So I'm at work this morning cleaning tanks feeding, feeding the small and furry and just getting ready to open. I hear this knock on the door, we're not open so I try to ignore them because it still is only 930 and we dont open until 11. So the guy at the door calls and I have the phone in my pocket and I answer and hes yelling because I'm ignoring him. I politely told him that we did not open until 11 and that he would have to come back. He didn't want to hear that so the owner told me just to let him in. So the guy comes in and starts saying that he has a deal for me...You have to understand in Wise, VA I think we have the biggest population of morons and crazy people on earth. I think it is the capitol of ignorance. So he starts mouthing off about how he wants $75 for a really rare fish he has out in his truck. I ask him what it is and he tells me I wouldn't know what it was and that I should give him the money and he'll bring it in. Of course I said no and the guy goes out to his truck and behold a 6 inch purple blood parrot. I laughed at the guy pointed to a tank that had 3 and then showed him the door. Why are people so stupid. It bewilders me the things I hear.
Stupid People

People have brought me stupid things as well. This dude wanted "top dollar" (whatever that is) for this fish I had to go to his car to see. This "huge cichlid" who's a bully in his 55gal tank, turns out to be a 14in pacu. I laughed, and told him to call up the zoo.
As I don't own the store and I get paid in store credit......Yes no customers is better than stupid customers. I did however manage to get my hand on 2 nice clown loaches and a fire eel today.
Stupid people flock to fish, what can I say.
Actually, make that pet stores. I know I delt with more than my fair share of douche bags when I worked in one. Never again.

I am honestly feeling burnt out from just working part time at a pet store the past 2 years. Its gotten to the point where the stupidity is reoccurring. As odd as that sounds...its ALWAYS the same claims, arguments, problems, questions at this point. It never fails.
Its disappointing but i really think i'm going to quit soon, i get enough headaches from class all week.
