They are going to make money regardles if they give you a discount or not. I dont know why Id feel bad about trying to save money? They can say no. They try to make as much money as they can and keep the customer happy. Its an expensive hobby and if they can keep you coming back they are only going to make more money.
Maybe I just get discounts because Ive been doing this way to long and and they are tired of me asking.

You get discounts from J&L? I don't. I tried a couple of times. My experience is exactly the same as Mak's.

Yes. I got a discount on my Blueface angel. List was $179, got it for $150 with tax included. They had the fish for 3 weeks. That was my last purchase purchase besides salt. No discount.

I guess its worth a try. I think it's just me cause I live on the island so when I come out to Van I like to support my "local" fish store. We don't have any here and you kinda go nuts

I think the way I look at it J&L can have my few extra bucks so that when I come back the next time they have nice livestock ect, ect. Know what I mean? Ah well..
