From time to time I'll take a bunch of Endlers to the local
fish store. Now, I've taken excess fish and plants to stores
for decades and I know: 1) they don't give you much 2) you
only ever get store credit. The local fish store is part of
a big chain and it's not bad; it's staffed by nice helpful and
friendly people who seem to enjoytheir job immensly.

Soemtime last fall I took a bunch in. I needed a pump for on
of my kids tanks.

They could not give me store credit. Their new computer system
has no way of letting them do this. I pleaded with them "cash
is no good, my wife will spend it on milk or food orsomething useless
PLEASE give me store credit". Can't do it.

YMMV.


LOL! The one time I got cash was when I brought in over 20 S. ahli
large enough for the males to show color. I knew damn well they were
bigger and healthier than what that store usually got and so did the
owner. ;-)
