Retarded LFS

[Frostyone]

Then we had a guy bring in a dead pleco. Here's how the conversation went

Customer: "Yo I bought this fish two weeks ago and then he just died last night, I want a new one"
Me: "Do you have your reciept?"
Customer: "Yea, it's right here" He hands me the reciept
Me: "We have a 48 hour garuntee on freshwater fish, and you must bring in a water sample, it states that right here on the bottom of your receipt, and it's posted on our front door and on the registers."
Customer: "So you ain't gonna gimme a new fish"
Me: "Sir I'm telling you what our policy is, we cannot replace a 2 week old purchase"
Customer: (Confrontational and threatening now) "Don't tell me sh1t"
Me: "Well now I'm telling you to leave the store and don't come back"

People's stupidity never ceases to amaze me

Everyone who saw the exchange died laughing when I kicked him out.

Thankfully all the LFS's in my area have mostly very knowledgeable staff. I work part time at one and have more experience with retarded customers. Take for instance a guy I was speaking to last night. He was asking me why his ammonia levels were crazy high (6.0ppm), so I asked him what was in his tank.

2 5" bala sharks
1 6" Irridesent (sp?) shark
2 4" Silver Aro's
2 6" Oscars
and a couple of other fish I can't recall at the moment

Then I asked him what size tank he had.

Anyone wanna venture a guess??

Oh geez, what an idiot, that guy's just wasting his money basically. People should really do their research...

LOL and one time i went to a fishstore in this little town in pennsylvania that probably had a population under 1000 lol and i see a 3" RTC for $14.99 So I went to buy it, the girl goes "what size tank do you have" so I go "10 Gallons" as a test and shes like "ok" and bags up the fish. While I was leaving the lfs the manager goes "ohhhh a striped raphael catfish" and Im just like "LULZ" as I walked away.

I agree, we are lucky in that respect. Which one do you work at?

THANK YOU PEOPLE FOR STARTING THIS THREAD!! UP UNTIL THIS POINT I HAVE NEEDED TO TELL MY PARENTS/SISTERS/FRIENDS ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS OVER AND OVER! There's a local pet shop that sells the WORST baby fish ever! Arowanas 2 inches long, Iridecent Sharks of the same size, a 11'' Oscar and a similarly sized Redtail in what MUST be a 20 gal, an Oscar, a 14'' Iridecent Shark and even a 14'' Masheer (I think) in a 20 gal! And I have a feeling that if I asked, they would suddenly become an "Adult fish."They try to disguise the fish by using the scientific name: Leporinus hawawawa. Masheer blabluebla. They have a Jack Dempsey tank and a Green Terror tank connected with a clear wall...bet some face offs happen there... a baby Tiger Catfish a Black Ghost in a 10 gal together!
Another one has a tank with a Spanish Hog or a Hawkfish with no lights on, Clownfish with no shelter, not even a rock, half-dead Bird Wrasse or Blue Tang, etc. In another one, my Mom took me to a pet shop while she got bird/cat food I asked a fish guy "Don't they {Iridecent Sharks} get BIG?" and he said, "No, about this big." He spread his hands 6 inches apart. Probably thinking: "Wow, I schooled that kid."

Ahhhh, that felt good.

wow...I annoying how some LFS don't even know what some fishes are thats in the tank they take care of (most likely not) and so its just like this one time I went to Petco to buy some Algae Wafers and a couple live plants and such for my Red Bellied Pacu and so when I asked this one guy who stated he worked their for 8 years...he doesn't know what a pacu is...(-___-) how can he not know what a pacu is if their are tons of them in one of their tanks? I was so annoyed when I was their and I was like " you know what...I'll just go find it myself so you can do you job" which he is freakin retarded at. And while I was getting everything I saw the nOOby worker and he was helping this old guy and he wanted a Red Bellied Pacu and he showed the old guy where the pacus are and I was like "WTF?! this guys has got to be F***** around when I asked him about the pacu...this B****!" and he then helped the guy to where the Algae Wafers were and live plants for the pacu to feed off on...it seem he was racist to filipinos I would have brought my 15" Red Bellied Pacu and tosses it in his tank at home too bad it wasn't their. Also when I came back like a month later for more food the guy was helping this girl out and like she wanted a specific pacu for her 240 gallon right and so the guy went to help her out with picking one pacu but the guy said "oh no sorry thats not a pacu that your picking...thats a pirahna" I was like in my head "uhmmm this guys has some serious issues...those aint no pirahna those are pacus...they do look similar when young buts its still easy to tell them apart from jaw formations"
