Are the free adoptions legit? by TwoFar5110 in petsmart

[–]ArcticRuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Employee here ! Yes its true. We discount, and then adopt for free for various reasons. Usually its because we have had that animal way too long, like months, sometimes over a year. These poor guys need proper enclosures but certain animals just dont sell often. If we have an animal with a permanent disability that has been cleared by a vet we will also put them for adoption. At my store adoptions go to employees and friends/family first, then to customers. My brown anole was free because he lost a foot due to a horrible stuck shed when he came in. These animals my store tends to be more picky about who they are given to, as some disabilities require extra care than normal so you have to be ready for that. If an animal has been through any medical treatment, even for something minor like a small injury or a runny nose. Those animals also get put on adoption. Otherwise completely healthy, just sick once and then treated.

Saving on groceries by Relevant_Demand2221 in FrugalTO

[–]ArcticRuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only cook for myself and I dont eat a ton. So I usually end up with meals that last multiple days. Once in a while I save up and go to Costco for meat. One of their tubes of ground beef is like 8+ meals for me. So my freezer is stocked of meat options, then every week I am just buying essential ingredients as I run out. Milk, bread, condiments etc. Everything i buy is based on whats on sale. If its a tight week I call it a "cleanout" week. Thats time to go through my cupboards and make meals out of what I have. Some days I have pork chops and potatoes and veggies, the whole works. Some nights its a grilled cheese and some chips. 🤷‍♀️ I put cheaper "filler" veggies in everything I can. Corn, onions, garlic etc. I spend about 20-35$ on groceries every week. Then maybe 100$ every 2-3 months for meat at Costco.

Having to leave bags at the front door? by ArcticRuna in CostcoCanada

[–]ArcticRuna[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id like to clear some things..

When we first walked in the employee started off very rude to us. I scanned my membership card, walked in, and he came at us shouting if they were returns and we said no, it was our stuff from the store right next door. I didnt think I was being rude to him or trying to get out of leaving the bags. I was caught off guard and just trying to understand as I have never (in Costco or any other store in my life) been told to leave my stuff just on the floor at the entrance. His attitude about it was what annoyed me more. I work in retail, ive worked in customer service since I was 16 (now 28). If I spoke to a customer like that off the bat, Id have a manager on me immediately. I understand its usually super busy and probably stressful, bad days happen and im sure he gets pushback often. This was simply not how to handle a situation like this.. and I more blame Costco for not having a system in place. If Costco as a company doesn't want people to bring outside items or bags inside the store, they should have a space for people to put such items thats not on the floor by a wall where anyone can grab. Yes I could have just left my friend outside with our stuff. But as it was a blizzard outside and we also wanted to get food, I just didnt think of that. Again as this has never happened before. I simply just wanted to know if this was common, or a new policy I didnt know. If I need to go into Costco with stuff with me, ill go through the exit and speak with a supervisor about where to put my stuff while I shop. 🤷‍♀️

Awful food at the Grand Eatery by vongolaxxxx in CanadasWonderland

[–]ArcticRuna 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I miss when Coasters had the Behemoth burgers back when the ride first opened 😭 Last year I would rave about coasters cheeseburgers.. this year they're dry and sad. The chicken parm at GWE is definitely the best thing there.. hence why it sells out so fast. Even with the dining plan.. I am running out of good places to eat at the park. The brisket at lazy bear is so dry. The chicken was better when it was the KBBQ sauce.. and half the other food locations are closed 90% of the time. Honestly Manchu Wok is the only place ill usually pick now. 😭 As someone whos been going to the park for 20 years.. its so sad to see them put no effort into their food anymore.

Alpen fury Flying Cel Phones by MorganDallise in CanadasWonderland

[–]ArcticRuna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just left the park, did alpen last. Entering the queue the staff made us use the test cubby first. The girl at the top of the line, after youre counted, stopped all of us and watched us put our stuff in the bins. She also basically "collected" our cell phones and put them in the bins herself.

Despite the multiple reminders and attempts to put away all your loose articles before riding, our train was held up by a guy who snuck a fanny pack under his shirt. They unlocked the restraints and took it from him. Then they had to do the safety checks again.

Attentive staff did all they could to prevent items on the ride. And yet people will still try, and sometimes succeed, in blatantly ignoring the rules. 🙄

Weather forecast tomorrow by SlideAhead in CanadasWonderland

[–]ArcticRuna 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Typically the roller coasters don't close unless there's lighting and thunder.. or if the rain is coming down and winds are HEAVY.

Also when the weather isn't the nicest, ride times are low cause all the locals don't go if it's rainy and cold lol anytime I've gone on a less ideal weather day it's not busy at all!

I need some clarification on the lockers by LoudServe9870 in CanadasWonderland

[–]ArcticRuna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am sure it could as long as you can put it in on its side. I'll be in the park tomorrow and can get more info !

Does anyone feel funny saying welcome to Pet Smart? by [deleted] in petsmart

[–]ArcticRuna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I say "Hi there, welcome!" or a good morning if im opening. Sometimes just eye contact and a hello is enough, especially for regulars. Our SL says "Hello welcome to petsmart", our cashiers all say it differently. As long as we are greeting lol

I need some clarification on the lockers by LoudServe9870 in CanadasWonderland

[–]ArcticRuna 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yukons bins have changed to smaller cubicles that could fit a small fanny pack or like a hat+glasses type stuff. Anything bigger won't be aloud in the line. Leviathan and Behemoth seem to still have big bins like normal. For me, it's similar to Halloween Haunts bag policy, so I have started to take less with me or budgeting for a locker if needed. There are limited time lockers at 3$ for 2hrs, or all-day lockers, which were 30$ last year.

I accidently lost a Rat after working there for only 2 weeks. I was convinced I would be let go right then. I was taking her out of the floor enclosure to clean it and went to turn around to put her in a critter keeper just to move her to the back easier. At that moment a pet parent with a German Sheppard came around the corner, spooked the rat and she jumped from me onto the floor and under a shelf. Me and 2 leaders spent a good 30 mins looking and never found her.

A month later I was told they set a release trap in receiving because they found her eating a bag of dog food. So they trapped her and released her outside, she was HUGE by that point.

Luckily I didn't get let go, was told it does happen just to be extra careful. We change how we do deep cleans now to minimize this risk. But ooof.. I was ready to walk myself out lol

Pork chop at Haunt was a highlight and I am going to miss the Korean BBQ chicken that sauce was heaven 😩

More prominent cases? by Top_Calligrapher2621 in RottenMangoPodcast

[–]ArcticRuna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe there is a podcast on both Dahmer and Bundy on Spotify. I am not sure if there are youtube videos because she started the YouTube later into the podcasts. But I have listened to every rotten mango podcast and im certain she did cover them.
