EVERY. DAY. 

I only get 30 minutes for lunch out of an entire 10 hour day. We have a sign on the door and on the window that says “Closed daily 1:00 to 1:30”  We also put out a 3rd sign during lunch and we sit it RIGHT ON TOP OF THE SIGN-IN SHEET. They can even see me eating. But, it never fails that someone sticks their head through the window and is all “EXCUUUUSEE MEEEEE?”

Why does it seem like I’m the only one here who knows how dishwashers work? They don’t magically erase food— if you leave oatmeal/quinoa/curry (god forbid, curry!) crusted to your dish it will still be there in the morning. And guess who gets to scrape it off…

Top Text: “Customer calls pet boarding facility thinking it’s the vet”

Bottom Text: “Proceeds to indirectly complain about the pet boarding facility”]

I work as a part time receptionist at a small pet boarding facility in a small town somewhere.

We have a local veterinarian business in the same town with a similar name, the only difference is the last word of the business name which theirs is “Hospital”. I take a phone call from a client who is thinking we are the vet. First let me say that I answer the phone clearly saying “Thank you for calling [business name]. My name is [name]. How may I help you?”

Well she went on to say something like this: “I want to make an appointment to get shots for my dog. I want to take him to [pet boarding facility] but they need me to update his shots AGAIN.” The last part of her sentence was said in an angry sarcastic tone. My reply was “Ma’am. This is [pet boarding facility].” To which she said “Oh” and then quickly hung up. We don’t ask people to update their vaccines frequently, just so long as they are current with their vet or wherever they get them done. But that phone gave me a good chuckle. :]

Mondays mostly involve hanging up the phone to answer the other six lines ringing. I’ll hear that phone in my nightmares.

Top Text: “You can see that I’m busy with a task you told me is to be done now”

Bottom Text: “And you can’t answer my phone just once?”]

I hate it when I’m actually doing something AS A FAVOR to one of the staff, and my phone rings, and they’re standing beside it and can’t even go “Please hold”, instead they just watch me struggle to make it there in time to answer.
