LFS's are not like they used to be....

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Stand at the door with a sign that says "this place stole my money!" then bill them for your time.
 
I am a big fan of pointing out all the dead expensive saltwater (freshwater) fish stuck to the filter intakes to the a hole no personality lfs owner.........I also frequent that same place that pisses me off about every week and browse, but say "no just looking" and walk out everytime he asks me if I need help!!!!:ROFL: this same frickin place sold me feeder guppies that were obviously covered in a nasty fungus........I walked outside and he watched me throw them in the trash..........Never again!!!!!!!!!! Thankfully i've got 3-4 other lfs's within a 30 min drive............:woot:
 
If I were you I'd let it be known that they are losing a 30 year customer. Heck, let the whole store know, say it really loud when the place is busy. Let them know why!

My LFS is really starting to get bad. It always sucked and never had great fish, but I went in today and just got sick.

Every single tank had dead fish or bad fish. They had a beat up 6 inch fire mouth in a 55 gallon tank with 8 5 inch male cons (no decor, so no place to hide). They wanted $10! I told them I would pay $5, but no deal. If I could have got it today it might of had a chance to recover in my QT and live out a good life in my 75, but no way in heck am I paying $10 for a beat up fish that will take time and money to get back into shape! They told me to come back when the owner was there, he makes the deals.
 
Well to be honest,if i didnt have 4 sons who watch EVERY move i make,i would smash every tank ,then blow the damn place up(hell whats 10 yrs in "college")but since i cant i guess speaking bad about them is all i can do!!!

I have been going to the same LFS for nearly 30 years,the original owners have both died and handed down thier store to thier daughter,she has turned the store only into a money maker and cares less for the long time customers.We used to be able to trade fish in ,get credit,and could count on not being lied to.Now even the sale people suck(lack of knowledge)One example is i listened to a sales girl tell a newbie that a Pacu could live in a 50 gal tank all its life!!!The quality of the fish has gone down,and so has the choice of fish.Meanwhile the prices just keep on rising!!:swear:

I don't see what the problem is.... A pacu can live it's whole life in a 50g. A pacu can live in a 3g bowl it's whole life. It died three day's after you got it but it was in that 3g bowl the whole time... and it only grew to the size of it's bowl!
 
Oh and don't damage a perfectly good just piss in their tanks during their rush hour. You can also bring a jar of vasaline and set it on the counter and ask them to please use it next time.

release 6,000 live crickets in the store. i ckeched, you can get that for $40 on the internet. I would pay way more than that for sweet,sweet revenge.
 
Hey if releasing a swarm of locusts on the earth is good enough for god then it's good enough for me. Yeah VC!
