Between all of us, we have probably visited 100s of petshops, perhaps
1000s of times, and overheard comments which made our ears go red. Does
anyone have any favourites?

I remember overhearing :
"Goldfish can live in a bowl because they are air breathers",

- and of course the perennial classic:
"Oscars are fine in a community tank".

I miss all this good stuff. I wonder if I should listen while they

I have... when I have time from work at PetCo down the street.. on my
own time at !PetSmart....

quiet funny....

Actually sad... a lot of the time the big-boxes could sell more if
they educated their staff better... Like Mr. Schreiber, I have sold
their customers more product than the staff through better education.

A lot of the time customers come in bound and determined to get fish,
irregardless of anything else. let them know that their fish will be
happier, grow larger, and be better looking with proper care, and they
often pun bite /pun and buy more.......
