Stupid customer tricks

Well,, These stories dont belong here but I need to get them off my chest!
I will try to make sense, spell right and be fast
........
okay ,,, I was catching some tiger barbs for a lady, at the store I worked at,
I caught like 5 and then the next one I had in the net ,.,.disappeared???
I climbed off the ladder and felt something squish under my feet, as I stepped onto the floor.
I knew I squished the tiger barb and I didnt let the lady know,, [ im good!]
-r.i.p. tiger barb #6 you will be missed!-
.....
I ordered some mystery snails for some customers, and the next day I came to work and the snails were gone. I asked "did somebody buy all the snails?",, and my 'co-worker' says "they all died !"
In my head I picture him "disposing" of, the more than likely alive snails and then I got back to work { really bad job by the way},,,,
,,,,customers kept saying how bad it smelled, this wasnt so strange, since I heard that alot
Finally 3-5 days after I recieved the poor mystery snails, a customer points at a kuhli loach tail, the kuhli loach went through the filtration pumps and had gotten to a different tank. The same tank I had put the mystery snails in ! I smelled death as soon as I got near the tank , I still didnt connect the smell with the source yet..
When I ruffled the gravel to get the kuhli loach,, 2 mystery snail shells , floated free and smelled so bad I cannot describe! I swooped them up in my hands to get rid of the aweful smell. When I came back to the customer it smelled even worse!,,, I found out the next day that a 5 day dead mystery snail slides right out of his shell and splats on the floor and stinks up the area for weeks!..... ...the end.

ahah funny
i went to a pets store to get some guppies to breed for feeders. one of my mates was with me and i told him what i was planning to do.
so he asks the girl if they would breed like i had said they would.
she looks at him and says yeah you just have to give them a place to lay their eggs.
i looked at her and said "i think youre wrong"
i then asked her how much the eels were and she points at a tank of sirens and says 20 bucks.
HAHAHAHA

Lady: Im looking for a pleco because my tank is so dirty.
Me: Well right now we have only the commons, we are sold our of the dwarfs.
Lady: No problem, just aslong as it cleans my tank.
Me: You know, they dont really clean your tank as much as they cause a mess.
Lady: Sure. Im just looking for a small one to start off in my 10gal.
Me: These things get to 3ft.
Lady: Not in my tank they will.
Me: Why do you say that?
Lady: Because the ammount of fish i have in my tank. Like neon tetras, tiger barbs ect.
Me: Well that dosnt mean this guy wont grow...
Lady: Are you stupid? Fish only grows as big to a certurn ammount of fish. Less fish meaning bigger fish, more fish meaning smaller fish.
Me: Who the hell told you that?
Lady: I know my stuff.
Me: Ok, anything else you want me to bag? We have these cool fish to go with your tetras called peacock bass.
Lady: No thanks, i only need a cleaner for today.

speaking of plecos, I over-heard a cute male employee at the store I worked at telling a customer her pleco died because algae kills it!
as cute as he was , we got in a huge arguement , right in front of the customer. whats worse , I think she didnt believe my explanation,
because [his story] algae is visible versus [my theory] nitrogen cycle is invisible!
The moral of the story is, if your cute, your still wrong!
And im always right,

The weird thing is...The people that i get the most bull**** from, is the type of people that only shops the "community" fish isle. Not the south american, african, or anything other then your common "Tetras" ect.
The african cichlid people i run into are smart as hell. The south american people i run into are down to earth as hell.
Im starting to be able to judge people by their fish. haha

Connor0729;725177; said:ok, now does anyone have any other STUPID COSTOMER TRICKS. i'm sick of reading "its not there fault" and "you probably made mistake when you were a noob too". we know all of that, but come on, this thread use to be hilarious, now its just plain boring. so to spice it up a bit, here is a STUPID EMPLOYEE STORY.
me and my brother were at a petcetera and belack (my little bros nickname) was looking at the blue acaras. anyway he asks this girl to bag one up for him, and she says "these aren't blue acaras, the're a cichlid of some kind". me and belack are like "ya, umm, a blue acara is a cichlid". shes like "oh, ok".
why the h*ll does she work there if she doesn't even know that a blue acara is a freakin cichlid.
oh ya, the blue acara turned out to be a jack dempsey.
i hate that store. from now on i shop at big al's and nowhere else.
Someone else may have already commented but your story is dumb. I guess the fish should have been labelled better but what did the dirl do wrong?? You and your bro where the idiots that thought a JD was an acara.
