I was actually escorted off Wal MArt property in town, and told that
if I returned I wuol dbe arrested for tresspassing. Localcops
actuaslly came and read me the riiot act, manager filed a complaint on
me and I was told to vacate the premisis.all due to their inept fish
keeping ability.

- - I always spoke nicely to the manages but any changes were always
temporary. More than one manager told me their biggest problem is employees
lack of interest and knowledge of the fish they are assigned to care for.
They don't have knowledgeable people applying for the job. I suggest the
store pay a living wage and give people health benefits and perhaps they'd
find knowledgeable people and be able to keep them.

I really raised holy hell with them. I even took pics
(so I told them) and that really got them in an uproar. I sent info to
PETA and mailed Wally World almost daily. I used to send my wife or
youngin inside to get more needed evidence............and from time to
time I would make a quick run through myself ;p) That store and one
more here no longer sells fish of any kind. I even turned them in for
the live lobsters conditions............They soon quit handling live
lobsters. I made out ok though as I eventually obtained the entire
tank setup that was in the one store, when by default the person that
originally happend to get it fell down and could not pick it up, I
managed to acquire it, as well as a temp[erature controlled live
lobster tank.

- - Yes, I remember when you got those tanks. You really lucked out.

all free for the picking up and hauling away. That is the
2nd set of tanks I have aquired, as I got an entire setup from a Petco
previously...........I have since sold the petco setup but still have
the Wal mart setup going strong. I use them for over winter housing of
my tropicals once I take em out of the preforms outside.
