Now that you are done ranting, you get to go back tomorrow and do it again. They never stop coming. And it isn't just at the fish store where you work. They are everywhere. Just wait til you get to work for some mindless dolt who knows everything just because they are your boss.

ya know I cant comment but let us just say theres some managerial type promoting and moving around that puts me in that very predicament.

and two point for using dolt I say it alot but was unsure on the spelling !
 
You actually are lucky! At my LFS it is the other way around. The workers actually have no clue, they lose more fish as opposed to selling them. Looking at their stock the fish are way over crowded, they make up names for fish and the fish are malnutritioned.

haha actually I dont have that problem usually were struggling to find out what things are we get from distributors with made up names. but I work in a seriously passive aggressive type dept basically there is serious "differences of opinion" well not reall differences we all think the same of each other but if you see us youll never notice, except one guy always tells people im an idiot and all my fish die.....word for word a fw customers have told me, they deal solely with me now. a few im sure deal solely with him now too though. and the overcrowding OH the overcrowding so many livebearers so little space! I think thats everywhere but like the corporate whores because the so i dont wanna say well regulated but well they get their asses in a sling.

Speaking of idiots here is one for ya. I work for a Hardwood flooring manufacturer and I train Lowes employees on our product. Well I went into one of the Lowes here in Texas with our products and we have a line that is Handscraped/distressed. Well the employee looks at me and looks at the handscraped and asks me why I brought them damaged product. I told him that it is not damaged, its handscraped, he looked at it again and said " that looks like sh*t". I laughed because this is the best selling hardwood floor on the market today. Even funnier is that the next morning he called my company to tell them that I brought old damaged product to the store and they were not going to sell it until I got nice smooth product in. Hmmm... I will trade you for a day in my life.

I work in flooring too. Everyday I contemplate diving from the roof headfirst, rather than deal with these idiots. Quite a few people lose their minds when they spend more than a thousand dollars.
 
DUDE, im like 6'8" and a BIG guy, tell me were you work and ill come in and headbutt anyone you like for some free stuff!
 
Speaking of genocide only 2 words needed (Walmart Fish) why are they allowed to slaughter so many species by just being lazy and uninformed. I cant even go there anymore. The other day a kid was buying a 10 gallon tank and was sold 3 red belly pacu and 4 oscars to put in it with some cory cats to top it off...As spoke uf there were like 7 kids pounding on the glass and putting stuff in the water,,STOP THE INSANITY!!
 
no matter where you work, what you sell or anything. if its retail...its only a matter of time if you haven't experienced it yet.. I could go on and on. I know I've posted a few in the past, but it truly does get ridiculas (sp) from time to time...
 
i worked at a LFS many years ago. and i basically had the same issues. we also didn't work on commision. so i told ppl the truth, and the LFS ended up firing me becasue of my sales were to low. but i'm with you guys. and there is no way in hell i would sell some fish to ppl after finding out what they wanted to put the fish in. :D
