Store Frustrations

[Kabong]

I hate going in to stores with gorgeous display tanks, but the actual livestock tanks are covered in algae, half dead corals, and at least one corpse stuck in a overflow.

How about, instead of spending all your time keeping your display tanks immaculate.
You spend a little time on the tanks I'm buying out of.

It really makes my blood boil when I walk into a store and see beautiful healthy livestock. Seriously, don't they know I'm trying to save up money for more Starbucks?!? The nerve..

being in the service industry I know the ups and downs of retail. I am going to Calgary this week end and thinking I should be prepared I sent not one but two pm's to a store looking for equipment last week. This wasn't for a lookeelou when I get to the store this was to purchase the pieces. I leave tommorrow for Calgary and not a reply from the vendor REALLY!!! It is very easy for myself to ship items from large stores state side as we go to the border weekly and have a US postal box. That does not help the small retailer nor support the local economy. If you want to playin the electronic age do so do not just pay lip service and ignore the people that will support you!!!!

Rant over

Frustrating.....hmmm....getting pricing on something that is supposed to include shipping, then being told shipping is not included.......interesting "Concept" from an "Aquarium" store in Calgary. Then being told the misunderstanding is because of the customer?

I appreciate the apology Dave. But please be clear that I had contacted staff a number of times in the last week both by phone and e-mail.

In the end it is what it is, so the refund was "demanded".
