Walmart- Change for the better?

[seds]

54 cents for a fat head minnow is highway robbery!

I would rather my walmart had fish TBH.

Meijer doesn't have jardinis, I was just using that as an example. My meijer had literally and seriously, 65 2.5 inch oscars in a 20 gallon, Covered in ich and starving to where you could see bones. (very hard in fish) I got 3 ich- covered sick red eye tetras, and the person netting them missed the bag. They went on the floor and he kicked them under the display. I'm thinking, ok, maybe he has downs or somthing, i'll let it go. He got three more out, and the bag they went in leaked. He dumped the entire thing in the sink. I say I don't want them anymore, and he nods and goes right back at it. I ease away from him, but he is determind. This time he holds them *tightly* in the net, dumos them in the bag, looks through the aisles, finds me, and puts them in my cart.

The moral of the story is don't let severly autistic people net fish!

"literally and seriously"? Nope. There are two things wrong with that statement:
1- If there were 65 oscars in a 20 gallon, you would not be able to count them accurately.
2- Meijers orders batches of 10-20 oscars. I personally have not seen more than about 10 in a tank.

Which Meijer are you talking about? I've been to the ones around Louisville and Lexington.

You apparently don't think that Meijer should carry fish- and this is a respectable opinion. However, your made up stories, outrageous examples, and exaggerations are undermining the validity of your argument. Unpersuasive at best. My stance on Meijer carrying fish remains the same- there are worse stores, but there are also better ones.

I have bought from Meijer and Petsmart. I know this supports them, but the problem is the LFS in my area aren't that good. I actually see more fish sick, percentage wise, at some of the LFS. Except for one place, that comes to mind, the employees at the LFS seem grumpy. It is a chore for them to answer your questions. Most of the employess seem to not know much more than a chain store employee anyway. So, in my circumstance, why not buy fish that look healthier and also have a guarantee? The only thing my LFS seem to have going for them is more unusual fish.

I miss this one LFS owner who used to be helpful when i was a kid. Too bad he sold his business
