Sorry, the only employees I had was when I was the Supervisor of Training at a theme park.Though one time after tanning, my best friend needed to get something out of my car. So, she borrowed my keys and said she was in a hurry and would just leave them in the car for me. When I came out of the salon she had locked my keys in my car... my only set! I stood there watching my cell phone ringing, it was her, I could see the number on the caller ID. I was saying "I see you calling me, but can't talk right now.... YOU LOCKED ME OUT OF MY CAR!!" This went on for about a half hour, she called six time and then pulled up just as the lock smith was pulling up. Turns out, as she was putting the keys in the car, she saw my cell phone and thought it was unsafe to leave the car unlocked with my cell phone inside. So, did the only thing a true friend would do... lock my car!LOL, thankfully, she paid me the $40 it took to open my car. We still laugh about this. Oh, and by the way, she is also my future business partner... no lectures, please!Laurie

one of my girls went to clean a bed, she thought a customer had came out of, but unfortunaly went to a room that a guy was still in....needless to say she got her eyes full and he just smiled, which made it even more embarrising for her... He did, however start locking his door after that...

I knew a girl that thought if she was on the birth control pill she couldn't catch aids.She thought she couldn't catch anything from tanning beds as well.She sure got a wake up call.

I had a lady call in to the company where I am a tech rep. She said she needed lamps and wanted to see if I could explain why her face tanner was not working, When I asked the age of her bed she said it was five years old. I asked if the facetanner had ever worked and she said it never worked. I asked her if she had turned on the facetanner switch located on the backside of the bed. At this point in time, I heard her say to her husband there was a switch on the back of the bed. In the background, I heard a soft click and heard him say "It's working". Since we were finished troubleshooting the face tanner problem, I transferred her over to the lamp people so she could buy some long lamps. Ace Smith
