Wild Employees Unlimited

Pete and Sam were home from school (teacher work day), so they went with Dad to Ledo for lunch. Pete brought up that he is planning to apply for the open position at the new "Wild Birds Unlimited" shop over by the Giant. There were quite a number of amusing things about this scenario, including some of the requirements on the application:


  • We are Looking for Sales Associates to "Join our Flock"
  • Our service standards require the ability to carry 50lb. bags of seed (we assume here that they are selling mostly ostriches and emus)
  • Wild bird feeding experience is not required, but is a plus.
  • Ability to climb a 10 foot ladder (perhaps this is to get to the cash register)
  • No 401(k) plan, but they do use Excel spreadsheets
  • Please, no phone calls! (we suspect the birds sleep near the phone)
