Freaks me out how young girls can make themselves look much older then they are...
Hey everyone, this is my first post here.
Anyways, my family went to a restraunt and next store was a fish store I like to shop at. I went over there and was looking at the fish. It is a really good store. I saw an employee that was new. I tested him by saying "Pacu get like 3 feet right?" and he thought I was stupid or something (I'm only 13) and said "no, it stays the size it is. It was about 4 inches. Another employee, who I know and who is really knowledgeable about fish, was standing near us and was trying really hard not to laugh. He obviously knew that the new employee wasn't to bright. So i went on, saying "Actually, they get pretty massive." Then the new worker got really pissed and said "I work here, I know all i need to know, you are wrong!!!" Then i kept talking to him and asked him if I could keep an oscar in a ten gallon tank.(again testing him) He said it would be fine. But then I told him how big oscars get and he got super pissed and looked like he was going to smack me. I waited about 5 minutes and asked him to scoop out some corys I had been planning to buy. He refused to sell them because "I didn't have adequate knowledge about fish" Then the other employee I knew (who was the manager) fired him! It was so funny. I wanted to tell the newbie "Suck it!" right in his face but I thought he would like, stab me or something. Then the manager got me my cories, and the borderline insane person got fired.

I was at a LFS and there was a guy buying a aro the Salesman asked how big his tank was and he said he had 300 gallons. I was impressed but something sounded off about it. I started talking to the guy as the salesman got the fish ready to go. I asked the guy what the dimensions of his tank where and he said 16x18x48 but there where 3 of them tied together. I had to ask how he did it and he told me that he used 1" pvc to plumb them together. I then informed him he was a far cry from 300G and that the tank needed a big tank for the Aro to survive. something with a decent footfrint. the guy argued with me and said the total water volume is what mattered. I argued with him a bit and the owner overheard the conversation. I decided it wasn't worth waisting my breath with him so I walked away. a few min later I heard him argue with the owner cause he wouldn't sell him the fish. when I picked up what I wanted the owner gave me 50 free feeders for saving the Aro form a bad life and death. I hope the guy does some better research next time before he trys that again
Once, at Petsmart, I heard two kids talking about starting a Comet fight club. They bought like 50 comets. I wonder how that worked out

not really an LFS story, but a great story none the less. a friend of mine works at a local CVS as a cashier. One day, a woman came in and bought about $25 worth of stuff, and then handed my friend enough coupons to get her bill down to 54 cents. finally, she gave him one last coupon. he looked at it, then looked at the customer, looked at it again, and told her "im sorry maam, i cant accept this coupon" the customer then told him that he should honor coupons, blah blah blah, they accepted it last time. he then tells her, "maam, this is CVS. there is no way we have ever accepted this coupon, it says that it is good for a free oil change at jiffy lube."
its amazing what people will try when they want to save money.
