This is going to be the post I wish existed for me a week ago.

I visited Germany last week and flew through the Munich airport. Sometime between getting through customs and driving away in my rental car, I lost my carry-on backpack which contained among other things my laptop, medication, and books. As soon as I realized the problem, which was about 5 hours later once I arrived at my Wohnung and got settled, I filed the report through the MUC Fundbuero. Several hours later I got an email just to say that my report was still active and they hadn't gotten a match yet. I then sent the Fundbuero an email basically just to follow up and see if I could talk to a human. No response until I got another automated email the next day saying they still didn't find anything. I also tried calling the rental car company directly, since I vaguely remembered losing the backpack when I was at the parking garage near their office, but all 8 times I called resulted in 2 minutes of ringing followed by a busy signal and a disconnect. There was no way I could talk to anybody remotely.

This was defeating. However, I really wanted this backpack. I drove 3 hours back to the Munich airport to get to the Fundbuero desk. They immediately knew what backpack I was talking about and, despite what their emails said, they did have it with absolutely everything. I paid a nominal 30 euro fee because my laptop was in there (still kind of ridiculous that they held it for ransom like that, but I am not an EU citizen and I do not have rights so I shall not protest at this time).

The point of this post is to tell anyone who was in my position to not trust the emails and to just go back to the airport and talk to them! Now I am only left to wonder how many people never did this and wrongly thought their stuff was gone forever...

I used my Chase freedom unlimited points to book a cheap rental thru Hertz in Munich. When I got there they were missing some information and weren’t able to give me my car, so they lent me an admittedly much better car but I had to pay out of pocket for it. I think my points are also still gone. I used a different card to pay for the rental I got just to avoid FTF. Do I have any recourse to get the money covered back or did Chase just fuck me?

They’re always off kilter. Either they’re way too into the fact that their pet eats their prey alive, or they’re taking very improper care but way more self assured, or they’re meth addicts

I feel like the conversation always finds itself centered on a one state solution where Israelis are ethnically cleansed as somehow being the just and reasonable outcome

I think that I work at one of the better PetSmarts as far as our husbandry goes, primarily due to the effort of our morning Specialist who I do appreciate a lot. There’s so much more that we aren’t doing but apparently corporate watches resources that get store used very hawkishly, so we can’t give the hamsters adequate bedding or wheels…

Anyway one silly little thing is that my store has like a dozen common plecos sitting around. If they’re dying in there then I’m not the one pulling them; they seem to be subsisting okay for now. But you all hopefully know as well as I do that they do get absolutely massive and, if you just want a bandaid solution for algae overgrowth, the juice is not worth the squeeze.

I actively discourage all the fish people that come in (I don’t think I can call them aquarium hobbyists) from buying them for their nano/sub-nano tanks for those reasons, directing them instead to shut off their lights and keep them on a timer or to get live plants or, if they really really want to throw an animal at the problem, some nerites or harmless pest snails.

Is that why we have so many plecos sitting around? Or is the corporate quota really that ridiculously high for them?

How can I be expected to harass customers to get a phone number, download the app and activate offers in an area with no cell service, pre enroll with autoship they don’t need because they like coming in person on that same app, buy a puppy guide, and talk up training courses in one transaction while I’m the only cashier? People don’t want any of this stuff and even trying to do one of those things creates a massive line. This doesn’t even include the seasonal stuff like chance and friends or adoption week. It’s not good for anybody! I’m not getting paid $14.50 to be a master salesman, that’s hardly enough for being a regular cashier let alone being the only thing standing between our animals and an early death from abusive would-be customers.
