Hah, I had a similar experience at another store around Nanaimo a couple of weeks ago. I was told "if you are shopping at J&L Aquatics, we don't wan't you as a customer". I was only trying to let them know they were more than twice the price as J&L... they made it like crystal ClearWater they didn't want me as a customer, so now I shop elsewhere . Maybe it's that time of the 'year' . I know it is typically slow through the summer for aquarium stores.

I was in yesterday also. She wouldn't even get off the computer to help me. I asked and she said. I'm only part time. Call Taylor tommorow. And ran back to her bingo game. I have talked to ken about her before and he made 100 excuses. I simply told him if she's working I'll walk out. I think part of the problem is ken and her hubby are besties. I'm sure it will reflect in his sales as there's been lots of complaints

Don't these seem to contradict each other Titus?

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

To set the record straight, Shannon is still there, as her two weeks is not up yet. She has been given an offer that she couldn't refuse to work with horses, and since her daughter is competing it will allow here to be there more for her.

As for the odd dead livestock, depending on the time of day, and the location of the issue. All stores have this issue, so this isn't because Shannon is gone. just overlooked.

As for the rude staff member, I WILL deal with this immediately as this is NOT acceptable. As for that comment, that will be brought up also.

BTW Nick, you mentioned it to me once, and I made no excuses, I told you I would talk to her about it.

My personal apologies to anyone,

Ken

I agree with Ken. I've been to every lfs in the city and have seen dead livestock in everyone at some point or another. Just think about the fact that we have all lost a fish or two in our systems, now think about how many fish they deal with in a day to day basis. It happens.

The rudeness is another story. It should never be welcomed and knowing what I know about Ken it won't be.

I'll still be shopping at blue world.

Cheers
Adam
