Favorite LFS "CUSTOMER" STORIES ...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My favorite is when some stooge brings in a dead saltwater fish within 48 hour guaranty period. I test the water....0 ammonia....0 nitrates.....low nitrates. He says..."She I told you. I want a new one!" I then fill up the hydrometer and the salinity is 0. I tell him next time add salt to your tap water!
 
When I got to work yesterday I noticed we had 2 less pacu in our tank at petsmart... my guess, RIP to the fish and whoever bought them's small tank
 
I just over heard a mother letting her kid buy WHAT EVER fish he wanted...

he already had some african ones, the ones with the blue eyes and the yellow eyes...

and his mom was trying to convince him to buy some sharks, (Columbian sharks)


and the guy at the store was like yeah sure and netted them for him

True. Guess the death of his fish will do a good enough job of that :nilly:
 
Petsmart employee: Wow, I'm sorry we have quite a few dead fish in there, I better go clean those up.
Me: Yeah...your black ghost knives don't look very hot either.
PE: Oh really? ...Oh yeah there's a dead one in there.
Me: Yeah...and they are also all totally covered in fuzz.
PE: Fuzz??? *Quizzical look* You mean the white coloring?
Me: Uh...the bacterial or fungal infection, the white "fuzz".
PE: Oh hun, that's not a disease, that's just their natural coloring.

*facepalm*

LOL I'm dealing with this sort of too at the moment...I have an oranda that's been upside down for like a week, every 5 minutes a customer comes over and informs me about him.
