I went to a lfs saturday to get a clownfish for about half the price of every where else and the stor only concentrates on birds and fish. Well a chinese guy walks in and buys a bird and then just lets it go right outside the store(it going below freezing at nights) so the owner is pisse as hell and kicks him out because he actually cared about the animals and the bird didnt have a chnce of surviving. The reason the guy threw the bird out was because its goodluck for newlyweds and he had come from a wedding. Saw his car and he had on of those giant dragon heads in his passenger side.

Great thread!
I own a LFS for 17 years and have plenty of stories.
first one:
Caller: do you sell fish?
Me: ah yes.
caller: what kinds?
me: all kinds
caller: how big are the fish?
me: which ones
caller: do you sell colorfull fish?
& on & on....... a lot of dumb people.

Oh this is a good one from my first shop back in 1992.
I had a sign that said African Cichlids above the door.
A lady came in and asked if I was selling African children!
lmao til this day.

more to come. good times.....
