Depends what the question is...
IE. Whats your markup?? Who are your suppliers and can I buy direct?? etc.
In my case it depends on the store, some yes I put up with it because of price, but others I don't.
Misinformation and question dodging stores, tend to run poor setups and product speaks for its self.
My favorite question to base a store off of is "What qt do you do to new livestock arrivals"
Store 1: Whats a QT?
Store 2: Fresh water dip 5 minutes then good to go.
Store 3: Not sure, can't get an answer.
Store 4: 2 step api meds 1-2 weeks
Store 5: A blend of meds and make sure they are eating well
I very seldomly buy from stores 1, 2, and 3 but frequently from stores 4 and 5
Oddly enough they are opposite ends of the price scale.
Store 1 and 3 are the highest priced and poorest quality livestock. (ie several yellow tangs with no fins for sale 30% off)
I'll put up with only so much BS before taking my money elsewhere.
Move on to better stores and dont look back.
