So petland can definatly suck my balls...lol. This is what happened when i called in today (1st time ever) :
Gia:hello. it's a great day at petland Gia speaking. How can i help you?
Me: Hey Gia it's Melissa, who is the manager on staff?
Gia: Oh hey! Um Sam is.
Me: Just Sam?
Gia: Yeah.
Me: Well can I talk to him?
Gia: Sure hold on.
Me: ***Waiting***
Gia: Actually you know I think he went on break about 10 minutes ago.
Me: Oh okay.
Gia: did you want me to give him a message?
Me: Well my car broke down and I can't make it tonight. I've called everyone and nobody can give me a ride.
Gia: Oh well, um he should be back soon. Can you just call back in about 10 mins.
Me: Sure
***Waits 10 mins***
Gia: It's a great day at petland this is Gia. How can i help you?
Me: Hey Gia it's me. Is sam back yet.
Gia: Yup, hold
Me: ***Waiting***
Gia: You know what hun, he's on the other line with a customer or something. If you want to just call back in about another 10 mins?
Me: Sure, thanks.
***Waits 10 mins***
Gia: It's a great day at pet....
Me:It's me again can I talk to him.
Gia:Sure hold on just a second.
Me: Alright.
Much to my dismay Sam wasn't the only manager working, the entire time I was waiting to speak to a manager, and also no one had told the owner, the general and hiring manager, was working. Now heres a little back information on this douche bag (Dave Barrens). He is really someone that you have to tiptoe around. Watch what you say and when you say it. DO NOT EVER let him catch you taking a breather, always be busy around him. Well lately he has been having to run the store and that was a very big deal to everyone, he is for real the BIGGEST asshole i've ever met in my whole life, which is really saying something. he'd already pissed me off before today, not to mention pissed off my dad. Now he answers the phone! Gia was supposed to tell someone that I was in a bit of a Jam and it turns out nobody was told! back to the dialogue:
Dave: Hello this is Dave.
Me: ***suprised like no other on the verge of shitting myself*** Oh Hi...It's Melissa.
Dave: What can I do for you?
Me: Well the thing is that my car has broke down and I probably won't be able to make it in to work I've called...
Dave: Absolutly not.
Me: WHAT?!?!
Dave: No, you have got to come in to work.
Me: Dave what do you expect me to do?
Dave: I don't care but you have to come!
Me: I've already called everyone...my car is broke down I can't...
Dave: This is ridiculous! YOU'RE DONE!***hangs up***
This REALLY pisses me off. I've worked the hardest ever in my LIFE at that fricking pet store and it's bullshit. Not only was i the top sales person (bringing in $7000 a week) but on average i send home 2 dogs per day!
Calls them back this time Donna answers, my favorite manager and sister-in-law to David.
Donna: It's a great day at Petland Donna speaking...
Me: He fired me!
Donna: Melissa?
Me: YES! He just fired the best salesperson you have.
Donna: Oh my god. I'll call you back, I'm going to go have a talk with him.
***waits 20 mins to tell dad I'm fired***
DAD:HE FIRED YOU (altered words a bit)
Me: he sure did.
Dad: for calling in because your car broke down and you couldn't find a ride?
Me: Sure did!
Dad: What is their phone number up there?
Me: 248-666-6011
Dad: Okay. ***Calls them as I leave the room***
Sounds of my dad having 'a few words' with Dave come the other room and I can't help but be proud of him.
So yeah Basically the Petland in waterford just lost their best sales person and I'm predicting that in no time flat it is going to be going down the poop-hole.
