We have a customer who comes in who clearly thinks that he knows it always and he keeps syaing ive been doing it for over 30 yrs, and he doesnt. I know more than him and have better fish and setups and been doing it for 4 yrs lol.
this thread is effing hysterical!! i just read through all 51 pages in 1 sitting (i'm bored) and it is a RIOT!! Keep 'em coming!
This is a great thread. I have unfortunately been one of those stupid noobs who relied to heavily on the tags at the Petsmarts/Petcos of the world. In my case there was no one there to put me on the right course. Lessons learned though. It is amazing how much the people behind the counters can not care sometimes.
Ive had a few customers like it,,,,, ive had to hold my tounge althought there has been a few times where ive had to say somthing.srikamaraja;2949663; said:

That is true to a certain extent. There are alot of chain store employees without much knowledge, but there are a lot of lfs employees just as bad. And maybe that chain store employee who didn't care had just finished dealing with a customer like the one I had today.
Him: Give me 6 rosey reds and 6 comets.
Me: Anything else.
Him: Let me get one of those pacu too.
Me: You have a huge tank or pond for the very near future.
Him: Oh yeah, it's a big 55.
Me: You realize the potential size of these right? They can grow as much as two inches a month before slowing down at the one foot mark. That tank won't last the year.
Him: That's OK. When it gets too big I'll just give it away.
Me: Good luck with that one.
Deal with a few hundred of those and you pretty much stop asking or offering info.
The worst part about working at a big-box store is the customers tend to believe the printed tags more than you.
That printed tag has never taken care of a fish. @#$%.
