B!TC# IT OUT!

How can he possibly still be in buniness after all those complaints and bad reviews?!?!?!?!?!

Is there nothing that can be done to get him out of buniness? (or at least make him massivly improve his quality?)

speaking as an animal expert, you best keep them in separate rooms or that will be a dead bird. some dogs' hunting.catching instinct is , well, "the force is strong in this one". id cry if i saw you post a bad ending.

Damn, with constant instances like that, i'm surprised he hasn't been red flagged like fishbutts in the reviews section. That really sucks Riiarin. Makes me feel ashamed he's even in the same state as myself.

Yeah, totally Arion. Wow.
It could be polycarbonate though, but it shouldn't snap like that. I feel so sorry for you Riiarin, I know how horrible it feels to have to almost give up on a tail.
I hope you can give it enough first aid till your Finfolk arrives.

I have done so much to it by this point I believe I can pull this off too. Have to cut it open, find a monofin that fits, make it stick, close it, re-paint UGGGHHHHDMSÖAÄÄADBNS!!!!
I have used it 1-4 times a week for only 1 year

think about that! I have been super caring, always!

Dear Pearlie, any wise words to share?

Well, it can probably be salvaged. I don't know if you want to spend any more money on it, though. If you like, I can take a stab at replacing the fin and do what I can to refurbish it, but you might want to wait until winter as I'm pretty jammed with tails right now.

As for advice on doing it yourself, I'd need lots of photos. Let me know what you'd like to do!

So pissed off from work last night. Rant incoming.

Okay so I work at JcPenney and when I started in October I was hired in the Sephora. I fucking loved it. Best job ever. January rolled around and they wanted to keep us all but didn't have enough room so they moved me into the women's department until they needed me again. I've been waiting since then. I walked in yesterday to return something and there were five fucking new girls.
Are you fucking kidding me?! If you weren't going to move me back, don't tell me you were and don't fucking keep my hopes up. Everyone in the fucking store from the store manager down to the LP guys know that was the only reason I stuck around. I'm looking for a new job and when I get one you can fucking bet I'm going to give those little shits a piece of my mind.

Also, I'm down to being scheduled once a week because we hired like 20 new people. Like the girl I closed with last night. She was moving so fucking slow, I had to tell her what to do like six separate times (basic stuff like clear out your fitting room, make sure you call out for breaks, fold messy tables, etc) and then I had to go over everything that she had "recovered" and do all of it again. When you're the only two people in a department that takes up one quarter of the floor that is so fucked up!

AAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!

Sounds like typical retail, Raayvhen.

**Raayvhen** · 06-14-2015, 05:10 PM

I've worked retail for over four years at three different places. Thanks for coming on here and trying to completely invalidate a rant I posted in a thread specifically for ranting. Your comment was so helpful.

**Mermaid Kelda** · 06-14-2015, 05:58 PM

That's a bit harsh. I agree, it does sound like typical retail. That doesn't mean you don't have every right to complain about it.

**Aysun_the_Mermaid** · 06-14-2015, 06:47 PM

I am so angry and the only phrase I can think of to concisely explain how I feel is the incredibly crass euphemism:

Shit or get off the pot

My intent with the comment was to commiserate, not invalidate. Sorry it came across the wrong way. I've worked retail for over a decade, so I know what you're going through.

So I have this young girl following me on my Instagram. She thinks that she could sell silicone tails for $200.
One, that isn't even the cost of one set of silicone.
Two, you can't even make a profit off that
Three, children shouldn't get silicone tails until they have for sure stopped growing.

I have observed that young kids saying those kind of things just want to engage in conversation. From my experience, they cannot grasp the difference between $200 and $2000. If it is more than their weekly allowance, it's just a lot.

I had a girl of about 7 years old asked me how much my tail cost. Because she knew it was a costume, you see. I told her the truth (about $200) and she gasped and said "Wow, you must be RICH!!!!".

Don't let it get to you. She just doesn't know what she is talking about - cost materials? Profit? What are those??

You too? I keep getting one on my Etsy shop who is begging me for a tail for $280. And insists on telling me she's 13 years old OVER AND OVER. Like that's some sort of incentive. I was nice the first few times, then I had to lay down the law and tell her (nicely) to stop bugging me and write back when she's done growing.

$280 is such a specific amount.
