Since the last time we shared our comics with you beautiful people and got the amazing response we did, we decided to publish more of our work about the everyday struggles of a fluffy bunny working in tourism. And it has been a struggle!

Chimes
Just realised - I couldn't do this job. Well done to all those with far more patience than I could EVER have.
The stupid questions never stopped coming, if anything they just became crazier! We even had to up our game to three comics per week rather than two. We also got a huge amount of stories from you guys! Some of these are now stories from other countries, not only Iceland. Hopefully, you will find them relatable and funny.

Schedule
For those of you who didn't see our previous post, we are a couple working in the tourism industry for the last few years. It has been a wild ride and the only thing that prevented us from going insane was sharing our frustration with our colleagues through these little comics we made and posted on our internal communications channels. Since all of our friends and colleagues loved them, we decided to share them with all of you guys, to help keep you sane while working retail/front desk/tourism.
Opinion
I understand people arguing the cause of global warming but not the actual fact it's happening.
Let us know your stories, be it from working in the tourism industry, in retail, or in any other field that deals with people on a daily basis. We would love to hear what you have to say!

I was at Thingvellir last year AND I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE ROCK!! 😱 *Books flights to Reykjavik*

Too true. Many of SAR are volunteers who risk their lives to help people in trouble. Please stop being dumb.

Somehow Not My Responsibility
I feel you. I used to work in a castle and people regularly showed up after we had closed, accusing us of bad service and what not. I hate how entitled people are. There is too much money for too many trend travelers who don't understand what traveling really is about.

Are You Open
Ok. Similar at the restaurant where I work. We've stopped leaving the door propped open a crack for the employees to come in. BECAUSE, every single time a customer will come in and when informed we're not open, will say okay no problem. They don't leave, just sit in the lobby by the cash register watching me finish opening. I won't start ringing them up until the moment we open-no matter how much they sigh, or look at their watch, pace whatever. Sometimes, if they're really early (10 minutes or more)I make something up and kick them out.

Are You
"I just want to provide the best service pissible, and I'm afraid with this little amount of time we have left till closing, I won't be able to satysify your needs. I could stay over hours, but my boss is so stingy about it, it could get me fired. How about I'll make you short tour around the place, and tomorrow I could arrange something special, just for you"

I'm Norwegian. I grew up inn Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen. Oh my God, I've met so many tourists during my decade there I just can’t deal with them anymore. I don’t keep polar bears leashes up in my backyard and I don’t control the northern lights from my phone or computer 😆 STOP IT
Plus the drunken destruction. Every summer you have to go hunting for your garden stuff in the surrounding edges and campings.
Load More Replies...You're definitely welcome! If you need more, we publish these three times a week on our Instagram, Facebook, and website :)
Load More Replies...I work in returns at a retail store (based out of sweden..... ;).....)and I think we get the same people
Yes, unfortunately, we do. Feel free to send us your stories. Bun might as well start moonlighing in retail. The more I think of it, the more I can see how returns would be the worst department to work in retail. Now we need to know! :)
