I just try not to go into stores where salespeople would likely be commission based unless I'm actually in the market for whatever that store sells. Mainly because I used to work commission sales and the salespeople were on a rotation, so when someone came into the store, whatever salesperson's turn it was greeted them and would try to help and once that customer left, salesperson went to bottom of the rotation again.

Worked at a flooring store years ago and was right next door to an auto repair place. So we'd have women who were waiting on their oil change that would come over and look around just to kill time waiting on their car. It was annoying as hell on days when it was slow and you may have waited 2-3 hours for your turn in the rotation but when its your turn, the customer who comes in isn't shopping, just killing time waiting on their car. But that counted as your turn in the rotation

Who takes pictures at the fish store. Are you really going to look back at them in 20 years and reminisce?

No

I actually got the idea to make this thread when I was in the store feeling like an arse, because I had been approached by a 3rd employee. I took the pics to place in this thread specifically

Most stores in south la is .50 for rodi and 1.00/gal for salt.

I have a 29 gal nano reef at home and a 19 at the office.

Nice. 29 gallons is a nice size, saw some 29s today when I was out. What do you have stocked in your tanks?

One thing you should never do is visit websites that sell shite and not buy anything.

I'm about to add a sixline wrasse. Pods are eating my zoas. I considered a mandarin goby but it would be tough in a 29. Even one that is established.

Are you going to add a pistol shrimp for it?

Really want a 6 line or a Melanurus Fairy wrasse. Can you have both or can you only have one wrasse in a tank. Don't want fighting.

I heard you can only have Mandarins if you have a refugium capable of producing lots of copepods and amphipods. Which sucks because they are bad arse fish that are fun and active

Considering the pistol next. Also was a rose bubble tip and a pair of clowns.

Definitely need a bigger system to support the mandarin. Selective eaters are a pita.

Why would that be wrong?

I will say I feel guilty using a bathroom without buying something.
