I went to that store not too long ago. Never really had any encounters with that bald guy everyone hates. Asked a couple questions when I was there to see if the stafdf had any knowledge. Not impressed but not displeased either. Did not like the selection when I was there and prices on livestock arent too bad but anything else is pretty much the same. All in all I drove to calgary for fish shopping and I wont go back to the store in sherwood park. It is the only one in sherwood park I know of that has saltwater. And yes I agree that people in this hobby NEED to hear to bad with the good too or this **** will happen all the time to other people.

Yep. I had the pleasure of dealing with this guy. Manager. Didn't know much, but try to impress me. Fish prices are low but you better know your stuff, or you will get misinformed. Same thing... I have this experience in how many years. But when I asked him pointed questions, he knew nada.
Good price on those "rose" anemonies, though.
Stocks are never plentiful, and what he thinks are "rare", are not.

I am just glad its not just my experience. This guy acted like such a clown I was ready to lose my mind.

As soon as somebody says "I've been doing this for _ years" you know they don't know sh*t. This is true for any industry and deal with clients and customers like this all the time.

You should have asked him how they capture anemones in the wild, last time I checked the rocks these are found on are too heavy to lift and turn upside down. Also an anemone that can't support it's own weight isn't a healthy one and a bad idea for a reef tank. Idiot!

I can attest to that, I gladly admit that my experience with SW is <5 years, but the amount of knowledge I have aquired is current and still growing.

I will never admit knowing more than anyone, there is no guage relation to experience and knowledge. That is why I make it quite clear to our staff if you are not sure, or don't know, do not be afraid to admit it.

So you spend 6 years to graduate a 2 year course, does that make you smarter than those that graduated in less time? definately not.

From my own personal experience, people that imply themselves they are the expers in the field, usually are far from it. Being an "EXPERT" is a title that is given to you by others, not a title you give yourself.

Just my 2c,

Ken - BWA
