Does this sound as dumb as I think it sounds?

This brings up an interesting point. Let pretend your at the LFS and you overhear an employee tell a customer, "Yes sir you can keep a school of tangs in your 15 gallon reef tank."

Would you say something or keep your mouth shut?

oh yah hippies taste bitter.

Hahah! Love the replies.
We thought it was funny. And yeah, the place started in a P and ended in a D.

As for the 15 tangs in a small tank, I used to work at a petstore, and we had troubles with one lady that came in, claiming she had multiple tanks (Freshwater, mind you). And every second day she'd bring back a dead fish and want a refund, and she'd scan coupons so she didn't have to pay for anything. (This never lasted with me, but unfortunately not every employee knew who she was). Finally she bought 2 pacus (that were just under 12") because she told the employee she had a 180G tank, brought THOSE back in 2 days later, and I was the one working. Lets just say that...yes...i did open my mouth.

I wouldn't know where she'd get a fish tasting like dandelion! Hopefully she hasn't tasten either, especially to compare, but I can't say that for sure! I just had to chuckle because the customers were like "Ohhh, I get it, self defense".

Was the Lady fairly large, perhaps named Debbie Pluffe? I worked at Petland for a year and a half and what you just described is this lady to a tee.
