I noticed a few people complaining about petsmart.. sorry to hear the one near you hired bad employers.. But I want to point out not all are bad.
I have 2 new me in complete oppisite directions. One south and one north. The south I started going to because it was in a safer location, but one day my guppy had started getting a hole in her head, so I took her hoping to find the person who helped last time (she knew what she was talking about!) but she quit because their manager wouldnt let her cure their fish for ich and were still selling the fish...
So the new employer just took a quick glance at my guppy and handed malfix to me saying that would cure her.. NOT! At the time I couldnt figure out what to do to help my guppy i researched for a week just to figure out what it was! (sadly didnt find out until after she passed)
So I decided to go to the one on the North side to get my water tested. The girl that did it admited she didnt know much and asked a different employer to come down so he could help me. He had aquariums the same size as mine showed pictures and everything so I would know he had at least some expirence with fish. He pointed out I had high nitrates and I told him my tank. he did say that getting bottom feeders would be best but considering the fish I have they would get eaten.
Point in that was that he was honest! He told me to do a 75% water change and come back next week to test my water, and to turn my undergravel filter off. (was told to do that by mother.. a bit realived I dont need it anymore!) Now I come to that one every week and he makes sure to help me.
So not all Lfs are that bad
In fact as soon as I graduate high school (in three months!) I'm applying for a job there myself so I can learn more about other fish they have! They educate eachother and help their customers!
