I think:
1. There should be a college level entrance exam fish test for all prospective fish store employees for the country.
2. All fish stores should have the right to not only refuse service to ANYONE, but to also be able to report individuals to a national pet abuse agency and have them arrested/detained/prosecuted.
3. Petsmart, Petco, etc... should stick to goldfish and guppies. No more of this nonsense about housing oscars in 30g tanks.
4. All people should agree with me. :)

again with the petco/petsmart bashing. just because the one you go to may not have the knowledge, you should not make that assumption about all of them. like ive said so many times before, there are good and bad fish stores out there, just like there are good and bad petcos and petsmarts out there, but just because you have a bad experience at one, does not mean that all of them are unknowledgable. it kind of offends me, being an employee at petco, that people assume that the bad stores are the norm.

sorry for going on a rant here, it just bothers me when people make quick judgements.

I have tons of stories, working for a big chain store, however my biggest pet peeve is when people call cichlids, chinchillas. I tell them chinchillas are not fish, but small animals. Or when they call them chick-lids.
I have also heard chicklits choklates chics kliklid and klick-eds
 
Oh yeah one time a couple with their i dont know 3 year old walks in and ask if they can get a shark like jaws shark and we ask how big of a tank do you have they say bowl so we say no then they ask paco no then oscars no pbass no and in the end they asked is there anything that can live in a bowl and we guess what no.
