Thanks for all the input everybody. It certainly gives me lots to consider. I think for now I will just offer some advice each time I go in there and keep watching for the actual owner. Then perhaps I will offer my assistance in anyway I can.
Fortunately they keep all the SW (aside from the disgusting display tank) in the back so I don't have to see any of it while shopping for other things.
The manager is clueless. I came to that conclusion after watching her with the SW livestock for less then a minute. She is also very touchy, seems like she could be a real beotch so I figure I would be wasting my breath anyways.
She told me that the display tank is 10-15 yrs old which tells me that they think they know what they are doing. So I am sure they are not looking for advice from any of their know it all customers.
If I ever see the owner you can gaurantee I will be cornering him and asking him some keys questions to determine his knowledge. Perhaps he is a different type of person, open to suggestions etc.
Time will tell I guess.
Thanks again everybody.
