It wasnt really any of my business honestly.. in retrospect I wish I had, but thats not the point, point is people willsell you anything regardless of right or wrong.

Yes!! you should have. I am very quiet and shy... but I would have said to both the customer and the employee that it was a very poor idea and gone on to explain why. If nothing else you may have taught them both something they did not know.

You were loking for the dislike or comment button and had one of those 'oh **** this is real life' moments.

I would of if it was me.

Although I have to say that's odd, was it the big als in Edmonton? Just wondering because on several occasions I have heard different staff there asking customers what size tank do you have when someone wants to buy and tang. If the customer said it's less then an 80g the staff have told them tangs need a bigger tank.

yeah in edmonton, but I never saw this staff member before, perhaps he was new, I know all the others there from being a FW customer for about 5 years, but this is the first time I saw this guy

Well, not so much my random thought... but my hermit's? I dont know what he was thinking. He spent the whole day in this spot pouting inside his shell. I 'let him down' this evening... he took a little while and finally started motoring around.



PS: Please excuse my terrible Iphone picture & Cyano.
