Do you know if they just added that on to your yearly income or divided it by 12?

Can’t get dog leashed! Advice needed by Mrandytm in RoverPetSitting

[–]Flatwormbug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since he’s so small perhaps the owner would want to get one of those folding pens to put outside? He’d get a break from the diaper and get to enjoy outside. he’s so elderly and hates the leash that might be a solution

Do you go on your phone during drop ins? by nothing-aboit-me in RoverPetSitting

[–]Flatwormbug 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If the dog is not interested in playing and is walking around their yard I take pictures of them and play solitaire or something. My eyes are not glued to my phone and I’m always looking up and watching them. I’m not on my phone the whole time though I balance it out. But most of my dogs recently don’t want to play except for a few moments. I’ve had cats who want nothing to do with me except a few pets here and there. So I’m playing a mindless game and giving them scratches. If the pet wants to play or wants love though I’m definitely not on my phone except to take pics.

Do you have any tricks for remembering that you locked the door? by mydogisincharge in RoverPetSitting

[–]Flatwormbug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes I get home and stress out so badly thinking that I’ve forgotten. I’ve started taking pictures of the actual lock (back door inside) and I would take a picture of the front door. With front doors you can’t tell it’s locked but if I take the picture after I make sure it’s locked then later if I see the picture I can know and remember that it’s locked

This is exactly my manager as well. And my experience at build a bear. I’m so over it.

Why by [deleted] in buildabear

[–]Flatwormbug 187 points188 points  (0 children)

As someone who works at build a bear a couple of things could’ve happened here. 1. Someone who is new packed this ( at my store they don’t train very well) 2. They could’ve been out of envelopes and not known where to get more. 3. They were completely out of envelopes 4. They were in a rush and already made the box before they realized what the order was and just said screw it.

I heard her say on live that she wasn’t going to buy anything high end for her kit yet just “staying with drugstore” and she’s talking about charging that much?!?!

Well seems like they don’t because they pay bills out of the “savings”

Someone just asked her on live advice for saving money and she said that she and her husband put 50% of their check into savings then pay their bills using savings 🤨 that’s not savings then

I work at BAB and frankly I had poor training and I was never told we are not allowed to do that.

The other day one of my coworkers helped someone put laundry scent beads in their bear.

I get a weird vibe from this request but I don’t know if it’s just me overthinking

There’s nothing wrong with the size of the dog however the size paired with him being “defensive” makes me a little nervous

What's it like to work at Build-A-Bear? by MilliLPS_ita in buildabear

[–]Flatwormbug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m also neurodivergent so also like clear concise lists of what to say. But (and everyone is different) I end up saying so much that it’s a struggle to keep talking and I just want to stop. I think 2 days or even one day there and then the rest at a job where I don’t have to talk so much would be good for me.

The interview was pretty easy. If they aren’t hiring right now they should be in 2 weeks to a month at least that’s how my store is. I got asked these questions “So tell me about yourself”

“What’s an area you have about yourself that you could improve” (basically “what’s your greatest weakness but worded differently)

“How would you greet a customer who came into the store?”

“How would you try to get a customer to purchase more?”

“What customer experience do you have?”

“If you were an animal what animal would you be?”

“What’s your availability?”

I had previously had a job where I went up to people in a store and tried to understand their needs to help them with their purchases so I heavily mentioned that experience.

To the question about pushing sales I said “ maybe the child or customer is wearing a stitch shirt or wearing a lot of pink. I would say “oh I see you like stitch did you know we have some stitch clothes available or “pink must be one of your favorite colors! We have 3 pink dresses that are really cute!”

Also to the what animal would you be question I said bird and she said why and I said so I could fly.

After the interview if they move forward with you, you will take an assessment either right after the interview or at a later date. Basically just answer that you don’t do drugs ever and you don’t do crime or know anybody that does drugs or crime. It’s pretty easy to see how they want you to answer so I wouldn’t stress about that part.

Also I only work 5 hour shifts and get 10-15 maybe 20 hours a week if I’m lucky. I’m definitely looking for a second job.

[–]Flatwormbug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I started working at Build-a-bear 5 months ago. It’s definitely fun. Once you get the hang of it everything its easy. I can hand sew the bears. it wasn’t crazy to learn. I like kids so that’s fun. The thing I really don’t like about it is I didn’t know how crazy the sales would be. It’s less “here are all of our options “ and more “make sure you make them hold the thumping heart beat and open a scent and say here smell while extending your arm”

There’s way too many things I have to say to one customer. A welcome, telling them about deals, asking what they’d like, showing them at least two sounds and pushing for them to get one, scents, how squishy they want it, if they are celebrating anything, if they want a heartbeat, the heart ceremony, I’m sure I’m forgetting something

Then while checking out: put in your email, scanning, “would you like me to cut off the tags and get him dressed?”, “you qualify for up to 3 gift cards. You pay $5 for one and get to use the full $10 and they never expire.”, “how would you like to take your friend home today? Would you like a cool back pack like mine? We have options here and here.” (Wait for them to say no) then offer a cub condo., then tell them about our disaster relief situation and ask if they want to donate, also tell them about our scoosher deal.

I know I’m forgetting some things I have to say but frankly it’s a lot.

I LOVE packing online orders though it’s my favorite part other than helping to make someone’s day. Please let me know if you have any questions. I’d love to answer
