I run the garden department at a very large retail store. There are thousands of birds that have made the overhead racks their home. We had to throw away $100,000 of product last year because of the droppings. It also smells horrible. We pressure wash as often as we can but are fighting a losing battle.
We hung netting, tried fake owls, had a speaker that blasted hawk noises every few minuts (scared the heck out of the customers). We cant lay out poisen because PETA said they will come after us. How do I get rid of all these birds that are ruining all of my product? Not to mention making it an unpleasant place to shop.

Thanks

i am a creative artist, and have worked many jobs to make a living. studio assistant, office temp., coffee shop girl, retail, window display, sewing clothing. my question is, why is it that 20 or 30 hours a week is okay, and i’ve liked every job very much at first, but in a forty hour a week position (even one that i really like) as the months go by i find myself being later and later… making sloppy mistakes… being angry all the time, tired all the time, unfriendly at the workplace… and eventually i either quit or get fired? i feel like i go in with good intentions, and it just feels impossible to hold it together. i try, but it feels out of my control! not sure if this question belongs in mental health, but i was thinking maybe this is a sign of some kind of disorder? please help!

People, do you think people outside America cross bordering to America to shop is good for Amercian economy?

I would think yes, because America would be selling a lot of items, whereas Canada would be stuck with all their stock collecting dust in their retail stores.
Plus, everyone outside America buying from America and having the return to their homes past the American border would have to pay customs tax on every purchase they buy.

I’ve always thought it would be cool to work at some of the clothing stores I’ve shopped at but is there decent money to be made working at a clothing store?
