Would you buy from an LFS that dodges questions?...****** Apology*******

Thanks Denny.

It just bothers me when the retailer STATES about poor survival rate then won't answer the "hard" questions in regards to it. This is not about who is right and who is wrong. Or who can keep a tiger alive (it was simply a comparison that came to mind).

I just want a question answered with respect. IF A DEALER/SPONSOR does not want to address questions regarding their POSTS, maybe they should stick to the Penny Saver.

it is obvious the retailer did not know the answer to my question, and covered ignorance with anger. There are many good sponsors on here who are more than willing to address any concerns we as reefers have. But we all know of a few who are questionable.

Sphelps, this is not finger pointing or anything. I simply feel, again, that an LFS should be able to answer questions. I was confused by his "facts" and he did not like having to face the questions. He replied with snarky comments and that is poor business.

Perhaps a "few specific" online dealers feel that since they don't see us face to face they can avoid the big issues. One more reason to stay local. Trust.

I want to reiterate.... this is not a blanket statement about all LFS and people in the hobby. This applies, I am sure, to a small group.

Please be constructive while interpreting this thread. It is about an LFS and the lack of openness with the consumer. Not about telling the LFS how to run the business, etc, etc. At no time did I tell anybody how to this or that. I simply asked a question and was answered with hostility for some reason an insult.

Please, please remember this.
