that's so funny i used to work at a local video store and this old woman would always rent VHS movies and come back and say "This movie wouldn't work in my dvd player and i don't know why?" it's funny you say something like that.ewurm;849953; said:
Ewurm i'd love to have your job just to be a complete idiot to them and mess with their head so much.... I'd get them buying fw plants for SW simply by telling them that the plants sweat alot from all of the light and need some salt to help replace some of the electrolytes that they lose form sweating.
Yeah, I have plenty of LFS stories that are just as depressing. The latest one involves the two people working there arguing over whether or not I should get credit for my fish (when they said I would on the phone). They argued the whole time, the one guy said I had credit and got me some corals, the other guy rang it up and said he'd give me half of the credit.
I told them they have no idea how to run a business and just walked out (without the coral, without the fish, and without any intention of returning).
Another LFS that I used to trade fish with wanted to give me smaller versions of the cichlids I was trading (as opposed to store credit). I scratched my head on that one for a long time. LOL.
It's hard to find a good LFS, because it's hard for LFS to deal with tards and to make money. The best bet for good hobbyists and good LFS folks is to be good to each other and just tolerate the idiots. The problem is..... we're outnumbered!!!! That's why I am increasingly going to the internet for buying and selling fish.

I think some people don't realize how much goes into keeping fish, you have to be somewhat of a chemist/biologist/mechanic. I'm very greatful to a LFS in Fort Collins, CO (don't know if they are still there) called Denizens of the Deep. They made me not feel like an idiot for not knowing about cycling and now 5 years later I am a good fish keeper 
Oh and I worked for a nice department store as a makeup artist and people would bring in completely used $200.00 moisturizer and say they wanted a refund.
"It made me breakout." was always the excuse 
Well why the **** did you use it all dumbass!

Alot of people really are 'Tards and need someone to leash/wrangle them.
Heres one of my stories, workin at fast food(McD's) on the massachusetts turnpike, westbound- We would get alot of customers, especially during rush hour. I worked the front registers and expidited food, and played double duty on the fry machine. We would get alot of Foreigners , which made it challenging to communicate.. Being on the turnpike, there would always be trailer trucks and tour busses pulling in. One day a pi$$ed off trucker who hated his life came in and ordered a meal deal, and specifically ordered that I give him Fresh french fries.(is there such a thing? there frozen to begin with!) I served him up his food, went to the fry basket and gave him a Med. fry, put in his bag and handed it to him, he got all huffy and said "What, are you frickin stupid? I asked you for fresh french fries" I told him that this is the mass pike and we handle over 250 customers an hour, and that all french fries are fresh and hot... he didnt like that, and said "G**dam* you A****le get me fresh fries" threw the fry carton on the counter, spilling them. At that point I waited for the next batch to get done, salted them and gave him his special french fries, which were no hotter than the others. I told him to have a good day, F himself and crash and burn his rig. Lolz my managers asked what was up, and why I threw a fit, but they were understanding
Another day, A few tour busses came through. We had to serve the elderly, which isnt that bad....but a tour bus full of retards(mentally handicapped to be politically correct) came in, and they all lined up like it was some sort of amusement park rollercoaster on a hot day, when there was 4 other restaraunts in the building. No, they all had to come specifically to McD's with only 2 open registers. I had to take orders from these challenged 'tards and their rope wranglers, and I specifically remember one kid who couldnt come up with the money for his order, as he sat and counted his change 15 times in his head and out loud. finally i took his cash and gave him his order. so what if the draw was a dollar or 2 short? I spent more time that day waiting for these incompetant humans to count their money and figure out what they wanted.... stupid customers made me quit that job, so i worked landscaping under contract for my town taking care of cemetaries. I like dead people, they are so polite!
I walked into a brooks pharmacy once to get a pack of cigarettes, and some ditz was behind the counter. I handed her a $20, along with some change so I could get an even 15 back... she rang it up, started counting out my change... out loud. put a $5 in one hand, a $10 in the other, looked at 1 hand and said, 5, looked at the other, said 10, looked back at the other, said 5 again, then realized it was 15, then got me a few nickles and pennies and sent me on my way.... must have been illiterate, cause the register tells how much change to give back... some people, I swear...their gene pools need to be heavily chlorinated

no kidding 'eh
I've never worked in an LFS but working at Lake Compounce in CT with the food there are some real dumbasses that come in. One time a lady asked if there was a meat sauce for the vegiterian vegtable lasanga.
