And then on the way back, I stopped at this place called [name] in [city], Michigan which is near [city]. It’s like kind of right over the state line and it started out okay, but then this employee was like following me. And I could tell she was following me and I was like so creeped out. And I kinda like hurried out and I like went out to my car and she took a picture of my car which was really creepy. And so I asked her if she had a question and she said, “Yeah,” but then she just walked away. And so I walked back inside and I was trying to ask her what her problem was and she said that she didn’t understand why I was there taking so many pictures. And I was like so confused. And I asked her for a refund because like she ruined my experience, obviously. She wouldn’t give me a refund. So now I have to like take it up with my credit card company, which is annoying but I was like a victim of criminal activity, so it shouldn’t be hard to get a refund from my credit card, hopefully anyway.
But then I was like trying to email a manager or something because obviously like her stalking was so inappropriate, but then when I Googled it, I saw that PETA had been — had tipped off the US Department of Agriculture, I think and they ended up being fined about a year and a half ago for improper care of animals, so then it all clicked and I realized that like she thought I was from PETA. So, when I was there, I had noticed that the aviary was in like really bad condition. So I went to the PETA website and I found their like non immediate danger form and I filled it out and, um — the ironic thing is like if the woman had just like been better at customer service like I would, I would’ve left it alone or if she had given me a refund, I might not even have been as mad but like because she’s making me go through all the work of like filing to see if my credit card and what not, it’s making me like more upset and hopefully she has to suffer the consequences of her terrible behavior now.
