i eat buttons
for those that haven't read my ramblings,
we only have 2 pet stores around here, both filled with incompitant, rude people
one of them laid me off for personal reasons, after humiliating me and calling me names the whole time i worked there saying "he has no complaints about me as an employee, i just didn't fit in"
so i am stuck going to petcetera (the only other store) or going 2 towns over which isn't always convenient
anyways,
i went to petcetera to celebrate my new job by buying a new friend
and what do i see?
A RUSTY RED CROWNTAIL MALE!
i have found a crowntail female as a total fluke but they are VERY rare around here and i have never seen a male except one other flukey time (not even 2 towns over)!
well i enthusiastically took him over to the till when i realized that i had left my wallet at home and was 80 cents short in change
so i jokingly asked if the lady would give me a deal since he had a slight bit of fungus
*i have had and cared for fish for years so i know how to treat them with 100% success
in fact, any time you buy them down here they almost ALWAYS have fungus
so yeah back to my story
the girl looked at me and said "we can't sell you a sick fish"
fair enough i thought
but i couln't help but blurt out, then maybe you should keep a closer eye on your bettas, cause by that rule you can't sell any of them
so she put that ONE betta that barely had any fungus in the back and kept all the other bettas that were barely alive up front
so i said,
look you can make it so that i can't return it if it dies
and she was like
"NO, WE CAN'T SELL A SICK FISH!"
and they don't even have proper meds!
they have never successfully treated anything (not even ich)
i was so mad
ALL their fish are sick
she just doesn't care
so i am going back today (after 4 days)
say a little prayer that he is still alive
he would be my first crowntail male ever!
i would hate for him to rot in a tiny cup or vase in some martha stewart home
that will only get him for the decoration
or even worse go home with one of the stupid petcetera women that know nothing of fish or disease
im so scared that they are gunna let him die with all the rest

There was a siamese cat who was on the death list, I begged and begged to let him come home with me and she refused because I didn't have the money to pay his 'fees'. So instead of living a happy,long life with me, they put him to sleep.
