Favorite LFS "CUSTOMER" STORIES ...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Haha I wish I took a pic of him. I already have a smaller Spotted Raf. Should I dig him out from under my driftwood pile ya Knifegill? :D He's almost 4" by my estimation, which is pretty big for a Spot :grinyes: I moved my Honey Gourami to my planted 5g so the Pictus doesn't eat it, but I'm more afraid the Raf would!
 
That is not 4 inchs thats like 3
 
Love all these stories.

Recently I nearly brought a very cute "little" black ghost knife. Shop guy said it would grow to about 12cm he just forgot to say in the first 6mths.
I'm glad I'm the annoying customer that knows nothing asks tons of dumb ? and never buys anything.
I always google everything that's how I found MFK.
Definately going to get bgk some day might wait till i got a bigger tank think my 18gl might be a bit tight. lol

I think anyone who has worked in a LFS has a million of these..

Anyways, a guy came in the other day, and bought some clown loaches.. (twice my age, already knows more about fish than me based on this)

Inquired about 'dwarf angelfish'.. I chuckled, said no.. "we must be all sold out".. he continued on, to educate my young self on the wonderful world of 'dwarf angelfish'.. apparently if you were born after 1980 you probably wouldn't know much about the dwarf angelfish, and so obviously you would want to hear all about them because your young, stupid, and work for a corporate pet store. ;)

I told him about our guarantee on the Clown Loaches, as they just came in a few days earlier, and I am a nice guy like that..

He told me he would 'climatize' them very well when he got them home.. I smirked, continued on with some good advice, made sure I threw the word 'acclimate' out there for him... he ensures me as he's leaving the department that he will 'emacitize' them for a long time.. :screwy:

Just so happens, I was the ole' back-up cashier to help him on his merry way.. We chatted a bit more, I asked him some silly questions just for S&Gs to see what kind of ridiculous retorts I would get. It was a fun time for all (mainly me, at his expensive).. but on the way out he told me again, and I quote "I will 'emancipate' them real well when I get 'em home!"...:ROFL:

So now our happy troop of clown loaches will live happily ever after with their dwarf angelfish, but only after adjusting to wheather changes, struggling with eating disorders, and becoming independant of their parent and/or guardian before the age of 18.

The End.
Love all these stories.:popcorn::ROFL:

Just got back from my LFS one of the newer employees said "I don't like Finding Nemo because they have a Tiger Datnoid in the SW tank.":screwy: I'm LIKE WTF there is no Dat in the tank "He says yeah that scar fish is a Dat." It's a Moorish Idol (Gill) not a Dat:grinno:
