Having participated in this forum for a while, and having read almost all of Maddie's posts since she started coming here, no. I would not ask myself that question.

Not having noticed any of your posts until your abrasive remark earlier, I have to admit, however, that the thought occurred to me regarding you.

I have been buying my goat feed at a local place for over a year now. The load out guy was always mean to me, broke bags, etc. The gals behind the counter were not overly friendly, my husband wanted me to go somewhere else. I didn't, I haven't and just in the last month have they warmed up to me (due to one of them making a mistake and giving me "meatmaker" chicken feed instead of Meat Goat feed). I just went in and nicely joked about "you did it again!" (it wasn't the first time). Now, when I go in they are as nice as they can be. I was never unkind to those folks. One doesn't necessarily mean the other.

ETA: I outlasted the mean load out guy too! He's gone now.

She probably mixed up coccidia with cocci which is a bacteria

Rude workers make it hard to really enjoy shopping at a particular store. I know there are certain stores in certain towns that I just don't like due to a rude worker. I will go to the same "chain" in another town, but avoid a store just due to one nasty worker at times. I don't know if everyone is that way, but I am.

mekasmom - I will not shop at certain stores if I know the people who work there are rude. Life is to short for me to have to deal with nasty people.

Pony- You are welcome sugars. I cannot stand the lets blame everyone else for what is wrong with us and not ourselves. Drives me nuts!!! We have a few friends because we got rid of those types of people. So seeing that person take a shot at Maddie (Who I have never seen be rude to anyone on here and is a young kid) well... I was

If one wanted to split hairs finely enough viruses,bacteria,worms,flukes and protozoans could all be considerd parasites if they live,feed and breed in another living creature to that hosts detriment.

You were more "right" than she but many would have stopped looking for your product after not finding it in the wormer section. I am glad you got it and hope it takes care of your kids needs. bee

LOL... I was just about to write something like this when I saw your post. Funny.

My daughter works for TSC and loves her job. When she was hired the manager told her flat out at the interview that the reason he called her and set it up so quickly was because of her experience (gardens, dogs, cats, poultry, rabbits, goats, horses, a little with cattle, construction, etc) and as he hired her on the spot he gave her a starting pay higher than most new hires because he asked her questions about her experience that proved to him she knew what she was talking about. She's all of 19, btw.

My son had a similar experience with Orscheln's.

Quick story. For years we have used the same feed store because they are locally owned and have great prices. We almost always go there on Saturdays and the same very snotty rude Woman is working the counter. We dealt with it because their prices were so good. Just after we got our Donkeys my Wife went in there and asked about vaccines. The Woman said something rude and nasty regarding Donkeys. It really upset my Wife and while she was getting the truck loaded with feed the guy doing the loading asked her if she was OK. She told him what the Woman inside said and he got angry. He told my Wife that she was a childhood friend of his Wife and he had been looking for a reason to fire her. He went on to explain that he had gotten numerous complaints about her attitude but his Wife wouldn't do much about it. Turns out the old guy in coveralls that loads the trucks was the owner. Because of the economy and being out of work my Wife convinced him not to fire her but he did make her come outside and apologize. We still go there, and she greets us with a warm friendly VERY FORCED smile everytime.

TSC has changed a great deal in the past few years, used to be we tried to recruit homesteader type people but unfortunately we dont pay enough to attract them and really as a company dont train them to know much about things except the basics of feed, mowers, bulk clothing, welding and other power equipment.
Im still trying to convince the corporate office we need to carry dimethox

edited to ad, snotty rude behavior is not tolerated by the company if you call and complain or talk with the store manager they should resolve their issues.

The local TSC wants me to come work with them....but its the pay thing I get paid well enough during the school season but this summer vaca I won't be getting paid to stay as a bus driver so seriously thinking of starting a new career at TSC whatcha think?

I think an animal knowledgeable person at your TSC would be a wonderful thing for them. I think steady, year-round work would be a wonderful thing for you.
