Various degrees of fishkeeping...
- Thread starter arherp
- Start date
13-year old Walks into lfs and chats with the manager for 15 minutes about his fish, her fish, stupid customers, the 22 Mosquitofish fry he gave her last month. Then walks back to the fish tank section and gawks at new and old fish, taking cellphone pics, yet declines help from employees. tells 2 kids with a bowl to stop looking at the RTC as it will grow large enough to eat a dog. Distracts them when they then start looking at Gar, then Ocellaris.
finally decides he DOES want help and buys another Moss Ball.
Who is this?

They don't have to look like that but the majority of "tough guys" I saw looked like that while I was working.Mystus Redtail;2734485; said:

And for you fish store owners....THE FISH HUSTLER !! walks in saying he can get that fluval for 60.00 on ebay or that tank is way overpriced i can get it across town for half that.how about i take 2 dovii for 10.00 and throw in a jag for free.lol some poor fish store owners have to combat this all day every day.
Haha, I'm not an owner, but I see that all the time. "I can get this food for half the price at Wal-mart"........."Ok, go do it...." With small stuff like that, I don't even bother trying to sell to them. I have no control whatsoever of the prices on almost everything we sell. Now, if it's an aquarium kit or something, it doesn't take much to sell them on how much better quality the brands we sell are compared to Wal-mart (the only other REALLY close by retailer that sells any aquarium stuff). Some people I just don't bother with. All I can tell them is "We're NOT Wal-mart."bigriver;2735649; said:
