Moral Dilemma

[skylord]

Ya one thought....J&L Aquatics ships. So does OA......guess thats 2 thoughts. A third....I would tell the guy what he needs to know and order from OA or J&L.

I second Scott's comments. Maybe approach the Petco and let them know their animals need additional care. Word it tactfully, and maybe provide some literature to back yourself up. In the meantime, don't purchase from them, and take your money elsewhere.

No reason couldn't point out in a nice way and if he freaks, walk.

Maybe try the approach, nicer tank, more sales.

I have to say I agree with all the above. Good luck, and even if they get upset at least you'll know you did the right thing.

I wouldn't spend a penny at the store and get everything from J&L and OA or anyone else you can find that will ship at a reasonable price.
I would tell the guy he is not doing himself or the tank inhabitants any good. but you never know when you'll be strapped for a pump or something and just might have to go in a get something.
But he must understand that if he wants to promote SW he should do it by having a tank that looks like crap.

But what is he going to do, even if it does anger him? Not let you shop there? Not order something for you? That's just stupid and petty.

But I also agree with the above--take your business (if possible) to a more reputable place!

Who knows, there is a reefing club in the states that are banned from Petco for trying to change conditions in one of their stores.
