Yeah, I think we all know now, but is there like a 1% chance any form of ticket looks like this!?!?

This is basically a follow on too

I totally understand that this isn't funny for you. What day is he next due to go to her?

Unicorntrainer · 01/08/2016 21:20

Found you all! I went to work for a couple of hours and come back to find you all on page 16 of a new thread.

There are obviously not enough women working at CZ, because they would understand how important it is for women to know THINGS!

ChampagneTastes · 01/08/2016 21:21

Frankly, if it is a troll then I salute her ingenuity.

rainbowunicorn · 01/08/2016 21:21

What did you say to her when she gave you that ticket?

PaulAnkaTheDog · 01/08/2016 21:21

Why haven't you just text the childminder OP? Why not just point out that it's not a real ticket, you know that and you have contacted the Zoo? Threaten to report her to whoever you need to? Then you'd get your money back and this'll be over. You'll still need to find alternative childcare but at least you can stop posting on this thread if it's upsetting you.

zoominder has just finished me off completely Grin Grin Grin. I don't even care if this is a troll, cheered my Monday night right up.

Groovee · 01/08/2016 21:21

I've just clicked that CZ isn't the staff members initials! Blush facepalm

Gothgirl78 · 01/08/2016 21:22

Yeah. I was taken in to start with but think it's fake now.

listsandbudgets · 01/08/2016 21:23

Give the poor childminder a break. She's obviously thinking the OP's DC wants something good for his scrapbook and a receipt with a barcode on wasn't going to excite a small child so she went to considerable effort to produce something that he'd find more interesting.....

or maybe not

BigApple11 · 01/08/2016 21:23
Hmm
CaptainSprinkles · 01/08/2016 21:23

I'm annoyed that she tried to get my DS to doubt himself

OP, I actually think this is the worst part of the incident. Taking your money and lying is one thing, but treating your DS (and probably other DCs) like this is quite cruel in my opinion. I'm not surprised you're angry.

EmmelineW · 01/08/2016 21:23

One person calls troll, so everyone does... It's a dangerous game to play. I was called troll, Munster got rid of the post and then brought it all back. I do love how everyone loves to follow the troll hunters

Jackie0 · 01/08/2016 21:24

But why? To scam £21? I don't get why she would do it. So confused .

SistersOfPercy · 01/08/2016 21:24

Last time we went to Chester Zoo the girl at the desk told DH the price and he asked if he'd get a free Monkey for that Blush

wineoclockthanks · 01/08/2016 21:25

What place marking, me?

NeedACleverNN · 01/08/2016 21:25

I feel sorry for the person manning the FB page.

They have probably gone and got themselves a big glass of wine and sat there with a "wtf" face on

MrBoot · 01/08/2016 21:25

Can somebody link to the FB post please?

DragonMamma · 01/08/2016 21:27

My pelvic floor just went at the elephant picture.

I don't mind it being a troll post based on how funny it is Grin

Cantstopeatingchocolate · 01/08/2016 21:28

Wow, that doesn't look good. I've no idea what I'd do in this situation but I reckon I'd be visiting tomorrow night after the kids have all gone home and you have someone to look after your DS.
You really need to speak to her when there are no kids around and you can get down to the bottom of it.

DesolateWaist · 01/08/2016 21:29

I'm hugely over invested in this now.
Thank goodness I'm not at work tomorrow.

Mummyme1987 · 01/08/2016 21:30

I've been calling troll for days.

MrBoot · 01/08/2016 21:30

I'm finding it hard to keep up with the thread but why on earth did Coconutty report the OP?

I know people are saying it might be a troll but nobody actually knows so why report it? I'm truly baffled.

OvariesBeforeBrovaries · 01/08/2016 21:30

That Facebook comments thread is the best Grin

And you're all real people Shock
