not to get upset that they 1) left their dog untied in their car 2) that they LEFT their dog IN a car for an hour so they could read and 3) the gall that they had to get mad at us for not having their dog.

So, yes, that is the story of my night...the joy it was...
