Importance of the Invoice

[ron101]

Do you know how easy it would be to doctor one of those!

That's what I'm thinking. So you tell the salesperson that you are concerned about cyanide caught fish and ask him where the fish came from and he tells you. Either he is, to the best of his knowledge, telling you the truth or he is being unscrupulous and telling you a lie.

Sure there is a humane reason for asking to see an invoice in this case but like someone else said, try that at a hardware store and you will likely be promptly and politely denied; it is just not good business. Not to mention that if you are being told a lie then what is to say the unscrupulous salesperson won't show you a bogus document.

I asked the salesperson at one of the big LFS about cyanide caught fish ni general. I was surprised to hear him admit that all their shipments are claimed to be drug free but that personally, he didn't believe it. Apart from using one's own observation and perhaps asking to see the fish eat and to hold it for 24 hours w/deposit I don't think there is more than a customer can reasonably expect.
