Yup...

Still don't know if that receptionist is male or female

They're an asshole, assholes remove any need for gender.

Wasn't about need

She is doing her job which is to not give someone’s kid to a stranger they don’t recognize. Just cause their system is all kinds of unorganized does not mean the receptionist is an asshole.

she is doing her job but with the motivation and attitude of rotten zombie that hates everyone around her.

regardless if this is by accident or not. she is doing a horrible job at representing the values of the businesses or institution she is a member of.

i use to work half time at Costco . my coworkers would get all the time in trouble by accident for being unable to hide the fact that they been having a bad day in front of the costumer. (basically they were accidentally being rude to the clients.)

yeah there were a lot of cases of the client being the ones acting like morons on their own. but not all cases are "just doing their job"

Why does it matter?

looks like a female to me, it's quite RARE to see males working in a daycare without parents freaking out.

Yes, because all males are potential rapists or p*dos and must be exterminated with extreme prejudice... </sarc>

lmao well, yeah they do think that! lol

this is goging to be good x3

F***ing bureaucrat...

We don't respect em.

Such a hoot having to deal with policies and rules to get around the loopholes

Some workers are so worn down into programs

To be honest, this is also important for security. Not giving out kids to random strangers that claim to be friends or family without the parents explicit approval.

No fucking kidding.

Or, forget strangers, giving the kid to a parent who doesn't have custody?

True. Right you are

Something tells me her cell is going to ring X3

I love this interaction so much.

Just eat her and get it over with!

They only eat the children who are left after 6:00pm.

No legally operating daycare center will allow a child to be taken from their facility by a "non-parent" or guardian without prior approval. Several kidnappings (usually by a spouse) have happen in the past. There would be procedures if a parent cannot pick up their child. Otherwise family services would have to be called. There also should have been a secondary person on file that can pick up the child. Guess this daycare center does not run very efficiently.

Since the shared living arrangement is sorta a new situation. They may not have had her listed as emergency pickup/contact. I mean yes the situation and attitude comes off as shitty. But it's kinda clear to see why and how the situation has unfolded as it does. Definitely not the receptionist's fault personally, unless they are ignoring some guideline we don't know of.

She is listed as a secondary person, as the next page will show

All these people hating on the receptionist. It's their job to make sure kids get home safe. These questions are important D: I'm sure none of you want your kids to end up in the wrong hangs.

Oo .

Let's give the receptionist a small break. If I had to spend all day around dozens of screaming, crying children I'd become a bitter asshole by the end of my shift too.

did she get more hair on her head? seems longer and fuller then usual

It dried out. Dry hair is fuller, wet hair is all flat and matted.

Bureaucrats...

Get wrecked

And so the bureaucrat is hoist with her own petard. Gaming the system is a smart woman's best defense against System morons.

Yuuuuuup. I love, being female, how it's assumed that my partner is male also...

Lots of people in the comments are ripping on this lady for being a bitch or a bureaucrat. I’m a parent of two boys, and I simply would not let them attend a school that didn’t have basic security like this. Period. And yes, this is *basic* security. If I wasn’t 100% sure that their school wouldn’t let the kids go home with a random stranger, they wouldn’t step foot in that building.

She might seem to be unkind about it, and she could stand to be more diplomatic. However, take note that she’s protecting the children for potential kidnappers and not doing anything that would endanger the children or overly inconvenience anyone: schools have protocols for children who are unable to be picked up, including involving Child Services, who—contrary to popular myth—exist to take care of children.

Please don’t think that these protocols are bad. They’re not; to the contrary, they are *crucial*.
