Pronunciation: tantrəmänstərs

These three seemed to have nothing better to do than complain over minutia. He calls them T-Vex, Rageasaur and Triscarytops. This time he was ready for them.

It didn't take long for them to get bored and move onto another store and another customer service rep to gnaw on.
