Reefman90, can you tell us what LFS you work at? Maybe we can ask for you by name next time we're in. You can show us just what your store is doing to improve the reputation of Calgary LFS'.

guess you have to look at it from the customers eyes and being that you are that well known apparently you wont see it from our perspective

Just curious if you could kindly elaborate

How much < % > of what you sell in the store irks your conscience when you tie the bag up and check it through ? ... how much of your livestock do you have control over when you place a order ? ...

Just wanted to say that barely anything that goes through there, when I worked at a LFS Irks my mind...I would have to say that when I worked at a LFS that there are always a few questionable things...and there are always a few surprises...but you have to take into account who you are dealing with. KNow the person you are buying your fish from, do youir own research, through talking to employees, reading, and this board, and overall, what I am trying to get across, is to ask questions, guage responses, and perhaps even develop a criteria for your LFS employee to meet...
As to how much control....almost 100 %. But like I said, sometimes we are made to feel like we have to order moorshi idols, and seahorses, cause despite our warnings...these people want them. (your board helps steer people clear of that though.!
I have seen a few times however, a store trying a new supplier just for variety, and getting a whole shipment in dead...possibly cyanide...and that is something that is unavoidable...seriously...trying to offer the custiomer the lowest price and still stay in business is what we all try to do.

and take a look around and see what some stores in other cities are doing in this hobby

Just wanted to say that I have been to some of the online places...visiting their actual stores over the years...and it can be pretty dissapointing to see...however on a side note, I have never ordered online...from a consumer perspective that is. !
Have a nice evening
