I didn't get to think, that was the problem. I was the lowly person that stood there babysitting a machine, measuring random parts. ack.

That was my last shop, I was hired there as a manager/programmer. About a month went by before I asked about why I haven't done anything but been a button pusher. The plant manager had no idea I was hired as that. It wasn't a big company either. I knew then I should run for the door. That was the worst metal cutting job I have ever had.

Doesn't sound like a service dog to me. There are such things as "psychiatric" service dogs, but more than likely the one she had was an "emotional support dog" which is not the same as a service dog and not allowed to go into places like a service dog is. Psychiatric service dogs are usually used when people have anxiety or panic disorder and the dog is trained to do different things to distract the person, get them out of a public place, fetch meds, call for help. They are actually very useful and needed for some people.

Yup, I've seen them and they are gorgeous! Sort of the wood version of Sears' stackable tool boxes. I'd love to get a base unit... :)


We may or may not be catching the same about a customer today. :( It was the third customer that walked in with a dog that I apologized to and asked them to take it outside. She claimed it was a service dog. Since it was being held belly up in her arms, I repeated "Service dog?" sort of as a question. She said yes it is, do you have a question. It sounded like a dare, so I got the supervisor, who repeated the request to take the dog outside. Long story short, the customer came up with paperwork signed by a Dr. (an orthopedist I think) that stated it was a mental health service animal. :blink:

The problem is, the dog was obviously NOT a trained service animal. The lady put her down on the floor to address her package, and the dog immediately went up to the nearest person and started sniffing and wagging its tail. :glare:

WTH are we supposed to do??? And I wonder if she gets away with taking her dog into the grocery store and restaurants with her??
