IMO the worst ting to do when you buy a fish is ask the store to keep it for a couple of week unless you buy it in a very good store that have condition very good
I agree with a lot of points Stephane makes except this one. In the past few weeks I have bought two Royal Gramas from two different stores. One went into hiding right away, and died in a week. The other one looked real good for about eight hours and died in 24 hours. A friend bought five damsels, and a Coral Beauty. All but one damsel were dead in a week.

It would seem to be better and wait a few days before buying, and let the store take the loss as their markup covers such losses.
