About two weeks ago, someone posted a thread about accuracy of information in pet stores. Their goal was to petition Petsmart to change their signage so that they were correct for people that wanted to get fish at Petsmart. Well, I know the signage isn't the greatest, but that is why people like Miles and myself work very hard to educate our coworkers and customers on responsible fishkeeping. Tonight, while surfing Drs. Foster and Smith I noticed that their information was way off on their information tags. Personally, this is worse than at Petsmart. At Petstmart (or any place) you can ask questions, get answers, come back with more questions, and they can even refuse to sell you the fish if they feel that you should not have it. However, Drs. Foster and Smith has incorrect information, no one to answer questions, and the person making the final decision on fish is the CONSUMER. This all goes back to consumer responsibility. For less than 100 dollars I could have charged and ordered a species of salt water ray or a cat shark. This is not good for our hobby, I am not saying that we should boycott them or anything, but maybe we should write letters to them as well.
 
The problem at Petsmart is that you can ask questions all you want, but you probably won't get good info. If Fosters and Smith also has bad info, let them know.

True, true, but some of us know about fish. It seems like sully has all but dissapeared on this thread. I wanna go check Aquaria Cental, see if he has been on their. That site isn't ]V[onster enough for me though.
 
I'm going to have to agree with Wurm.

Although, there is 1 good petsmart around here, but the rest are full of kids who dont care, and dont want to care. They do, however, like to act like they know it all.

Well, I CARE! Also, I just realized this. Miles, Freeninety9, myself and some other people work/worked at petsmart. I have yet to see anyone work at Petco on here. I guess it goes to show we do care (well some of us)

One comment on Dr.Foster and Smith. They do have a live help option.

But, if they have the wrong information already. I don't know if they would help anymore or not talking with them.

Yea, goes back to it all. The seller doesn't know and the buyer doesn't want to learn.
