LFS Support

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Almost all my addiction-related $$ goes to the LFS or local reefers. Once or twice a year I might join a group buy from a Canadian vendor (usually). Almost never order anything from the States myself, unless I tag along with one of my buddies on his group orders (once every two+ years).

I buy local because I too like to see the fish or coral in person. I almost always get the LFS staff to feed the fish before I buy it.

This is the same reason I always use a teller at the bank instead of the ATM. If everyone goes electronic, then lots of real people lose their jobs.

Besides, I seem to know most of the people in this hobby locally and am good friends with a lot of the people working in our LFS. In Greater Vancouver, we are blessed with several good sw stores so I try to give them most of my business if I buy retail.
