Importance of the Invoice

[GregJ]

I'm curiuos to know why everyone is so hungup on a peice of paper? Do you know how easy it would be to doctor one of those! At least you can catch the crappy LPS stores in a lie, if they have to come up with some sort of story. Wait until every LFS store has a copy of there invoice, with everything but the loction blacked out, then it will really be hard to tell the good from the bad. Personally I think that it's great when someone takes the time to talk to me, and would find it insulting after they spent time telling me about the fishes location to ask to see the invoice, I mean whats the point then, they might as well hire someone for $8 an hour if all they're going to be doing is showing an invoice. I have found that most of the good people in this hobby are in it because they love what they do and will spend the time to talk to you. Besides most of the good LPS have some sort of guarentee, and it isn't really in there interest to sell you a fish that your going to return. I'd like to think that there are still good people out there and that I can still count on someones word without having to see some invoice. That said, there are also idiots out there that think they know everything, but again either I catch them saying something stupid and go talk to someone else or I live and learn, either way there out of my life and won't get any praise from me when asked. Just my .02
