Trying to find answers online one of the websites was called "freerangekids.com" yeah I didn't click that one.

Learned about it a few weeks ago, but 'free range' children is something I expect to see more about on SA, and it's basically the same concept as free range livestock, where you take a more hands off approach to raising children, like letting 6 and 10 year olds wander about on their own. Why they went with the word choice that makes children sound like livestock, I don't know.

(I’m standing in a fairly short queue when a businessman walks in, pushes straight to the front and starts dictating his order to the 20-something year old cashier.)
Cashier: “I’m afraid you’re going to have to go to the back of the queue, sir.”
Business man: “I have an important meeting shortly. You must serve me now!”
Cashier: “Yeah, the longer you stand there, the later you’re going to be. Back of the queue.”
Business man: “Do you have any idea who I am?”
Cashier: “Nope. Now shut up and go to the back of the queue.”
Business man: “How dare you talk to me like that?! Get me your manager now!”
(The cashier sighs heavily, walks into the back, comes out with an older woman in tow and nods her towards the businessman, then disappears back into the back.)
Manager: “What seems to be the problem, sir?”
Business man: “That boy was incredibly rude to me! I demand you fire him immediately!”
Manager: “I’m afraid I don’t have the authority to do that, but if you want I can get the owner for you.”
Business man: “Bah! Fine, but I expect to be compensated for having to go through all of this trouble!”
Manager: “I’m sure you can discuss that with him, sir.”
(She then walks into the back, then comes out again with the now grinning cashier.)
Cashier: “Yo.”
Business man: “What’s the meaning of this? I said I wanted to talk to the owner!”
Cashier: “Like I said, yo.”
(The businessman silently gapes for a few seconds, then walks out stammering threats about having his head and closing the shop down.)
Manager: “Why do you always have to involve me?”
Cashier: “I just love the look on their stupid little faces when they find out I own this joint.”
(The manager rolls her eyes and walks into back.)
Cashier: “I love this job. What can I get you?”

(Words about working for Bell Aliant)


The vast majority of that is believable until the end. Getting a $3,000 credit for a customer would not be a "quick" chat with a supervisor. Amounts that large would be run through the higher powers, due to them needing to investigate the extent of billing in error. Sales and Service agents have a credit limit under $100 that can be issued at their discretion, but $3,000 would be well above floor support's abilities to grant.

quote:

I told him to wait on the line and I called 911, giving them the address he called from (perks of working for a telco)

This would have panned out poorly had the customer not been at his home or mailing address while calling, which are the only ones an agent is going to know from the account information.

quote:

The next day when I came in, I was called into my managers office first thing. Apparently the family had contacted BA to thank us and let us know the guy was fine (he had a chronic breathing condition and I guess the good news just got him in a spell). I ended up getting a $100 bonus which was pretty cool.

Guy extended his handle time (stayed on the line eavesdropping), didn't make a sale, and supposedly credited a customer 3,000 loving dollars - that isn't going to earn you a bonus or commission. The family just happening to get in touch with the one call centre out of a multitude that all serve all four provinces is fairly unlikely, too.

quote:

Kicker is I checked his account a few weeks later to see if he was actually using his high-speed. Was he ever, the next set of notes on the account after mine were him calling in and asking if he downloaded a virus from clicking an ad on a porn site

This would get him in poo poo, as you aren't permitted to record customer information to access accounts at your own volition for obvious reasons. Also, dirty old guy, how hilarious. :rolleyes:

An Epi Epic Fail
SCHOOL | AUSTRALIA | HEALTH & BODY, PARENTS, STAFF
(My young niece has a peanut allergy and has an EpiPen that she carries with her. School rules require that all medication is kept in the office. My sister receives a phone call.)

School Staff: “Your daughter has had a bit of a reaction at lunch time.”

Sister: “I’m on my way. Make sure that someone uses the EpiPen on her. There’s a letter with it containing all the instructions. Use it now; do not wait. It’s going to take a bit for me to get there. If it’s bad call an ambulance.”

School Staff: “Yes, we have it here.”

(She rushes to the school. It takes her about 15 minutes, speeding all the way. She arrives to find her daughter in distress and struggling with her breathing.)

Sister: “I think we may need an ambulance if she’s still like this after her dose.”

School Staff: “Oh, we haven’t given it to her. We were waiting for you to get here. You took your time!”

Sister: *grabs EpiPen and injects her daughter* “What? She could have died in this time! I gave strict instructions that she gets it immediately if a problem arises and to call an ambulance!”

School Staff: “Oh, we saw that you lived a few doors from the school, so decided to wait.”

Sister: “I wasn’t at home, I was on my way to work. I left f****** instructions and told you over the d*** phone!”

(Luckily for my niece it wasn’t a major reaction. The kid next to her at lunch had eaten a peanut butter sandwich.)

No, they do not. Basic first aid is as much care that can be offered by teachers or administrative staff. For anything more serious, paramedics or guardians are called in to bear sick students away. The wait can be long, so there is usually an unstaffed sick bay near the admin block.

Well, goddamn. I just found out last week that apparently school nurses aren't a thing in parts (all?) of Canada, either.

That said, does correctly using an EpiPen not qualify as basic first aid?

I'm not trying to be sarcastic with these or my previous question; I legitimately don't know.

The UK doesn't have them either (well maybe some posh schools do) but the teachers will be trained in basic first aid.

However using an EpiPen, as it punctures the skin, is specifically *not* basic first aid and there are all sorts of liability issues if a first aider uses one - this may or may not be different in schools, but certainly even though I'm a certified first aider (for my company, not a school) and allowed to use defibrilators and all sorts of other fun stuff, I'm not allowed to administer an EpiPen.

Besides the whole point of an EpiPen is that it's for self-administration (which neatly sidesteps the liability issues), but I've no idea how that works with minors.

Yeah, I'm an EMT in my state and we can only "assist" a patient with their own prescribed Epi-Pens. Children who are prescribed Epi-Pens usually get a little pediatric sized one and are taught how to use it on themselves if they need to, though.

I can confirm that not all Australian schools will have someone who is able to administer an EpiPen, especially poor underfunded state schools. Sauce: my mum is a teacher and isn't allowed to stab kids.

The issue being that the school wouldn't let her carry it on her so by the time they fetched it from the office she might not have been able to self administer. Seems like something needs to be rethought (or would if this story had happened and if that little factoid is actually true at all)

Either way, the important thing to gather from that tale is that they had to censor "the d*** phone". Two possibilities exist: either NAR is being its usual laughably over-reactive self, or the sister is actually trying to talk to her daughter's school over the dickphone.

Sounds like someone who's never actually worked IT, for that matter. Everyone in IT has at least one story that's crazier than that weak poo poo and actually happened, like when I had to submit a request to unblock certain porn sites so an attorney's assistant could get evidence for a client's infringement suit. Yeah, nothing simultaneously makes your day and worries you for your job like sending a request to the admin team asking them to unblock "Double Stuffed Bitches" and "Sluts Gag On Cock" or whatever. Compared to that, "I haxx0red the firewall to play Pokemon and 'download Adobe Reader' (I don't care if it's not slang, it is now)" just sounds like someone who thinks the real poo poo is "too unbelievable" and makes up actual unbelievable poo poo (who lets a phone jockey anywhere near server hardware?)
