One of those good store stories

[Trillianne]

So this evening... we returned out dead corys for replacements. And my pet shop tested the water and everything was fine on their end too... so the theory they suggested and I'm likely to believe is that they had lots of stress and crowding for the sale, so that's likely the issue.

So I got my replacements... and we head out on our way.... and the truck is dead.

One of the fine people at the pet store tried her best to help us jump it. (She was the reptile lady! We talked lizards and snakes for a bit!) Told us we weren't even the first person that day with that issue. Still couldn't get the thing to start.

We call AAA, and send her off to close up.... by now it was about 10 minutes to close. Now I can't be certain, but based on the time they closed the doors and released half the employees... I think the fella that netted my fish, the woman that helped jump the car, and the head fish manager hung around for a good 20 minutes past close time to see that we were going to be on our way.

That is the type of caring people that make it worth driving an extra 40 minutes to buy from!

Those people are getting some fresh baked cookies and the reptile pro woman... she's getting something extra.

Shh Trill! You are raising the bar on 'outrageous expectations we should all be entitled to from LFS employees' ;-P

Good People! Maybe get the Reptile lady some crickets for her buddies also

I love making cookies.... I make cookies for the bf's work for the past couple years... and now he's quitting that job and working from home.

I worry for my future waistline!

Well then, make some oatmeal cookies instead! You can use rolled oats instead of flour if you grind it up a food processor.

Also thumbs up for those people who helped you guys. They are really rare nowadays.

Some of the oddest-looking cookies I've ever seen. What do they taste like?

[Trillianne]

Rainbows!

Or sugar cookies... roughly the same thing

Lol. Don't suppose I could convince you to send one or two up this way next time you make them?
