A Client Broke Into My Work

Discussion in 'Off Topic' started by Muschi, Jun 22, 2019.

  1. The title says it all.

    I work at a dog daycare, boarding facility, grooming salon... you name it, we probably do it.

    This woman is a newer client. Only been coming here maybe a week or two to use our daycare package. Now, we have a contract full of lots of legal jargon that clients hage to sign and agree to. Part of this contract includes that if you do not pick your dog up before 6PM (when we close), that you will need to pick your dog up after we open the following day and you will be charged an overnight fee.

    This woman shows up at 6:30PM and apparently expected to be able to pick up her dog. No one want in our main office to hear her banging at the door, and even if she was, she would have been turned away because we are closed and she technically agreed to our contact that states that the dog will be boarded overnight if she is late.

    We're all back in the kennels closing up for the night. I'm handing out dinner, a few other employees are double checking to make sure the kennels are all clean w/ fresh water... that type of thing.

    The customer went back onto our property in the back, over a huge fence we had (she didn't have the key to our gate, so she must have climbed over the fence) and tried all the back doors til she found one she could get open.

    Then she walked into the kennels and started yelling at the first employee she found and started accusing them of kidnapping her dog.

    There's a whole production with the supervisors and the manager trying to deescalate the situation. Eventually the woman gets her dog ー who, might I add, was given dinner and some blankets and was already sleeping ー and goes home.

    My manager needs to discuss with the owners of my work about pressing charges. We obviously have security footage of the whole thing. I'm still absolutely dumbfounded.

    Anyway, I have two things to ask of you:
    1. Do you have any wild breaking-and-entering stories from your work, or other similar situations where clients go above and beyond to wreak absolute havoc?
    2. The first person to correctly guess the type of dog this woman has gets 5 chibis. You get one hint: the dog is purebred. Please type the full name of the breed of dog (ex. don't say "Lab", say "Labrador Retriever"). You may only guess once!
     
  2. Wild.

    I would break into the Pentagon for my dog, but like... not if I signed a contract saying I had to pick her up in the morning. Haha

    Was it a German shepherd?
     
  3. Give us another clue!! A lot of doggies are pure bred is the dog big or small?

    I was very small when recession occurred and my dad lost his job as well. We went to a dirty ass neighbourhood apartment from a good house to live on our savings. Didn’t know how long recession would last.
    Once, a guy called in with our buzzer code and ordered us to open the front door of the building. My mom declined saying she had no idea who he was and ended the call.
    This building had no security, it was night and we heard banging on our door.
    My dad was out, my bros were too young to fight.
    That guy tried breaking in our apartment just cuz we didn’t open the building door! He stayed for half an hour! Just banging, and trying to get in. (Police were called but took them ages to come, after the guy left already)
    Scary ass shit.
    Thankfully my dad found an even better job and we moved out.
     
  4. My guess too cuz people are damn possessive of them and flaunt that their shepards are “purebred” lol
    Thats why i asked if dog was big or small, if big that, if small then maybe a Pomeranian
     
  5. I work in the kitchen and we just got a new line cook. He was pretty cool but when all the other cooks were outside smoking a fire alarm went off inside. Firefighters came into the kitchen and didn’t find anything, no one knew who set the alarm but they found out the alarm went off in the basement bathroom. I came in and went to bathroom in the basement and found a flask. I discreetly told my boss about it and apparently the new hire smoked weed in the bathroom and left his flask cause he got scared when the alarm went off. He got fired and he went apeshít and started screaming threats and had to be escorted by the police ?
     
  6. The dog was a chihuahua
     
  7. While I was working a few months back, some crackhead came into the store and started beating one of the cashiers with the cashiers’ own cane.
     
  8. Damn. ?
     
  9. It is not a:
    • German Shepherd
    • Pomeranian
    • Yorkshire Terrier
    • Chihuahua
    Also, sorry! Purebred is the only hint I'm giving, at least for now.
     
  10. That lady b like "I'm trespassing like a boss". Jokes aside, I hope whatever measures will be taken will teach her a thing or two.

    1. I used to work at this agency that does websites for clients. One day, this one lady stepped into our office for a meeting she was gonna have with my boss. As soon as I saw her face, I got this feeling that said she was gonna create trouble somehow.

    So she had the meeting, and she went back to her own work afterwards. We started working on her (slightly bigger) site right away because apparently it was urgent and super expensive, in comparison to whatever we were working on before.

    Then my boss got called by this lady every day. At first, just to be asked when the site was going to be ready. Then to tell us her son broke her laptop, so she can't see how the site looks on a computer screen. Then she started calling at 2am every dang night to complain about how her son and husband don't help her with anything around the house, or earn money.

    After a few nights of that, my boss said to us "ok, we will bring this website to a state where it looks okay-ish on all platforms, and then we stop working altogether on it. I won't even offer her our extra service package, I'm done being called every night."

    And from then on, my boss added a line in future contracts that said something like "No calls outside of the 8am-4pm interval. No calls that are unrelated to the product that is being developed."

    2. Corgi. Dunno much about dogs, but Google says it's purebred and I feel she'd have a cute one like that.
     
  11. That is wild. Always read and understand the contract before signing. ? I hope charges get pressed.

    One morning, I arrived at the restaurant (years ago), and a homeless man had broke in, drank a few bottles of wine, and passed out on one of the benches. ? Had to have the cops escort him out, and they finally got him out right before the first customers arrived. He did not want to leave.

    Was the dog a poodle?
     
  12. There are 2 breeds of corgi. Which one is your guess?
     
  13. Can i guess can i guess?? I know i know!!!
     
  14. Pembroke
     
  15. I thought welsh
     
  16. I don't have any story but was it a Russell Terrier?
     
  17. @-Sodagirl-: both breeds of corgi have Welsh in the name. Pembroke Welsh Corgi and Cardigan Welsh Corgi.
     
  18. It is not a:
    • German Shepherd
    • Pomeranian
    • Yorkshire Terrier
    • Chihuahua
    • Pembroke Welsh Corgi
    • Poodle
    • Russell Terrier
    Also, sorry! Purebred is the only hint I'm giving, at least for now.
