>Cool, I didn't take it personally. I just get tired of "pet stores suck"

In my area there is the 1 to 4 ratio. One is Petco, nuf said, then the Mall has a puppy pusher, then there is a hole in the wall with mite riddled herps and birds in tiny cages with no toys, that likewise pushes puppys....then there is us. HINT, we are the one that doesn't suck.

We do birds, small animals, herps and fish (marine and fresh) and we have to know all the departments as it is not possible to have four people on duty all the time. The ownere would go broke on payroll. So there is usually two on at a time with some overlap.

So days the 'aquatics specialist' is off we have to have some basic knowledge so as not to sell $150 corals for $20 and be able to give reasonable advice about fish. I try to drill into the guys what NEVER to do with the herps, what ALWAYS to remember to tell folks and all that. I usually try to bring in my own animals to impress the new guy with exactly how big a savannah gets or a snake, or what a Blue front amazon parrot is like or what not. Most of us have something that comes to work with us. The fish we post pictures of. Stuff like that.

Like I said, it is a great thing to have passionate people.
