Chunking Exercise

Unusual Visit in Furniture Store:
A local furniture store had an unusual visitor that was unwilling to leave Monday.

A skunk was on the loose at National Furniture Liquidators for the majority of the day. The acting assistant manager decided to keep the store open for the whole day, but not without informing customers of the visitor.

"Hey, we got a loose skunk in here!" is what customers were greeted with as they drove into the parking lot.


Business as Usual:
Even after being informed of the critter in the store, most customers decided to go in anyway. At first, the skunk was allowed to run throughout the store through its aisles. At one point, employees tried to lure it out with a trail of whole wheat bread crumbs, but that method did not work.

Employees stayed outside more than usual, but other than that, business continued as usual at the store. Dennis Groke, acting assistant manager said he's worked in unusual circumstances before, but never one like this. The store manager was called in to see what he could do and decided on waiting until the store closed to try to spook it out with bright lights and rock music.

After failed attempts earlier in the day to get rid of the skunk, Rich Ulkus of Animal Allies arrived with his expertise to take care of the animal on the loose.


Attempts to Capture:
By the time Ulkus arrived, the skunk had disappeared into hiding in the store. Ulkus got on his hands and knees, shining his flashlight in search for the skunk. He was unable to find it.

Instead he and Goke set up a trap using tuna to capture the skunk.
