Today, it was my first day closing alone at a pet store when a lady came in wanting to return a bird she bought months ago. Once I informed her there were no returns on livestock, she let the bird free and ran out the door, leaving me to catch it and explain to my manager where it came from. FML

At least she didn't try to return a dead bird?

A "cat out of the bag" pun doesn't really work here, does it?

You know what they say: A bird in the pet shop is worth two in the cage.

What I am asking myself is what she expected to gain from this. She lost both a bird and money. Not a lot of thinking on her part

56 - She probably just wanted to get rid of the bird and see if she could get money back. In frustration of not getting her money back, she released the bird. PS - Love the username!

It definitely sounded like a Monty Python pet shop sketch set up to me.

78 are you the bird that got returned? If so i can see how you'd be sore about it and not want your previous owner's money refunded.

Tweety always ends up taking cover in the cage eventually.

The pecking order goes like this: The owner, the manager, the customer, the bird, then you.
