Retail
Has any1 ever worked in retail?
I worked in an aquarium when i was younger and you would not believe the sheer stupidity of people, u just end up loathing them all.
Here are some of the questions i used to get;
-My fish didnt look very well so i put an aspirin in his tank (consequently it died)
-Ive got a Hammerhead Shark in my tank, what other fish can live with it? (pointed out that they get to up to 4m long, so it was impossible, and you cant import them!)
-Some pikes were looking at crabs and all i heard was "Look at them water spiders!"
-How do you keep your tanks so clean?; we clean them!
-Look! Nemo!
-We want to have seahorses in a goldfish bowl. - I pointed out that the name SEAhorses does actually mean they need sea water.
-Do we have to get a tank? Cant the fish just live in the bag?
-Are your fish outdoors outdoor fish?
-I need som gravel for my tank how much do i need? I said how bigs your tank? He replyed " i havent got a clue"!
-"i want that fish" pointing at 500 fish.
And everytime someone wanted a fish you d always here "and with chips", god how boringly predictable.
These may not sound that bad but these are people who we had repeatably told how to look after their fish, given them leaflets, and they still dont get it!!
