LFS that lie.

My favorite is the LFS who told my wife that she would be overdriving the t5 bulbs with the light fixture he was trying to sell her but it was not electrically possible, but little did he know that she already knew what she wanted researched it and knew he was full of it. If that wasnt enough she called me and asked.

I made me mad cause i have shopped there before, and i honestly think he thought because she was a woman she wouldnt know electrical info, in reality she knew more than him, and i was proud of her for it.

There is another lesson, woman are just as informed or more so as men in this hobby and the LFS better take note.

Powertec any more interesting rants you would like to share, you all know we like hearing them ! Larger chain locations tend to be pretty bad with this kind of thing, of course the best solution to this is researching everything you purchase, reviews are a life saver! I once had a live fish store sell me 15 red legged hermits and 1 large "Filter feeding crab". The guy placed them all in the same bag and said I would be good to go. By the time I got home the so called "filter feeding crab" had broken open and eaten 12/15 of the red legged. In the end though there loss, no repeat business on my behalf.

I once personally saw the owner of a local fish store tell a customer that a Derasa clam wouldn't get much bigger than it was at the store (the clam was only about 5"). So sad. It is supposedly one of the "reputable" stores here as well.
